The Rivers Restaurant and Bar

Great pub, it has the best cob loaf. Great to put on the table and share. It has a an old English feel to it, great place to catch up with your friends.

Great dish presentation, nice atmosphere and friendly service.

Love the pasta dish here! Kids love going here too

Generous portions. Nice location. Had a dinner here. Service was slow since there were a few big groups but all waitresses and staff worked very hard, especially the girl working at the bar, busy but always with beautiful smiles. If you stay in Gisborne for one night. Here is your best bet for dinner.

The four of us sat in the open windows enjoying the view of the river for lunch.
Bangers and Mash a hit, as was the chicken and bacon salad. We ladies enjoyed the pulled pork sliders washed down with Apple Cider from Harvest. Local cidery in town. We booked a table for 2 by a window on a very busy Friday night with many large groups. Service and food were good. This is a pub restaurant so expectations were not high but in hindsight we should have booked a smaller quieter place as we were celebrating a wedding anniversary.
