The Riverside is a stunning Chef & Brewer pub restaurant that offers rooms and a lovely location on the River Trent. Found in the village of Branston on the outskirts of Burton-on-Trent, our countryside pub is perched right on the water's edge with incredible views across the river from our beer garden. Originally built in 1851, our family-friendly pub now has modern facilities including an EV cha

💍✨ We're still not over it... ✨💍

What an incredible day celebrating the wedding of Anna & Dave here at The Riverside on 30th May 💚

From sparklers lighting up the riverside at sunset ✨ to Colin & Connie the Caterpillar making a surprise appearance, this wedding was packed full of personality, laughter and unforgettable moments!

We have to give a special shout-out to the spectacular cheese tower 🧀 and perhaps one of the most unique (and hilarious!) first dances we've ever had the pleasure of witnessing 💃🕺

Thank you for choosing The Riverside to be part of your special day. We wish you a lifetime of happiness together 💕
