The Riverside Cafe in Malvern Hills

We were in the local area away for the weekend with our little dog and needed to find somewhere for breakfast. I messaged via FB yesterday as I wasn’t sure if they were dog friendly, they messaged back very quickly despite being closed at the time to say they were. We had breakfast there this morning. Everything was cooked well (especially the bacon which most places it isn’t) the cup of tea was great too. I had the full breakfast with extra sausage (for the dog) extra hash brown (for the wife) and black pudding. All in all a fantastic breakfast at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be visiting here again if we are ever in the area. Thanks for a fab breakfast.

Delicious breakfast cooked to perfection, friendly staff they couldn't do enough for you lovely atmosphere, very clean couldn't fault this place.

Wasn’t open after advertising was,

Very friendly staff and the food was very good. Also dog friendly. Will definitely be back. A hidden gem, wonderful location 😄

Service was pleasant, friendly, and efficient. Unfortunately, the breakfast felt poor value at £10. Cheap chipolata -style sausages, anaemic toast, cheap baked beans, and 2 very undercooked fried eggs were redeemed only slightly by some very nice bacon. I've come to set my expectations at realistic levels, but I still think a tenner for a full English breakfast should deliver at least reasonably good ingredients reasonably well cooked. Toilets were clean and odour-free, but there were no paper hand-towels available.

This is our go to place when we are in this area. We know what we like and this is definitely it. Great job.

Beautiful place for a breakfast, food was served promptly and was lovely. Staff were friendly and polite.Prices were excellent. Nothing not to like about it.

The staff are amazing and very caring. They explained they couldn't cater for my dietary requirements but they were more than happy for me to sit and eat my own food with my family eating food ordered from here. My brother loved his bacon butty. He thought it was amazing. My mum and nan really loved the cheesy chips, they said that they tasted amazing. The coffee is so nice and the atmosphere is amazing, quiet and soothing. Definitely worth 5 stars

By far and away the best breakfast and best burger in Tenbury (and surrounds). I've also had the fish and chips which was lovely. Tucked away and a tad awkward for maneuvering but plenty of car parking and such a clean kitchen and such friendly service. Prices are reasonable and the food and volume is extremely good value for money. To counter another reviewers gripe, no it's not the Ritz, I suspect the food is better quality and better value here. Love it.

Great staff, great location still dead canny

In Tenbury Wells for a couple of days work, just found this place and had one of the best BLT baguettes I've ever had, perfectly cooked and with a side salad and slaw. Gutted that I won't be able to return tomorrow, as my workers have finished a day early, but I'll be back if I'm passing through.

The prices for the food were unbelievable. Priced up like we are in the Ritz, London when really we are just in Tenbury. Feel like I’ve been violently violated. Foods bang average at best.

Coffee 😘😘 Delicious breakfast 😘😘❤️

Excellent food very friendly staff and right bye the river

I have had the pleasure of visiting the Riverside cafe,with a group of fellow Bikers, and I was very impressed. The breakfast was lovely, freshly cooked and delicious. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended

Very good value for money. Lovely meals and friendly owners.

When ever we are out that way we always stop off for one of there great breakfast s great food in a great spot

Lovely little cafe, just next to the river. Enjoyed the hearty small all-day breakfast for lunch. Hit the spot. Very tasty

We stopped here for an early lunch today. We ordered a prawn baguette, fish finger baguette and a side of cheesy chips, with a latte each. The food was absolutely smashing with huge portions! We enjoyed our food over looking the river. Will definitely come back!

Tucked away by the bridge, great place to stop on the bike, good food , sat outside overlooking the Teme, good prices, people who work there really welcoming.

Really pleasant staff and very nice omelette

One of my favourite places. Lovely little stop of. Well worth a trip on its own. Great staff and the food is excellent sat right next to the river it is beautiful weather permitting to sit out. But all the same nice little freindly cafe to sit in and enjoy.

Excellent food & setting by the river spot on

Best sausage and egg butty in town! Lovely staff always friendly .

Lovely little place. Stopped with some friends for a late breakfast/early lunch. Food was hot and fresh and tasty. Staff were lovely and polite and friendly 😊

Lovely quiet cafe for a bite to eat and a chat 😊

I come to tenbury a lot. And have given a review before. But I'm putting another one so people can see its not a one off. The people are lovely the food is wonderful and the prices are spot on. Its Mt fav place to eat in tenbury. Right by the river too

Been here 3 or 4 times recently as the food is great and the options are too. They do a really good vegetarian breakfast and a great normal breakfast traditional English fry up. I'm fussy about where I eat so can assure you the food here is lovely. Traditional cafe does what it says on the tin no frills. Tried another this week up high street.that did have frills called Tom's but they weren't serving breakfast they said even tho there was a sign outside saying they werr and staff were young uninterested girls. Went back here.

