    Had a group booking for a work catch-up and Riverland and all the staff were fantastic. Big groups can be very annoying, especially at closing time but the staff were always polite and provided great service. Food was great and the team all commented on what a great spot it was. Will definitely be back for work drinks again.

    Best service at a bottomless brunch I've ever had. Teá was the perfect level of present but not over the top and so friendly. Food was good enough and one of the drinks was great (the other two just not to my taste). Will definitely book again - excellent value!

    Great place to start your night off. Perfect location. We did the Bottomless pizza and Prosecco experience, our server Cat was lovely. We’d throughly recommend and would go again.
