Jamie Oliver's career was kickstarted by his time at the River Café, and the restaurant demonstrated the versatility and appeal of wood fired ovens in restaurants. The River Café's Professional GR 140 forms the focal point of the dining room and is used for all sorts of dishes throughout the menu.
""Our wood oven is the focus of our cooking at the River Cafe. We use it every day - for meats, fish, roasting vegetables - even our lemon tart!""
