At Riva we pride ourselves on offering our customers fine modern Mediterranean cuisine served to you in a relaxing atmosphere. Situated directly over the River Thames on the oldest surviving cast iron pier in the world the panoramic views are as breath taking as the cuisine itself.

Riva’s newly refurbished bar is a fabulous addition to the restaurant serving an extensive range of stylish cocktails, wide range of Champagnes, wines by the glass and appetizing nibbles.

Located in the heart of Gravesend's Heritage Quarter, Riva is the perfect destination for that special occasion. Come have a meal, drink some wine and relax. Have a conversation with friends, colleagues and family while you enjoy a calm pleasant surrounding taking you back to 1834.

Whatever the occasion… From breakfast meetings, luncheons to gatherings of family & friends we have "that perfect place", offering an A La Carte and set menus as well as simple bar snacks, canapés, buffets and private lunch or dinner parties.
