Your Local: The Riverside
The Reader: Sarah Hudson, Design Technology Teacher (Secondary School), Rotherham. Why is this ‘Your Local’?: “The artwork is a real draw to the venue for me and adds to the atmosphere and vibe of the place. You always find a nice mix of people which means you’re guaranteed a good time on every visit.” Favourite tipple: Sarah enjoys cider of all varieties and most importantly a choice. The Riverside always hits the spot - offering real cider on hand pull, Swedish brand Rekorderlig on draught and numerous bottle varieties. They often hold cider festivals throughout the year, though mainly in the summer with up to 35 styles of perries and ciders. The Local: As you cross over the River Don walking through Kelham Island towards Mowbray Street a remarkable black and white painting by artist Phlegm dominates the exterior wall of this tavern welcoming you to navigate inside past the giant squids.
