The Riverview Shops are ideally placed. If you are a parent they are right next to the enclosed Marjorie York Park, or you pass by them on the way to St Ignatius College. As a neighbourhood satellite shopping centre, they have everything you need – coffee, chemist, doctors, podiatrist, chiropractor, hairdresser and butcher.
Riverview shops are located on Tambourine Bay Road Riverview. The Riverview Shops are also known as York’s Corner. According to Margaret Snodgrass, Director of Forsyth Real Estate, Marjorie’s husband, Mr York was one of the earliest volunteers to enlist in World War I and was at the Landing at Gallipoli. He survived the war and decided to buy land in the bush (Riverview) to open a grocery store. Marjorie York worked in the grocery store until she was 70 years old. Margaret Snodgrass attended Marjorie’s 100th Birthday Party. Unfortunately Marjorie sadly passed away just days after the celebration. Marjorie was an integral part of the Riverview community and was a “delightful character”.
Riverview Deli
The Riverview Deli is like Cheers, it’s the place where everyone knows your name. When you walk in Tony will say hello to you by name. As the sign says – it’s the last coffee shop before St Ignatius College. However, Riverview Deli is more than a coffee shop. It really is like your old fashioned milk bar where you can get a bit of everything. There are gourmet delights, sandwiches, snacks, ice creams, bread, milk and the papers. They stock cupcakes from The Little Cupcake company and plenty of other sweet treats to tempt you. On the coffee rating index, they do a great coffee. On a really really hot day, a chocolate milk shake from Riverview Deli is the way to go.
Riverview Butcher
We now have another independent butcher in Lane Cove! Ray has set up shop in the Riverview Shops (also known as York’s Corner).
You will notice a big difference when you walk into the Riverview Butcher. The shop has been given a makeover and its light and bright and the counter is lower so it’s easier to talk to Ray and his staff.
Who is Ray the Riverview Butcher?
Raymond Price is a second-generation butcher, from a family that managed Homebush Abattoir. He started his apprenticeship in North Sydney at the age of 16. Spending five years under the watchful eye of master butcher Neil Aryes.
After two years’ experience as a supervisor for Primo Smallgoods, Raymond started his first retail shop, Ray the Butcher at Crows Nest in 2003. By 2005 he had won the Best Retail Butcher in the Lower North Shore. With the business growing a second location was added, opening Ray the Butcher Kirribilli/Milson’s Point.
Ray was one of the first retailers to sell Wagyu Beef in Australia.
Ray loved Kirribilli and Milson’s Point and had some dedicated customers, however the demographics in Kirribilli and Milson’s Point started to change. With the advent of AirBnB many downsizers would rent out their properties and travel or go to their holiday home. AirBnB renters are more au fait with Ubereats. When Ray’s lease came up for renewal he thought it was a good time to look at some other options in the meat industry.
Ray worked in meat wholesaling for a couple of years, visiting nearly every butcher in Sydney. This gave Ray an opportunity to see the best butchers around and that inspired him to get back into retail and put some of their best ideas into practice.
Twenty Snag Flavours
If you love a BBQ, you will be pleased to know that Ray has twenty different snag flavours you can choose from.
Forty Meals in Forty Minutes
Ray knows that we all live busy lives and convenience is key. He has a repertoire of forty meals you can make in forty minutes. He has them on rotation but if you like a particular meal just let him know. ITC tried the Moroccan Lamb meal and it was very easy to make.
