There’s something pretty special about harvesting your own homegrown fruit 😊
I started my raspberry patch at home with a few cuttings 3 years ago and this year is the first decent flush of fruit and they’re coming on strong!
Growing raspberries is a labour of love but so worth it! Spray free, packed full of antioxidants and utterly delicious! 😋

It’s that time of year again, we’re on the hunt for lemons.

Bring your lemons into Riverstone Kitchen and we’ll trade them for vouchers/coffee/cake to the value of $5kg.

No cash and no need to get in touch beforehand. Just drop them in to Riverstone.

Thanks for helping us make the most of lemon season. Happy holidays everyone!

📣 WINTER HOURS 📣

Riverstone will be taking a break from our regular FRI & SAT DINNER SERVICE over the winter months and early spring as this is traditionally the quietest time for us due to the weather conditions.
It is also the busiest time for our local farmers as they gear up for spring and calving/ lambing! So, for the next couple of months we are going to give our team a break to recharge at home with their families on the evenings before the long run into summer.
We will still open for dinner service for PRIVATE GROUP bookings and SPECIAL EVENTS so watch this space as we release other dates in addition to our sell out WINTER FEASTS, or get in touch if you have an event we can help with. Our regular 7 day, day service remains unchanged 😊
So to clarify, from tonight June 27th we are closed for dinner service and takeaways.

Cheers Bevan and the Riverstone team 😊😊
