About this menu

RIVA is a bar on Riverside in Stafford, serving food from small plates through to fuller mains and desserts. Starters and small plates include cod goujons and lamb koftas, while the mains take in classic fish & chips and chicken tikka masala. Sides such as hand cut chips sit alongside a build your own burger section, a lunch menu and jacket potato choices.

For a smaller meal, the starters and small plates or the jacket potato section are worth a look on their own. Anyone wanting a full plate can turn to the mains or the build your own burger section, where classic beef is among the options. The lunch menu brings together mains such as classic fish & chips and chicken tikka masala for a daytime visit, and sides like hand cut chips can be added alongside. Those finishing with something sweet can look through the desserts.
