About This Pub
Ah, the Riverside – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper treat when you step inside. Nestled along the River Don, it's got this welcoming family-friendly setup with plenty of amenities like outdoor play for the little ones and easy access for everyone, so it's ideal if you're out with the family or just mates. The staff really stand out; they're always so cheerful and attentive, making sure your pint's poured just right or your meal arrives without a hitch, which adds to that homely feel. The food's a winner too – think tasty classics like a warming steak and ale pie or those unbeatable weekday deals where you can fill up for a tenner, and it's all at a moderate price that won't break the bank. On the flip side, it's not without its minor niggles; occasionally, something like a steak might come out a bit overcooked, and being part of the Hungry Horse chain, it does have that familiar pub feel rather than something truly unique. Still, with a solid 4.1 rating from loads of folks, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a good time, especially if you're after a straightforward, enjoyable spot for a midweek pint or a weekend meal. All in all, I'd say it's worth a visit for a bit of riverside relaxation and some honest, no-fuss fun.

Cons
-
Some dishes might not be cooked quite to perfection, like a steak that was a tad overdone in one instance, which is a bit disappointing if you're after something specific.

As it's part of a chain, it can feel a touch generic at times, missing that unique local charm you might find in independent spots.

Just called here on our way home last minute. Had the Sunday dinner with a drink for £11. Food was lovely had a glass of pinot which was beautiful. Why cook when the price, atmosphere and friendly staff make it well worth a visit 👍👍
Went here for our evening dinner as we were stopping in the area for a couple of nights.
