Our Story
Welcome to The River Garden, Waltham Abbey’s riverside retreat where nature, flavour, and community come together. Nestled along the River Lea, our restaurant is powered by our own small organic farm, ensuring every dish is fresh, wholesome, and locally sourced. From sunrise breakfasts to leisurely brunches, each plate celebrates simple, honest ingredients — including eggs that travel just yards from our chickens to your table. Whether you’re here for a relaxing meal, a family gathering, or one of our vibrant weekend events, The River Garden offers a true farm-to-table experience you’ll remember long after your visit.