Signposted cafe which when located was to rear of a pub in their car park close to the river. Looked closed as we approached but timings said open so I pushed the door and voila - open Ordered 2 full English and nicely cooked breakfast presented alongside 2 coffees (paid small extra for upgrade and worth it) good ingredients. Only downside if their can be one is toast was was bread with butter but otherwise a great place to eat

Warm and welcoming owner lovely food and a great little place to dine whether that be inside or outside along the river

Perfect for a good portion, well priced cafe breakfast

Coffee break sitting by the river - lovely setting

Uncle and I dropped in for breakfast. The food was cooked to perfection!!! Going back Saturday as the highlight of the holiday!!!!!

the breakfast was really good £6 for bacon sausage egg beans mushrooms two hash browns toast and and a cuppa. was tasty hot not burnt or any grease would defiantly come back for breakfast again. top marks

Hidden gem. Must find for the breakfast hungry. Hot and fresh. Lunch also available.

Was nice . Lovely view. Expensive but cheap food

Stopped and had a real well presented breakfast. Very nice, everything cooked to perfection, with a mug of tea to wash it down, sat outside on provided picnic benches, although plenty of seating inside, sat with an elevated view of the flowing river beneath. We will definitely go there again.

Poor service. I felt this place was not very clean. Man preparing food had the filthiest of tea towels he kept throwing on to his shoulder and even used it to wipe services he proceeded to prepare food on! Another man was handling cooked food and rearranging on plates, not using food tongs. Really put me off. We had egg and sausage sandwiches which were well cooked and hot and tasted nice. Just the hygiene in show which was off putting.

Great food, top stop especially if you're on the bike!

Took a 9am walk along the high street. Sadly most places were closed. However this turned to a positive when we found the cafe. Friendly staff. Quick service and lovely great value breakfast.

It was lovely friendly staff food great 👍 brilliant

Fabulous food and service. Views over the river. Make this your number 1 choice for drinks and great quality menu. Highly recommended. Thank you for a great experience.

Amazing big breakfast an decent coffee will be back again

Great people great food Happy there back in business.

Good place to eat drink ran by good people well worth a vist

Good food at low cost , very friendly

What a lovely place in a great setting. We'd been out with friends on a cold ride so the warm welcome and good hot food was just what we wanted. I can heartily recommend the Omelettes. This was our first visit but it won't be the last.

Absolutely beautiful breakfast and amazing service, staff are friendly and in just an absolutely beautiful spot, would recommend

Excellent food and excellent service

Small breakfast was good value we thought. Sit in or on benches overlooking the river. Or do both as we did.

Good coffee. Good place to rest by the river

Great staff, good prices, lovely food. Couldn't beat it.

This is a perfect little spot for a biker cafe. They cater for vegan food to witch is a massive bonus. If you are passing through or are local do not miss this hidden gem.

Didn't get what I ordered asked for bacon and egg sandwich didn't get egg couldn't complain shop was about to shut

Lovely food in pleasant surroundings overlooking the river sitting at tables outside. Was closing mid-afternoon but didn’t feel rushed.

Fantastic location with good friendly service.

An excellent little cafe that manages to be a modern mix of the greasy spoon and trendy bistro, without any of the downsides. Staff are really friendly, prices are very reasonable, service is very quick and the food is very good. The fry ups looked really tempting (well cooked and very little excess fat) and my prawn baguette was well filled and came with an excellent and colourful side salad. I would definitely go again.

Great place for a riverside lunch. Recommended!

Great to see it open again. Food is top quality

Good food and drink, lovely location.

Excellent. A warm welcome as soon as we entered, friendly staff, quick, nicely presented food, and clean. Would definitely recommend Tge Riverside Cafe

Parked car and ordered ice creams with tea , service was quick and staff friendly and polite. Will visit again when in Tenbury.

Quiet Riverside cafe who welcome bikers... Recomended

Lovely friendly service, served us drinks and a snack after we had travelled a long way and arrived ten mins after closing time! Much appreciated, nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely visit again.

I've eaten here several times over the last few weeks, with friends and with my husband. The food is always fabulous and the setting, right next to the river, is unbeatable on a nice day. Staff are friendly and efficient - what more could you ask for. Cooked breakfast is especially recommended, but the chilli and the burgers are also very tasty.

Excellent cafe, well cooked food at reasonable prices and very clean inside. Great views of the river from the outside seating. Recommended.

Fantastic breakfast. The best in town.

Great food, location and value. Highly recommended

We had lunch which was excellent

Made very welcome,and great staff

Amazing service from lynsey and great prices. Would definitely use again and again.

I'm so pleased Riverside Cafe is back in business. My first return visit today, .at 30th, to this Tenbury Wells gem. My favourite haunt for breakfast or brunch when I go for a ride out on my Yamaha Fazer, as today, or in my old Triumph Spitfire car. Always a friendly welcome but, above all, the food is good. All freshly prepared, nicely cooked and well presented. The pride in cooking simple foods well and pleasing customers is evident. My favourite is the ham, cheese and mushroom omelette; superb. The home-made lasagne is excellent also; as is the homemade coleslaw. Riverside Cafe is situated on right just over the Teme bridge from the Worcester/Ludliw road side. Smart and clean inside with the option of several outdoor bench tables overlooking the river Teme. If you haven't tried it yet, you are missing a treat.

Fabulous breakfast, friendly service, beautiful view

Amazing location, proper full English, great staff, and bouncing back with a smile after being pasted by floods then COVID. Highly recommended.

