Laid-back, lively, and led by flavour.

Riley’s is the latest project from chef Billy Fisher- an ingredient-led, Mediterranean-inspired kitchen now in residence at The Black Eel. Expect confident, seasonal cooking that hits the spot, with a menu built around bold flavours and comforting plates.

Small dishes like fried new potatoes with mayo, grilled courgette with feta and chilli, or marinated tomatoes with goats curd lead into mains like pork ribs with hot honey, braised chuck with flatbread and oregano, or a proper cheeseburger with mustard onions. Desserts include a rich chocolate torte, Basque cheesecake with toffee sauce, and a winter Eton Mess.
Sundays bring roasts to the table-roast pork belly, beef sirloin, or celeriac with hazelnut crumb- served alongside our full à la carte menu. No need to choose between the classics and the rest.
