The Waterside Bistro

Great location and friendly, efficient service. Lovely way to spend the evening.

Lovely meal in a lovely restaurant. Well worth it and will return

Took advantage of the Sunday lunch special, loved the roast beef and some of the items from the main menu. Would definitely come back!

Very good evening with excellent food and atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant.

My husband and I were meeting a friend for lunch.. we all had 2 starters each.. the smoked haddock soup was good..the lamb terrine was ok.. and the haggis fritters good.. the waiting staff were very attentive and overall we had a lovely lunch..

We had a great night, delicious food and good atmosphere

I came for thw sunday roast on sunday just past to celebrate my parents birthdays. While the food was good quality and mostly tasty it wasn't great. All four of us had the Sunday roast, when it arrived hough there wasn't much heat in the vegetables, the beef and the potatoes. The yorkshire puddings despite being burnt they too didn't have much heat in them. As I said the quality of food was good and the price was very reasonably but just not overly impressed as we have all been before and know the food is usually of a higher standard. Thanks Robbie

It was my 30th birthday celebration, and service was really good and food was delicious! Thank you

Super attentive service all evening from the Waterside Bistro waitstaff.

Enjoyed a burger with salad and chips tonight. Lovely. Beautiful location.

The food is amazing and so is the service, they make you feel very welcome.

Food was brilliant. Well presented and delicious. We were shocked at the end of the meal as the bill was much lower than we thought it would be. Highly recommend the house red too

Superbe, accueil, excellent repas,viande top top ,et le reste vraiment très bon dau millieu d un cadre magnifique,une adresse à recommander

Très bel endroit, très typique et nourriture excellente, le personnel est serviable et souriant à conseiller

Great welcome, bistro was busy but the welcome was first class. Pity the table was "sticky", it needed a clean, side plates were virtually welded to the table. Very busy menu, a bit too much, would be better making menu larger or the wording typed rather than hand written look. Lots of gluten free dishes, or options but only one gluten free beer on draught, an IPA no other option, not even bottled. The food itself was very good, service was excellent only a bit pricey for what we had. Chicken salad £22 and half fish and chips £15, although portion of peas could have had a knob of butter at least. Lovely establishment, really busy, service good. Would not take a lot to make it excellent.

The staff were kind and amazing and we all loved the food thank you very much

Friendly staff, excellent food, enjoyable atmosphere. Will go again when next in the area

We had a lunch in The Waterside Bistro and we can't be happier. The food was amazing as always. Really like the atmosphere of this place, the menu options. Overall the whole experience was super,we definitely would come back sometime. Thank you

Lovely ambience and setting. Great service. Thank you very much

Well looked after by the staff, food was excellent, as usual.

My husband and I haven’t had time to go out together in months!! Our meal and time at the waterside was just what we were needing!! The staff from the moment we arrived were wonderful and the food was Devine. We cannot wait to return!!

The above says if all ! Would certainly recommend going.

Great food, service and a wonderful location. Would recommend to anyone.

Great all round. Good food. Service excellent. A lovely sunny day.

super food and a really nice waiter even when we turned up with one too many and had trouble parking he was very understanding. was great!

Absolutely super food and lovely staff. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Very good service. Food was lovely. Location fantastic, sat outside in the warm sunshine.

Great atmosphere and lovely friendly staff, excellent service, but unfortunately our food was very average and fish dry and overcooked.

Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere in a lovely riverside setting. The food was great! Highly recommend the steak and the burger.

We had a delicious meal and drinks at this beautiful setting by the river on a sunny day with welcoming, friendly, efficient staff and local produce.

Visited the Waterside for a family meal. Food was lovely, great atmosphere & great service.

Warm and efficient welcome to this lovely bistro. Our food arrived extremely quickly after ordering, which I always find a little suspicious. My partner's fish, though beautifully presented, was slightly overcooked, mine was ok. Not enough to complain about, but we'd be choosing something different next time. My dessert was superb (lemon posset). Very loud music which meant people were having to speak very loudly to be heard. That was somewhat oppressive. That said, we'd definitely revisit.

Excellent service, delicious food and a lovely setting and atmosphere.

Lovely afternoon lunch in a charming seting with superb service. Thankyou!

Had to change timing of sitting which was no problem for the staff who were friendly throughout our visit good choice of food wine and beers very busy inside and out food was very good had a lamb terrine and lamb dinner wine and a beer not a cheap place but well worth a visit nice surrounding outside calm and quiet

Lovely lunch with friends. Service polite and friendly. An excellent menu to choose from so we’ll definitely be returning.

Lovely location. The food was very tasty and the staff friendly and helpful. An extensive menu and specials as well. We will definitely be back

Staff were really attentive and polite. Food was delicious and hot when it arrived at the table. We had the Sunday roast…..had the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake……it was the best I’ve had. Certainly be returning 😊

Lovely menu with excellent choices and specials board. Attentive staff from start to finish

Food was delightful - I had beef which was beautifully cooked and my husband said the same about his lamb. Lovely cosy atmosphere in the bar area and the staff were friendly and helpful without being over the top.

Always a good experience. Great food and great service. Friendly atmosphere

I have visited before and everything has been good but on this occasion there was a couple of things wrong. The fish cakes were terribly salted, and the chips were awful, they came with the skin on and I'm sure they had been reheated. 3 out of 4 never eat the chips I will revisit but I'll certainly not be having the fish cakes or chips

Outstanding service from telephone contact regarding the booking process to the lunch on the day. We arrived early and chose to eat outside - the waiting staff were totally flexible and so very pleasant. The food was delicious and definitely value for money. We will be back! x

Last minute booking Sunday lunch. Warm welcome, lovely table overlooking Tyne. Food was very good, flavoursome, well presented, great value

Booked as a birthday lunch. Food, service, and overall experience were wonderful, and the restaurant made it extra special by giving us a table by the window and a surprise birthday candle with my dessert. Many thanks for a lovely birthday celebration meal!

Despite the upmarket appeal, the lovely waterside views, and the professional staff the food was sadly very unremarkable. It all looks great on paper but the key aspect to all food is how well the food is cooked and sadly this misses the mark. The chicken Goujons were overdone with burnt ends and a tough center. Whereas the salad and couscous were excellent. The breaded fish looked lovely and tasted okay, and came with a side of just straight up boiled peas and some basic thick cut chips that were unfortunately overcooked with some burnt chips. If we had these meals within your everyday pub then we would have been fine with it, but because this is an upmarket restaurant with dish prices nearly doubled that of your everyday restaurants I would have expected the food to be exceptional... Instead they were just overpriced beautifully-presented but overcooked disappointments. Might return for drinks but not food.

Good ambience, good service, reasonable value, friendly team, menu varied

We had a lovely meal in pleasant surroundings. We were given a window table looking out on the river.

Great food and service. Just wish we had a place like this on our own doorstep.

This was our first time visiting the Waterside Bistro. The food was excellent! Lovely atmosphere and location.
