What a great find this was for lunch. Right by the river. Not much parking there but will be going again. Order and pay at the old van (French ?) with your table number and so comes with table service. Beautifully clean toilets inside the cafe too. Well done to the proprietors. Could do with asking for a jug of hot water when ordering the tea.
Great place to relax and enjoy an afternoon tea by the water. Egg salad and BLT sandwiches were delicious, delicious scone, cake, and brownie with proper clotted cream. Sooooo good and highly recommend if you want a break from the hustle and bustle of Whitby town centre.
A very attractive location by the River Esk in the village of Ruswsrp. There is both internal and external seating available and the internal is both attractive and well laid out. A wide range of snacks, meals, beverages and alcoholic drinks are available, and service is suitably prompt. Somewhat oddly, even though am internal counter exists, it is necessary to order food / drinks 'outside' from the catering van which, for all intensive purposes, acts as a take-away facility? Despite this, staff are friendly, polite and helpful and the venue is still worth a visit.
We decided to pop in after seeing some signs and what a lovely place! The carrot cake was amazing and so was the coffee. My OH enjoyed his scone with jam and cream too and I got my toe nibbles by a duck! A lovely place to sit and enjoy the weather and atmosphere
Great little cafe off the beaten track. Idyllic surroundings for a spot of lunch. The food was fresh & delicious. And the view to be had whilst eating was the icing on the cake.
Located along the riverside this cafe provides both a large outdoor seating area on the grass and inside seating too. The cafe sells duck food that can be thrown into the river for children to enjoy. The cafe also allows for older generations to watch as their family members ride past on kayaks and rowing boats enjoying a lovely coffee or tea
The only downside I found is limited parking spaces close to the cafe but parking can be located at the miniature train station located within 100m of the cafe with a path around it it
Just stopped off for a rest and something to eat while on a walk. I am very glad I did beautiful views while enjoying something to eat and drink.
The Riverside cafe is set on the river esk , a gorgeous relaxing setting . Tables right beside the river , very peaceful. We had prawn and crab sandwiches which were delicious. Good selection of food choices. Table service too. There's a mini train for the children to ride. Think it was €2.50 each. All in all a lovely couple of hours spent here .
Lovely peaceful Riverside open air cafe. Fed the ducks, went on the railway, wonderful few hours
Decent, good grub. A lovely setting both inside and out. There's ducks, swans and geese outside that aren't quite cheeky enough to steal your lunch. Especially as there's duck food for sale.
Nice to sit and watch the boats, canoes and steam train go by!
