Riverside Restaurant in Scunthorpe is a charming and well-regarded eatery nestled along Stather Road, offering picturesque views of the River Trent and Humber. Known for its tranquil riverside setting, the restaurant provides a relaxed and scenic atmosphere, perfect for romantic dinners, casual outings, or special occasions. With a spacious outdoor area, guests can enjoy their meals while watching the sunset or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings.

The restaurant prides itself on serving high-quality, locally sourced produce, with a menu that emphasizes “good quality simple food served well.” Diners can expect a variety of options, including dry-aged steaks, fresh fish dishes, and vegetarian and gluten-free selections. Weekly themed nights add to the appeal—Thursday is curry night, Friday is dedicated to fish, and Saturdays feature premium steaks with a bottle of wine or beer included in a set deal for two.

One of the standout offerings is the Sunday carvery, available from 12 to 3 PM, which includes five types of meat alongside vegetarian and gluten-free alternatives. This has become a local favourite, drawing regulars who appreciate the generous portions and comforting flavours. The restaurant is also known for its warm and attentive service, with many reviewers praising the friendly staff and welcoming ambiance.

Riverside Restaurant operates on a limited weekly schedule, open from Thursday to Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons. This focused approach allows the team to maintain high standards in both food and service. With its combination of scenic views, hearty meals, and community spirit, Riverside Restaurant continues to be a beloved dining spot in North Lincolnshire.
