Riverside East (Stratford)

We enjoyed a delicious roast with bottomless fizz and unlimited Yorkshire puddings here today. Moni who was our server was lovely, very attentive and great with the kids. Moni and Nick the manager were always making sure that we we were ok and asking if we needed anything else. The food was delicious. Myself and two children had the roast chicken and my husband had the roast beef. Everything was cooked to perfection and the Yorkshire puddings were huge! The restaurant itself was bright, airy and clean. It wasn't too busy which suited us perfectly. The toilets were clean too which is always a plus. We enjoyed our first visit to Riverside East and will definitely come back here to eat next time we are in the area.

We had such a delicious dinner here! Everything was a delight, from the Parmesan croquettes to the perfectly cooked steak with peppercorn sauce, and finishing with the zero-waste bread and butter pudding. The staff were all super friendly too. I can’t wait to come back for a weekend brunch or roast!

The quality/price ratio is pretty bad, I went there for brunch and spent more than £12 for literally a £1 worth of food (see pic). While the "Bacon Benny" was a delusion but good, the Brulee French Toast wasn't even cooked properly, it was burned at the top and uncooked in the middle. The atmosphere is quite nice and cosy but it's totally not worth spending 💰 for the food they serve.

I work nearby and decided to stop in for lunch. I ordered the Moving Mountains burger, and as I was placing my order, the server reminded me — almost pointedly — that it’s vegan. I replied that I am vegan, and that’s exactly why I chose it. After waiting about 25 minutes, with others who ordered after me already eating, I went to ask about my food. The same server couldn’t give me an answer and had to check with a colleague, who seemed confused about the vegan burger order altogether. At that point, I decided to ask for a refund. They apologised and said they were busy, but honestly, the service was poor — especially considering everyone else seemed to get their meals promptly. Hopefully my refund comes through, but overall, a disappointing experience. I popped round the corner to Gordon Ramsey's restaurant and got a lovely vegan burger and fries in the end.

Best roast in Stratford! Came here on Sunday and had the beef Sunday roast and it was magnificent. We also had a wonderful server who made the whole meal a delight. Glad this venue is open and will definitely add it to our local rotation!

Such a great addition to Stratford. Had a lovely lunch in the cafe and headed outside for drinks in the sunshine. Staff were super friendly, well priced and lots of options to choose from. Looking forward to my next visit!

Not usually one to leave a reviews but I hope this is helpful. The venue is great, it’s in a lovely setting and is really well fitted out. Given that, the service is really really bad. We waited for ages to order drinks (which came wrong) then order food (ended up going to the bar for it) and then ordered some further drinks which were put on our bill but never came. There were 5 wait staff behind the bar having a conversation, on their phones etc. and then about 3 tables worth of people in the venue desperately trying to get their attention. It feels like they just really need a manager somewhere to remind people that they’re at work.

Came in on a Saturday with our dog for drinks and stayed for a few rounds due to the nice atmosphere (and amazing red wine). 👀 Saw their menu for a Sunday roast so we came in the next day....could not have been more satisfied. The roast was one of the best we've had. I'd die for nothing but that cauliflower cheese. 🤤😍 Our waitress recommended the beef roast and could not have been a better recommendation! She was also super friendly and helpful and made it an even better experience. Super excited to come back and try their other food menu items! 😁
