The staff at Cafe Riva are constantly working to ensure that the catering supplied by us to Offices or Private Homes is of an exceptional high quality.
Our preparation for deliveries over the next week is no different.
St. Valentine’s Day is on Sunday and let’s face it this year none of us will have the option of booking our favourite restaurant so we will all be dining at home. To make the occasion extra special why not let Café Riva prepare that romantic meal for you.
Create your own meal for two from the menu here and contact us to request a quote. We will have the meal kit delivered to your home at an agreed time. A little work is required in some very light cooking/reheating, assembly and plating but the chefs at Café Riva aim to keep this to a minimum so the time is left for you and your partner to enjoy the evening.
This year two days after St Valentine’s Day is Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Tuesday) which is always the day that precedes Ash Wednesday or the start of Lent. Pancake Day came about as a day when all rich/fatty foods had to be used up before the start of the 40 days of fasting.
People throughout the country will stock up on flour, eggs and milk and brighten up some lockdown hours preparing the customary pancakes.
There are several different types of pancakes but in Café Riva we usually supply either thin crêpe type pancakes or the thicker American style Buttermilk Pancakes. Whatever type you prefer there is a wide variety of both sweet and savoury fillings/toppings you can choose from. They make a perfect breakfast dish or a delicious dessert.
Sweet Toppings/Fillings:
Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice and Sugar
Blueberries & Yoghurt
Bananas & Chocolate Sauce
