My cousin threw a party here and it was amazing. The service was phenomenal from the bartenders, I’m not sure if they were hired by my cousin or from the establishment itself.
We had a great night for my daughters 18th. Right from the start everything was so easy. Louise answered any email queries straight away. James the manager was brilliant, so helpful both times we came to view and with helping us to set up our own music, which was so easy. The bouncers were outstanding, I have never met such polite and fun security before and they all even helped when a lost old lady wandered in and took great care of her. Thank you to you all, a great party and amazing service.
Nicely set out decor ambiance nice. The staff great. No complaints
We celebrated our friends 60th Great night and excellent company
Celebrated my 30th birthday in the function suite and it was absolutely lovely. The bar staff, the security and James was really nice. Enough space for food set up and fully equiped dj booth! Everything went down without a hitch and I had an absolutely amazing time.
Definitely recommended.
James the security man has excellent customer service last night. I couldn't get an uber . He done uber on his phone and paid for my short journey home. Thank you once again James. From Delphine. 27th Nov
I've been in the Promotions game for over 10 years. I've met the worst of the worst when it comes to venue managers. But I am very grateful to be working with the managers (James & Louise) at Riva. Communication is excellent. Any problems we have on the night are smoothly worked out. My guests love the venue, and it's staff. The security are so cool you can catch jokes with them. Overall, I have zero complaints. As a black promoter I have come across microaggression when I tell venues that I want to play Bashment or Hip Hop. I've had none of those issues at Riva. It's a venue in Catford, they get, understand & are a part of the wider community. You can play bashment, reggaeton, soca as long as you adhere to their dress code policy, age policy, keep your word, & treat everyone with the respect you require, you'll 1000% find that this venue is the one to hire. If not, then like any other venue, anywhere. You're not going to get on. Think of it as an echo. You get what you give.
Everything about this place is perfect. They're only just starting as a restaurant as a rework around the pandemic. The food is amazing and very reasonably priced. The owners and their staff are so great, really attentive service. 110% recommend you try this place! I'll be back for the Sunday roast this weekend 😉 Cheers Mark, Morris & others!
A brilliant night for the staff at Accident and Emergency.. the venue catered for such a large number of people with our own bar area upstairs which was brilliant. We got more for our money with the food with a large selection of variety. The staff was very welcoming and accomadating to our needs, and all in all the verdict from everyone was that they enjoyed the evening. I would highly recommend Riva, especially if you are a large party. The DJ was awsome playing to what the crowd wanted, and with a mixture of Karaoke thrown in, it made the night more fun and enjoyable.
Well done Riva!...After a stressful few months of winter pressure in our department, it was just what we needed to boast morale.
Opinion though was drinks were too expensive
Good clean venue with plenty of space. Bar is quite small but ok for small to medium events. I attended on a Saturday and although they have kitchen facilities no food was being served. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Great transport links available all the way to the city.
It was a private function that I attended when I went to Riva, the venue was ok my only issue would be that it was uncomfortably hot there was air con in the room at the bottom of the stairs but the bar area and dance floor area was so hot we were all fanning ourselves with paper plates.
It was my god-daughters 30th birthday celebrations and a good night. Staff were very helpful on the night and friendly bar staff. Would recommend for private hire.
Large function room. Needs new tables and chairs upstairs. Carpet needs changing. Hole outside the building needs attention. Friendly team. Could be more flexible with the setting up time.
It's local, I had a great time. We celebrated four 60th birthday.
