Nestled into the cliffs at the side of the water, Riverside Cafe is an independent, family-run venue dedicated to producing, traditional fresh breakfast and lunch dishes.
We are passionate about providing fresh cooked to order dishes and are delighted to offer an extensive selection of gluten-free choices, with most of our menu available gluten-free at no additional charge.
To highlight the very best seasonal produce, as well as our menu we have daily specials available and our menus adapt throughout the year.
Please inform our team of any dietary preferences or allergen requirements before ordering so we can cater to you perfectly.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.

"Came with a friend today for something to eat after getting off the train. The food was absolutely lovely and highly recommended if in or visiting Knaresborough."
"Stopped for breakfast to break up a long dog walk. Lovely situation and friendly efficient service. The full English was delicious with quality ingredients and presentation. Highly recommended. Thank you"
"A lovely spot near the river. Friendly, accommodating staff. Lots of outside seating and our food arrived quickly and was generous and hot. The cafe by the river gets the queues, but for the sake of 10 more steps, this cafe is worth going to instead."
