Riverside Inn Saltford in Bath and North East Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The manager of this place is ruining it. Twice I’ve visited and twice been left with a sour taste. Micro managing even the customers to the point of telling them where to stand and how to order a pint. I really feel sorry for the staff, breathing down their necks and not allowing them to get on with their jobs, obviously not a healthy work environment. The location is stunning, food was good, the weather was hot and being a weekend the place should have been rammed but it was fairly sparse… I can only think that others, like myself, won’t be back until she’s removed, not an enjoyable and relaxing environment. The owners really should step in.

Went in for a pint whilst passing on the bikes. There were two women behind the bar deep in conversation when I entered. Despite them seeming to acknowledge my presence, they carried on with their conversation for a couple of minutes until I had to ask "are you open?". One of the women looked at me like I was an alien! First impressions count - these guys need to learn that. Decent enough pint and the location is great for a view of the river, but the service needs a bit of attention.

I attended a wedding here at the weekend and it was spectacular, all members of staff were happy, polite and helpful. Food was amazing.

A great gastro pub in a beautiful location and the food was first rate a prices excellent

Beautiful setting just stopped for a quick pint

Great curried goat in peaceful setting. There's a dodgy turning back onto the main road.

Sunday carvery Disappointing, the roast poultry was very tasteless and dry. They serve a very small amount of meat. You can take as many vegetables you want but again tasteless and bland potatoes The location is beautiful.

It’s a shame such a gorgeous location is tarnished by poor management. The food is poor other than an overpriced pizza, the manager is a grumpy miserable woman than spends more time micromanaging staff and getting drunk than running the place. From the few times I’ve been in she’s been drunk and bossing staff around unnecessarily. She’s very lucky to have a pub in the location it’s in by the river and to have a venue space attached. Because without a doubt if she were to run a pub in a less fortunate location she’s run it into the ground. Especially after seeing her ask staff to keep pouring her alcohol when clearly inebriated. A unfair position to put her staff which hold a duty of care not to serve clearly intoxicated people irregardless of her being the owner or not. Whatever the staff are paid it’s not enough from the poor management I’ve not only witnesses first hand on a number of occasions but through other people also. A shame because the pub could be an ideal location and thriving business if ran better. Alan

We ate at thr riverside today. Food always really good. But today the staff were so helpful my daughter taken really poorly and they couldn't of helped any better so a huge thank you 🙏 from us . Shout out to the lady with gorgeous red hair super helpful .. Michelle Chambers

Really nice great for a after funeral event

Lovely Sunday carvery, plenty to choose from. Great value for money

OK, it was cheaper to stay outside Bristol. Place was fine and I had a goat curry that was good. Our rooms had a shared bathroom. It was fine but just saying. Not marking it down as I am sure I read it.

Are visit was just for the Sunday Lunch. The place is clean with employees continuously cleaning tables as people vacate. It’s a carvery so of course you have to queue. But the food is absolutely lovely and impressive we think when the trays of food are being replaced as soon as they run low. Also a very reasonable price. Very well run .

Even when your a customer you end up with a parking charge so wont be bringing my family back again

We came for an event. The service was friendly, the dining area and garden were lovely however the food was really bad. It was such a letdown.

We had our second family get-together at the Riverside on Sunday and as with the first one we had a great time. Everyone knew to enter their car registrations and there were plenty of reminders around the pub. Our tables were on the conservatory patio which has a great view over the river, exactly as promised by landlady Holly. We stayed all afternoon and never felt under any pressure to leave. There’s an interesting mix of food on the menu from pizza to goat curry and everyone enjoyed what they had. The staff were friendly and service was efficient aside from a couple of order mix-ups, which may have been down to us rather than the pub! I liked the fact that there were jugs of tap water on the bar to help yourself to, a nice touch. The seven children in our group had a great time playing in the play area and the gardens. All in all a very nice experience and one we plan to repeat! Thank you Holly and staff!

Booking in staff quite unfriendly, room was a nice size & had a lovely view but it was cold & smelt of damp. Breakfast wasn't great, basic, bacon undercooked & not a lot of choice.

We held my mum’s wake at The Riverside. Great service, great choice to preorder in advance for guests. We as a family had lots of comments on lovey the food was. Also a great selection of gluten free

Fantastic location, stopped for lunch. We split the small Nachos and the Jerk Chicken. Have to say the Jerk Chicken was outstanding!!! (Nachos were very good as well) Would highly recommend

Loved food was amazing will definitely visit again

Had Jerk chicken rice and peas and salad, Goat curry rice and peas and salad and chicken goujons and chips for my 2 year old grandson. All cooked and served beautifully. Lovely setting and lovely safe child's playground for the kids with plenty of seating available. Don't forget to sign in with car registration

We attended a wedding reception it was magical. We also stayed in an amazing room that was beautifully fitted out and doggy friendly

Great spot and lovely pub. Really friendly managers. Thoroughly recommend

Booked a single room with breakfast which was very reasonably priced given the location. Room was shared bathroom but I have to say the bathroom was immaculate. The room was pleasant enough but the TV didn't work, the sky box only showed one channel. There was also no milk for tea n coffee and no phone in the room to notify staff of the issues. Breakfast was very nice and served plated with juice and coffee at an agreed time. Recommended.

This was a lovely place by the river. Food good service good. Xx

Excellent pub-restaurant in a rural location near the marina. Convenient parking, good service, nice food, reasonable prices, and outdoor seating for good weather.

I always stay at the Riverside when visiting the area to see my family. It’s a real haven for me now. The setting is magnificent, right in the water, some of the rooms with a stunning view of the river and weir. Great too that the windows are one way so no one can see into the rooms. It’s a very friendly welcome, and the food is delicious. Breakfast in bed a real treat too. I do find some of the the rooms a tiny bit chilly. But they’re beautifully decorated and very clean and the beds are super cosy. Lovely to have fridge with fresh milk too.

We recently had our wedding reception at the Riverside and I honestly cannot fault it. Holly was incredibly helpful from start to finish. The team on hand in the night were amazing too! From setting up my little bits of decor just how I would have liked it and taking it all back down, the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. They truly made the how process stress free which is one less thing to worry about when wedding planning! Oh and the burger bar was fab too! Thank you team for making our day!

Still great value for money, good food, friendly staff, must go back every once in a while

A lovely facility near the river but many opportunities lost in terms of the lack menu choices and the lack of friendly engagement from staff who clearly didn't want to be there. Overall, very disappointing.

We had visited as part of a day trip we booked on valentines day, it included a carvery in which was great for my partner as he was a meat eater - the only negative I have is the option for a vegetarian wasn't great (I myself have been vegetarian for over 5 years), tasty as part of a different meal maybe but didn't really fit the carvery/roast meal for me personally - everything else was delicious, drinks were lovely and the setting was amazing!!

I hadn't been to Bath/Bristol in a long time, so we decided to make it a family trip for the weekend. Riverside Inn did not disappoint! The rooms were super clean, the view was lovely, and the breakfast was great. We imagine it would be a lovely spot for the summer, too. We recommend it!

Great Sunday roast , as always. 30 of us went to celebrate my wife's birthday. Great service , atmosphere , food and staff. With great music from Taylor T .

BEWARE THE CAR PARK! It charges if you even go near it.

Lovely place to have a drink in the summer or on a nice day. Great food and great atmosphere
