Shop The River Cafe: May Menu
In Italy, menus change with the seasons. And the same is true at Shop The River Cafe.
As we settle into spring, we are offering a collection of dishes, prepared in our kitchen, and available for next-day delivery within London.
There are Scottish langoustines, and thinly sliced Culatello di Zibello from Emilia Romagna—broad beans and fine green beans. Whole Dover Sole and a tranche of turbot.
Have a look at our entire menu and take your pick. All dishes are designed to serve two.
Spring is here.
