Riversway meals a hit with regulars new patrons

At Riversway in Nahoon East London http://www.riversway.co.za/ , Dean puts together an array of home cooked meal options that often get the patrons back for more.
Some of his signature dishes include Lamb shanks , curries , a variety of perfectly done steaks with mouth watering sauces , roasts , braais and Potjie ( stews done in trditional pot on open fires for those not from SA) great chicken dishes and seafood platters all adorn the social dining area.

An evening in the dining area and bar can be great fun where many of our patron ( even a few qualified chefs amongst them ) will banter about dinners , and the correct way to prepare a certain dish and often even leads to guest participation in the process.

Many patrons now like family will suggest a meal ( like Trenchada ) or an extra spicy or chillie sauce , and this leads to Dean turning out yet another surprising dish that will invariably have everyone blown away.

During winter nights guests are often greeted by a warm smokey fire in the dining area and stories are swopped over a drink before dinner ( Usually at 7 pm each night) In summer a full guest list often warrants a fire and a braai in the courtyard or around the pool.

Many a great friendship has been formed and a now regular Riversway "family" of patrons now gather in the dining area and talk like old friends at a dinner party. Many of these regulars have stayed with us since our inception 16 years ago , and will not stay anywhere else.

So the recipe must be right , and all the ingredients must be in place that keep our Riversway family of patrons around our dinner table in a good melting pot full of friendship and loyal support . Riversway appreciates your loyal support that keep Dean cooking with passion and all at Riversway looking forward to our patrons valued return for another year in the Riversway family.

See you soon in the Riversway dining room . http://www.riversway.co.za/
