CDJ Riverside’s interior blends its historic roots with modern design, firmly positioning it in the 21st century. Preserving many of the original exterior elements, like the large windows and the meticulous stone and brickwork, our venue exudes an authentic charm.
Central to the design is the magnificent dining bar, a striking feature that blends luxury and functionality. Enhanced with natural stone, the bar serves as a focal point, creating an inviting atmosphere for memorable dining experiences. These lamps, with copper hand-made shades, cast a warm and enchanting glow, adding to the restaurant’s ambiance.
They’ve taken great care in restoring external brick-work and stone facings, ensuring that every aspect of the building retains its natural charm and historical significance. The interior is complemented by natural materials such as slate, stone and oak. The woodwork, furnishings and hand-made lighting, exudes an air of understated elegance, making it an exceptional dining venue and entertainment space.
