Lovely position, very well thought out décor, friendly attentive staff, great Italian menu........ so imagine our disappointment when the bread and olives arrived (bearing in mind the Italian background) and instead of the anticipated focaccia or similar with some delicious olives,we got those tasteless black pitted cheap as chips ones and some French stick of the mass catering part baked...

Went to the River Cafe last night - very few people out due to the cold but the welcome was very warm and the food was all cooked to perfection. Including the ratatouile cooked specially for my daughter by Charlie - thanks. Can not fault it. More

I am sick to death of retail businesses that seem to dislike customers. Charlie shows just what can be achieved when you put in the effort. I have only eaten breakfast (twice) and been in for coffee (twice). You can see the level of care that they put in and I bet that they extend this to everything that they... More

I've now stayed twice. Brilliant location next to the river. Rooms are clean and well presented. Food is brilliant and most importantly Jane and Charlie are a lovely... More

Our group of 6 friends arrived late at night tired and exhausted at the RiverCafe in Glasbury to a very welcoming crew. We slept very well in this quiet surroundings and a fantastic breakfast sent us off on a great start of our expedition. We certainly will be back! Thanks to all. Josh, Dan, Tim, Charlie, Josh and El.

The B&B accommodation was very comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. Although situated by the road into Glasbury, there was no traffic noise at night and the river setting was very restful. We took Charlie's advice and went kayaking for the morning from the Canoe Centre right on the doorstep up to Hay. It was easy and really relaxing. Another... More
