River Green is a fully plant based restaurant on The Street in Trowse Newton, just outside Norwich. Serving the area since 2011, it offers thoughtful food in a casual setting overlooking the village green and welcomes vegans, vegetarians and curious meat eaters alike.
The kitchen avoids meat substitutes, instead building dishes from vegetables, seeds, pulses, grains and flours. Locally grown, seasonal and organic ingredients are prioritised where possible, and cooking takes inspiration from cuisines around the world rather than following one narrow tradition.
Dishes are made in house and designed around honesty to the produce rather than decorative formality. Ingredients without gluten are preferred across many sauces, grains and flours, and the menu also includes choices for guests avoiding nuts or soy, though individual requirements should be discussed before ordering.
Organic wine, local beer and cider accompany the food, while a cookery school element helps share the restaurant’s experience with home cooks. The accessible dining room, relaxed service and welcome for well behaved dogs give River Green a distinctly personal village character.
