The historic brewing town of Burton-upon-Trent is home to an elegant country hotel, bar and restaurant called The Riverside, originally a farmhouse but now carefully refurbished into a charming retreat by the banks of the River Trent.

The hotel has its own private island, coarse fishing rights and moorings and offers views of the surrounding countryside, so rest assured you'll enjoy a great break with warm hospitality, comfortable accommodation and delicious food.

The Garden Room Bar and Restaurant is a popular destination to sample a wide selection of modern and traditional British favourites. Winter warmers of homemade Irish drunken beef stew served with seasonal vegetables and a horseradish and chive mash or West Country whitebait fillets and Scottish whole tail scampi could be preceded by starters of shredded aromatic Hoisin duck salad with cucumber and crispy tortilla croutons, and followed by a trio of classic hot puddings: sticky toffee, spotted dick and chocolate, served with custard.

Real ale, carefully selected wines, teas and coffees complement the food.
