Highly recommended.
Lots for the kids to do, a huge sandpit, a jumping castle, they sometimes have water slides and there are a few swings and jungle gyms. Mainly though, there is lots of SPACE for the kids to run around in.
The menu is quite small, but healthy, light and tasty, with one or two more serious options. The wine list is more than adequate and the service is friendly.
My wife and I sometimes spend a nice afternoon there, with a cold bottle of Chardonnay, and no worries.
We also had my daughter's birthday party there (her first, so basically an excuse for the parents and their friends to get together) and it worked well. They had no problem in catering for about 30 adults and 15 monsters.

Four generations of my family went to River Cafe last Sunday. I picked up the idea from Jozikids and was not in the least disappointed. The kids had a fabulous time, running with safe abandon, from the jumping castle to the swings to the jungle gym and back again. But the highlight for me was the food: the pasta with pesto was absolutely fabulous - my only complaint was that the helpings were not bigger! Some in our crowd had the Schnitzel and they were more than happy. Aunty Jeanette (84 years old) had good old bacon and eggs, and for once, no complaints! The selection of cakes to round off the meal was very impressive - I eventually settled on the chocolate cake and had the misfortune of having to share it with my mother, who hovered over me menacingly.
So the food was superb, the service warm and friendly, and the location ideal for a long lingering Sunday lunch. Thank you Jozikids for pointing us in the right direction.

Definitely like being in the country and when you're playing volleyball or in the sandpit its like being on the beach. A wonderful day outing for multi-age families with so much to do for everyone from cycling to volleyball to walking in the park with a secure playground for the little ones. And the food is delicious. Highly recommended.
