This is everything you would expect from a good, community centred independant cafe. The coffee is great and the selection of food is brilliant (including a lovely selection of home baked cakes).
There is always a warm and friendly welcome and a very full and varied selection of craft and community meetings and events.
Rivers Meet is well worth a detour
Local cafe come craft shop. Not exactly hip and trendy but not a greasy spoon either. Down to earth, welcoming, laid back and serves good reasonably priced food. Tea served in proper china cups. Paninis from £2.80. Homemade soups and a nice array of homemade cakes. A great little find, ideal for a quick well-priced snack. It's almost cheaper to come here than to cook your own. I've been here a number of times and never been disappointed. Newspapers and magazines, leather sofas, open fire. You can even pick up some needlework items should you wish. For what it is, with no pretences, 5 stars. Even the music was pretty good today; Marvin Gaye, Byrds, Scott Walker.
Lovely, friendly, bustling cafe - great welcome at the end of a long, wet trek along the river. Delicious scones and a pot of tea in real china, wonderful!
What an absolute delight of a place. We sat outside around the back & had pulled pork sandwiches. Utterly delicious on a proper scuffler.
Adorable mix & match vintage style crockery which I thought was adorable!
Really lovely staff as well. I can't wait to go back and sample the rest of the menu. It's so close to where I live I can't believe I have never been before! See you soon!
I arrived just too late for the breakfast - but was allowed to order it! Maybe that’s why it was not crispy bacon (absolutely properly cooked -and maybe I should specify it I want it crispy!) always a friendly and accommodating place - full of locals (what better recommendation do you need!)
I will certainly come again!
Lovely afternoon tea for four people. We were served what I think may have been the largest scones ever, which were amazing. Good service, reasonably priced.
I love Rivers Meet. Lovely food. Always gluten free options. I like all the vintage crockery and the little shop. Such a good atmosphere.
I took a friend today, it was her 1st time. It was a lovely experience from going in to coming out. Everything about River's Meet was great. We bought some gorgeous unusual gifts from the craft shop. We both had a lovely time even joined in singing with the lovely Gentleman that served us. Really worth a visit.
Thank you for a lovely experience we will be back.
Moira & Carol 💐.
I may have been unlucky but my English Breakfast wasn’t good. If I returned, it would be for coffee and cake which looked excellent.
Lovely food, friendly staff and quirky setting. Definitely recommend.
Lovely place, buzzing at lunchtime. Lovely chatter, gorgeous baked potatoes and adorable crafts available. Only got a picture of an empty plate because it was too good to stop for a pic! 😅
Really impressed with the cake and cheese. A great stop off when cycling on the Trans Pennine Trail. Enjoyed sitting outside.
