Welcome to Riptide: Our story
Discover the journey of Riptide, from our humble beginnings to becoming your favourite beach-themed bar and grill. Learn about our unique features, our commitment to welcoming everyone, and what we hope you experience with every visit.
From cowshed to Riptide: Our transformation
Our story began as "The Cow Shed Bar and Grill," a name that truly reflected its origins as, well, a cowshed! During the challenging times of COVID, we realised it was time for a fresh start. We envisioned a vibrant, new space and underwent a complete transformation, emerging as Riptide – a modern, beach-themed bar and grill designed for everyone to enjoy.
More than just food: Our unique atmosphere
Beyond our delicious food and drinks, Riptide offers an experience like no other. Step into our lovely beer garden, where children can enjoy the inground trampoline, and everyone can meet our friendly pet alpacas, pigs, sheep, and goats. We're a dog and child-friendly establishment, ensuring a welcoming environment for the whole family.
Our values: Welcoming everyone
At Riptide, we believe in creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who walks through our doors. In the main season, our beer garden comes alive with live bands on Saturday evenings, adding to the vibrant community spirit. We're committed to sourcing locally where possible, ensuring fresh, quality ingredients in every dish we serve.
"We hope you enjoy our food and friendly staff and leave wanting to come back again and again."
