Rivervale

Rivervale on Oak Street in Lechlade is a small Chinese restaurant and takeaway in the upper Thames market town where the river becomes navigable. Lechlade is the highest point that wide-beam barges can reach on the Thames, giving the town a character shaped by river tourism and the Cotswold Water Park nearby. Rivervale accommodates up to sixteen diners alongside its takeaway counter, making it one of the few true dine-in Chinese options in the rural GL7 catchment. Reviewers describe the sweet and sour pork balls and beef chow mein as standouts, with generous portions and notably fresh ingredients. The 4.2-from-312-reviews average reflects a loyal local following from Lechlade and surrounding villages including Fairford, Kempsford and Southrop.
