About the restaurant

At The River Shack we are not interested in fuss or formalities, we simply want to provide you with delicious food and drink in a relaxed and beautiful setting.

You can dine right by the waters edge on sunny days, shelter in our waterside marquee on rainy ones, or relax by our log burner inside on the cooler days.

The views in themselves are worth the trip, but wait until you try the food! Our menus are creative, seasonal, rustic and delicious.

Along with the rest of our fantastic team, we look forward to meeting you down at the creek!

About the restaurant

One stop eatery
We’ve combined bar, restaurant, and café into a truly individual one stop eating and drinking experience.

We’re open, so why not stop by and sample our great food and drinks, and experience our unique, welcoming atmosphere.

Note when booking - a high top table is a taller table with bar stool height chairs, the chairs have backs and are very comfortable but we recommend not booking these if you have very young children (under 5s) or members of your party who are less able bodied.

About the restaurant

Step into the River Cottage Café

Tucked just inside the entrance to our site, the River Cottage Café is a cosy, dog friendly spot to pause for breakfast, lunch or something sweet. Set above our award winning Cookery School, it’s perfectly perched to take in sweeping views across the Axe Valley.

Our ever-changing seasonal menu celebrates the best organic produce from our farm and trusted local growers. Expect fresh, thoughtful dishes, great coffee and a laid-back welcome.

While you’re here, take a moment to browse our book nook, where you’ll find a full collection of River Cottage books to enjoy with your lunch or a slice of cake.
On select evenings, we host ticketed Dining Feasts in our threshing barn at the bottom of the hill. So if the café appears open but no tables are available to book, it may be in preparation for one of these events.
