Part of the kitchen is just visible through the serving hatch behind the counter where Ann is ordering.		 The serving counter
Looking in the Bournemouth direction: the entrance from the car park is on the Left and an entrance from 'The Broadway' road is on the Right.
Head end
Seen here on the Left, looking in the Head direction, is yet another entrance which is from the Noddy train area.

When the weather gets brighter & warmer I will add pictures of the outside!

Café Riva
Boscombe Overcliff Drive (Fishermans Walk).
Café Riva
The café is situated just above the Cliff lift at Fishermans Walk
providing fantastic views from East to West.

Easterly view
This is the view to the East, from the Cliff Lift entrance, at the top of the 'zig zag' path to the beach. The beach can be seen stretching all the way to Hengistbury Head and The Isle of Wight is visible through the mist on the horizon.		 Ann
Here's Ann taking in the view whilst waiting for our breakfast.

These pictures were taken on 27th July 2006 (after I had cleaned the greasy smear off the lens!).

30/01/08: Changes are being made inside (while the café remains open). I will take pictures when it has finished.
