I reviewed this pub last year and have recently returned. I should have listened to the old reviews on here again before i went back!!!! What an aweful place it has turned into. The food has dropped to Weatherspoon standard but they are charging michilin prices and the brilliant customer service that they once had now represents Mac Donalds. I spoke with the female manager who claimed to be the landlady who gave the impression that it was the end of the world, never have i seem someone so down about their job. If she's not happy, how do you expect the staff to be?! Anyway, i'm definately staying away this year, will report again next summer i guess!!

I think people are a little hard on this place. Yes it is modern, but tastefully so. Big and comfy and perfect Youngs bitter (pretty steep, as others mention.) V nice on a late Sunday afternoon.

It might be by the water, but spending time here is pretty depressing, catering to a mixture of residents from the above dystopian nightmare more commonly known as 'luxury flats' and nearby office workers seemingly with more money than taste.

It looks rather like mid-range hotel bar - with the atmosphere to match. Anyone after a better pub experience in the area would be advised to look on BITE at some of the other pubs in Vauxhall - there are three or four better places nearby.

Having decided to give the Riverside a try, even though the reviews might have suggested otherwise I have to say I was amazed at the improvement in service, food and over all atmosphere.
Two of my friends had had a bad experience with a surly waiter in the past, but it was obvious to me that they have a new management team and as we didnt recognise any of the staff a new floor and bar team too!
The problems seem to have been fixed, we enjoyed our meal, and left much later and much merrier than planned. Will be back!!

I had booked a table at The Riverside as recommended by a friend for Sunday lunch last week but upon reading these reviews, whilst looking for directions, i got rather concened.

We were greated upon arrival by a very friendly waiter who gave us an outside table with great views down the river.

We were informed that The Riverside had recently employed a new head chef due to problems with food quality and we were handed menus that looked rather appetising. Most of us had the Sunday roast which was a plate full of succulent meat and veg but a couple of the party were more adventurous and opted for the Kangaroo burger and Whole Roasted Sea Bass which both had great reviews.

i would definately recommend The Riverside as a venue. Yes it isn't cheap but you get what you pay for! (we paid £13.95 for a roast and £2.90 for a pint of Bitter)
