Amazing venison. Scallops were great but small portion. More of a bite than a starter. Quiet and quaint with tasty food

We had a lovely experience. The food was outstanding - the bone marrow and pig cheeks were the standouts. The staff were lovely and the ambience was perfect. Would highly recommend.

Staff are lovely. Service is quick. I came here in Sept 2024 with a friend and it was ok/ good. Came back in Dec 2024 with my partner. The food was pretty unpleasant. Fortunately we were starving so we largely ate it but we both felt quite unwell after. The chef puts a hell of a lot of salt on the food. Rich pork cheeks on creamy Welsh rarebit combines two dishes and was overly rich. The pasta tasted as if it were cooked in cream and covered in too much Parmesan and salt. Just too sickly. Too much going on. Less is more! Let the ingredients speak for themselves. Good ingredients with as little done to them as possible would work much better. The River Cafe knows how to keep it simple. That’s the secret of good cuisine. Glad we have been to Chequers but I think we won’t go again.
