BEM Award for the Riverside

Jan and Arthur Watson, co-owners of The Riverside Restaurant, were surprised and thrilled to both be awarded a British Empire Medal in the 2015 Queen’s Birthday Honours list for services to the Hospitality Industry in the South West.

They see it as an award not only for themselves but for all the wonderful staff who have worked at the Riverside over the years and particularly the present team led by the Managers Neil Chilcott and Sue Turner.

They would like to thank the unknown people who put their names forward.
