Friday Night Barbeques

Friday night barbeques have started, which we have actually been able to hold outdoors, even without umbrellas or raincoats!

These Friday night barbeques will continue throughout the summer, but new for this July and August is the addition of Saturday night barbeques (bar 10th July when we are closed for private party) , when we are hoping it is going to be a hot and sunny with beautiful summers evenings, (at last after 3 years waiting!). A sample barbeque menu is attached, although we plan to expand this and introduce fish options too.

We are still open every day, and intend to extend our opening times as the summer progresses. The bar is open whenever we are, so you can always come down for a drink (juices, Lavazza coffees, wines and draught local Bays Bitter and even more local village Real Drink Yarde cider ) and enjoy the calm, relaxed setting.

Any queries, bookings (not necessary for bbq's) or anything else please don't hesitate to contact us 01803 782520 or info@therivershack.co.uk

Hope to see you soon

Flavourfest

Prepare your taste buds for Plymouth's local produce extravaganza at Britain's best farmers market

Flavour Fest was the brainchild of the Plymouth City Centre Company and local Michelin-starred chef Jacques Marchal, who for over 25 years ran the Chez Nous restaurant in the centre of Plymouth. Plymouth Flavour Fest 2010 will have over 100 food stalls packed with tasty offerings from fine food producers across the South West.

The popular Cookery Theatre will be back, organized by Jacques in association with Lawsons and Castles Kitchens, showcasing inspiring techniques by top local chefs.

Plymouth Flavour Fest takes place on the Piazza, in Plymouth City Centre, which is transformed into a bustling, Continental-style market, full of colour and the smells of delicious food being prepared. Fine food producers from Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset will be offering locally produced food, ranging from organic meat and vegetables to oysters and delicious preserves.

The event will again be linking up with local restaurants, inviting them to produce a Flavour Fest special dish during the week of the event, prepared using the best in locally sourced produce.
