Summer, slowed down 

What better place to while away a summer afternoon? Some days are best measured in oyster shells and cold martinis, and this summer’s menu at The River Restaurant gives you every reason to stay even longer. 

Start with the seafood platter – yellowfin tuna, seabass ceviche, tiger prawns, devilled crab, oysters, Shetland mussels – for a generous and unhurried spread that celebrates the best of the coast.

Finish with The Good Bit, a crystal-clear martini inspired by the last spoonful of a perfect tomato salad: bright, savoury, and with just enough heat to make you want another.

We’re serving the finest British shellfish and seafood this season. Come for lunch. Leave whenever the evening decides.