Travelling through, four of us made a random stop in Tenbury Wells. A break in the weather meant we could choose a bench by the river. We later learnt this can seriously flood and has been into the cafe… Four people, fish and chips, cheese ploughman’s, prawn sandwiches, cheese and pickle sandwiches and some sweet potato fries. Three teas and a can. All very cheerfully served for the grand total of £25. Stunning value, great lunch, my ploughman’s had 4 types of cheese and some ham, coleslaw, salad, pickles, gherkins, chutney, bread and butter! They suffered flooding, survived a pandemic and now really deserve support. Fabulous. Thank you..SJK&S

Stopped for bacon sarnies while out with friends on a car blat Lovely sitting outside by the river. Outside seating only as per current government COVID guidelines Great food. Service as quick as possible due to the popularity of the venue. Many bikers there. Clearly a meeting point for them Car park quite small but on a Sunday you could easily park on the high street Highly recommend. We will definitely eat here again on subsequent blats

What a lovely place & great service from the owner. It lies Right next to the bridge and overlooks the river. We Had a full English & Veggie breakfast. My partner was impressed with the portion size and range of veggie food - Very accommodating and reasonable prices. Bikers welcome and ample free parking. Check it out and support this local business. Highly recommended.

This has been our 3rd visit in the last fortnight. Big plus is the location-a delightful spot by the canal. Excellent coffee at a fair price, very good sèrvice even when busy, lots of SPACE for children play area AND a beautiful garden. On the 18 bus route. Parking no problems. Ideal for those who choose to cycle. Restroom facilities excellent. A real discovery!

Traditional greasy spoon food, many much better options in high Street. Shame as could be really good like previous owners.

I have my favourite haunts for a Tenbury breakfast. I was in need of an early breakfast and my favourites were closed! ‘The River Side’ is the first and earliest to open in Tenbury so I gave it a try! Breakfast was absolutely brilliant- clean, tasty, quality and just the right amount. Well priced, lovely guy serving and cooking - clean, light ambiance and I will return and definitely recommend.

Went with wife I had a breakfast and the wife had omelette. Both came quickly and were ok, Coffee was strong and tasty. Service was good and friendly. Its a nice location but it was not a nice day but on a sunny day it is right next to the river so nice to eat outside.

Found the venue and dirwctions via Google Maps. Excellent service and well prepared good quality food and hot drinks.

Spacious car park, ideal for transferring from car to wheelchair. Sat at table overlooking river, in glorious sunshine, and sat back and enjoyed our coffees. Wonderfully peaceful.

Lovely friendly people...freshly cooked hot food . Lovely view of river plenty of seating large car park ...defo going again

Very clean and super friendly. Nice fresh food, plenty of room inside and out. Good prices too. Good hardstanding parking for motorcycles. I shall be going back.

Travelling home - desperate for lunch - brilliant service - brilliant food - absolutely a superb find - will be back next time we are this way

Lovely food and friendly service.

Fabulous! What a great find. Lovely food, lovely friendly service. You can sit outside, eat your food and watch the ducks on the river. Wonderful views with this delightful riverside cafe!

Food is typical cafe, run by very obliging guys. The food was dried up and the proportion of pasta to filling made the dishes rather dry and unappetising.

A basic sit by the river seven drinking coffee etc and a breakfast or similar and watch and hear the ducks. The guys running the cafe are very friendly and helpful so if you need a break from your journey pay them a visit, they will be glad to see you.

Brilliant veggie omelette, and at a good price, many thanks

Great place with friendly staff coffee and food very good

We love this little cafe, open on Sunday too!

Stopped here for breakfast with a friend. The breakfast is really good value for money £6.50 breakfast, toast and drink. The quality however leaves a lot to be desired. The bacon was very salty, the sausage were akin to a Richmond sausage, I opted for a coffee which turned out to be instant. All in all if you a fan of a weatherspoons break you'll probably like this. I might return fo lunch one day, hopefully that is worthy of 5 stars.

I really liked this cafe. I had a breakfast, my wife had a BLT, it was very nice. Even better, enjoyed it overlooking the river.

Stopped off with our baby for a quick lunch while travelling through the area. Our expectations were not high as this appeared to be one of the only places in the area open for a late lunch. We were very pleasantly surprised. The outdoor area was simple but overlooking the pretty river, the management were welcoming and showed a genuine interest in their customers. We ordered a jacket potato with beans and cheese and a lasagne both of which were good value, tasty and nicely presented. After having modest expectations we were very pleasantly surprised and would definitely stop by again to refresh when in the area.

Regularly use this cafe situated near to Tenbury bridge for a quick break when out. Pleasant staff, clean with very good prices and decent food. If the weather is nice there is a small outside area right on the riverbank which you can use which adds to the attraction. This is not the Savoy but for a small town cafe it really is very good.

My friend had the ploughmans plate and I had a BLT baguette, we had 4 cappuccinos and the bill was less than 15 pounds! Excellent food, great portions and wonderful service. Easy parking, overlooking the river. Definitely worth a visit.

Great value friendly and a nice spot over looking the River.

This is one of those rare finds. Great honest food at a good price.
