   Relax, Eat, & Enjoy by the river at the River Cafe.

   Unique to Rye, the River café offers a fully licensed 165 foot decked area on the edge of the River Tillingham, in the Strand, central Rye.

   The Café is a completely new concept for Rye, &, as with all things new, there was as much controversy as there was excitement. Finally, after almost two years of continued belief in a dream, we have arrived.

   We have created a bohemian meeting place that will both inspire & relax, whilst offering high quality food at affordable prices in a unique & informal location.

   The brilliant combination of John Harper, of the ‘Harpers’ Acoustic & Music Club in Hastings, & also the original ‘Little Johnny’ of Fanny Craddock television fame; Gloria & David Satterfield former owners of ‘Rumples of Peasmarsh’ & TV catering duo ‘Bourne to Cook’; & last, in fact no doubt least, Allison Riches, the creator of the River Café & film location promoter, together form the driving force behind the River Café.

   Look out for our forthcoming events & themed evenings which will be weekly, such as our season of ‘Food Theatre’, starting with:
   ‘An Evening With Fanny’
   followed by:
   ‘I Once Did It With The Galloping Gourmet’,
   & finally, the equally hilarious
   ‘Who’d Eat In An Outfit Like That’
   based on a true life depiction of one of Lloyd Grossman’s’ earlier relationships.

   The opening times are as follows:
   Thursday noon through till early evening Sunday (open all day)

   Thursday nights – themed 3 course dinner & entertainment £9.99

   Friday & Saturday nights- full A La Carte menu

   Thursday & Friday Day – A la Carte, all day breakfast & light bites

   Saturday &Sunday (9am onwards) are our Lazy Brunch days with the papers, endless coffee, all day Canadian, English & Scandinavian Breakfasts, with light bites Sat & on Sundays we rustle up our delicious endless roasts – £7.99 for as much as you can eat!
   In fact, why not bring your laptop & take advantage of Free internet access?

   We are available for private & corporate hire during the week for bookings of 10 or more, & can offer a tailor made menu to suit your budget. (short notice is not a problem)

   As well as displaying local artists work within the Café, starting on Saturday’s we are providing colourful stalls along the decked area, under our marquee, offering a chance for local crafts & arts people to display their wares pre Xmas. (contact us creative people !)
   **Book now for our hugely popular Beaujolais Nouveau Night 16th November **
   Hosted by Johnny Harper portraying himself in ‘who’s ‘ad mi onions?’ inc.a set dinner for £9.99

   Allison Riches,

   I have been trying to contact John Harper for some time now. Is he still at the River Cafe, or has he moved on? If you do know of his whereabouts, please give him my email address: [reveal email]

   Many thanks,
