Woodbridge Cinema – a unique experience
The Woodbridge Cinema, ‘The Riverside’ is a unique combination of movies and food, just a five-minute walk from Twee Gebroeders, our romantic Holiday Barge by the Tidemill in Woodbridge, and only a 25-minute drive from Onderneming in Pin Mill.
As the name suggests, the Riverside Woodbridge Cinema, sits just a stone’s throw from the River Deben, right next to Woodbridge Station. This is genuinely a unique offering, with superb food served in their restaurant and bar, as well as a large patio area for Al Fresco dining, then a quaint independent cinema and theatre.
The Woodbridge Cinema, ‘The Riverside’ features in the ‘Which’ Good Food Guide, as well as having a Michelin listing and “highly recommended” by the Financial Times! Their pasta and bread are always freshly made by their chefs and they source as much fresh, local produce as they can. The Riverside Restaurant serves amazing lunches, candlelit dinners and has a range of innovative menus that can be sampled when simply out for a meal, or combined with a trip to the theatre or cinema.
There’s such a range of menu ideas to choose from.
Light lunch – Monday-Saturday available in the daytimes, serving such dishes as goat’s cheese, parma ham and artichoke salad, crispy duck pancakes, hoisin sauce, spring onion and cucumber, and pilsner battered haddock, chips, peas with tartare sauce.
A La Carte – available Monday-Saturday evenings and Sunday lunchtimes (with the addition of two traditional Sunday roast choices.
Tapas and Film – with such dishes as homemade bread and olive oil, Greek olives, feta, tapenade, guacamole, hummus, mini fish, chips, and tartare sauce, garlic & herb tiger prawns and much more!
Dinner and Film – a wonderful three-course meal and your cinema ticket for £35 (2017).
Fish & Flicks – where you’ll have a choice of three fish dishes (always includes their beer battered haddock and chips) also includes a matinee or evening film ticket.
Pudding Menu – a mouthwatering range such as sticky toffee pudding, banana ice cream, raspberry creme brulee, coconut biscuit, pistachio & almond cake, poached pear, creme fraiche and dark chocolate and vanilla cheesecake, passionfruit reduction.
This Woodbridge cinema feels very ‘Victorian’ and is such a wonderful change from the huge multi-plexes that we are used to nowadays. There’s a lovely little box office and the usual popcorn and sweets available. And even the tickets feel so much nicer than the ones we normally get!
