The Waterside Bistro

Lovely old building in a nice location by the river. Service was very friendly and efficient. Food was delicious, some different choices of starters and mains as well as pub usuals. Not cheap but worth it for the quality of food.

Lovely restaurant and very friendly and attentive staff - food lovely too

Our group enjoyed the meal, food was good, service was attentive, pacing was just right for a lightly constrained timing. A little pricey perhaps, but you get what you pay for.

Absolutely exceptional food, a wonderful location inside and out, great service.

Beautiful setting and superb service with a very superior menu.

We are local to the area and love The Waterside. The setting is just beautiful and as always the service and food was fabulous. Fresh, hot and a great portion size. Many additional specials too.

We had a lovely afternoon. Food was excellent and the venue was warm and cosy. Only one small thing, after we had our meal we weren’t asked if we would like anything else - desserts, tea/coffee. I had to go to the bar to ask some time later and also had to ask for the bill. A little more attentive and the whole experience would have been excellent.

I have been to The Waterside Bistro many times before for lunch. I have always found the food, service and staff excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending the restaurant to any of my friends. I look forward to going back again in the very near future.

Friendly, fulsome and fabulous! Guaranteed a return very soon. Thank you.

Fantastic welcome, Great service, superb food and great atmosphere. What a lovely evening, thanks all😍

We enjoyed the chicken & chorizo ballotine, the bone marrow burger and the dill herring with potato salad. The soup of the day was also delicious. Three of us dined and all enjoyed the food. No complaints.

Fantastic salmon en croute - excellent service and fireside table.

We had a lovely lunch , very well looked after.

Delicious food and great service. Would highly recommend a night here.

Excellent menu with creative and unusual dishes which we thoroughly enjoyed. The service is very professional and friendly.

Love food, lovely setting, ambiance delightful. Have been many times and will continue.

The bistro is our favourite place to go! Never a bad meal, staff are always so lovely

Great feel and service and food despite it being full

A warm welcome as always, relaxed atmosphere and great food.

Lovely relaxed lunch with fab food. Couldn’t really fault anything.

Delightful service. Super environment. Honest food. Great location. I’m pleased I went.

Fantastic service from the staff and the food was extremely good. Thank you.

Very attentive staff, though not intrusive. Great vibe about the place, and the food was excellent. Roasted cod loin was superb!

Absolutely delicious meal, as always, with good variety of choices. Great service from friendly welcoming staff. Lovely ambience. Would highly recommend.

Evrything good, but the toilet needs attention (crooked seat, toilet roll slides off wonky holder)

Great service, beautiful venue and the food was excellent. Would highly recommend

Lovely venue and food good . Some more vegetarian choices would be good

Very nice restaurant good service and good service I would go back

Staff were excellent, very attentive. I was expecting great things however we both felt the food was average. Decor/furnishings felt very tired. Not a bad experience but we won’t be rushing back.

First time here and will definitely be back! Menu choice was good and food was amazing! Well cooked and delicious. Staff were friendly A great first experience ! Well done!

Excellent all round thanks so much for a wonderful night

Excellent food and service. Plenty of choice for adults and kids can get smaller version of adult meal which was good.

Lovely meal with a lovely atmosphere - as always. Service was a bit slower than normal but we weren't in a hurry so it didn't cause any issues

Had a lovely lunch for my husbands birthday, food was excellent and staff very attentive

Crispy pork belly was good but not crispy as it said on the menu.roast sirloin of beef on Sunday was tough and chewy and the gravy was far too salty.

Our party of 8 with a variety of tastes had a wonderful meal in the most pleasant atmosphere, cooked and served by the most efficient of cooks and table staff. Will certainly be back.

Lovely food staff and atmosphere Allowed time to relax and enjoy dining experience

Delicious!!! Tasty steak, cooked perfectly! Cocktails perfect. Good feel to the whole place

Our welcome was very warm as usual. The ambiance in the bar area was superb and the food itself was exceptional. The service was perfect. As an anniversary lunch we could not have asked for more. Thank you to James and the team.

Great food and wine in a beautiful setting, with excellent service. The Head Waiter recognised me even though it had neen a year since I was last there

High quality food served by polite and welcoming waiters. We were asked whether we would like our table candle to be lit - a small gesture that helps to make our experience more special.

Not our first visit. The setting beside the river and the old bridge is amazing. Lovely to have a pre-dinner drink on the terrace. As always, the staff were very friendly, obliging and efficient. A good menu. Food presentation was excellent. We'll certainly return next time we are in the the area. Overall, a very pleasant meal.

Very pleasant attentive and courteous staff. A very good visit.

Staff were really brilliant, great selection for gluten free. Menu was really good

Mixed; one meal was very good, equal to our high expectations. Sadly, the Risotto dish badly missed the mark on this occasion. I was offered a replacement meal, and we were not charged for the risotto. It was a bit disappointing though. We shall go back another time though, we have never been disappointed at this restaurant before.

It was fine. Service was great.,it was rather dark where we sat….there was a huge plant on tne windowsill blocking out the view over tne river…which seemed a shame on such a lovely sunny day. Wine was good. My pork loin was rather tough. I wish I had gone for tne fish like my friend did.

Food was really delicious, staff were very friendly and attentive. Beautiful setting and characterful restaurant with lovely candles. Top notch!

Great options for gluten-free, and generally a nice range of items on the menu. Really super place.

Great food and fast service which impressed our US guests

We had a splendid lunch of two starters each I had a herring & potato salad followed by fish cakes with salad & a glass of house white . My companion chose Beetroot & peanut salad and then chicken liver pate . All deliciously fresh & the substantial portions meant no room for pudding afterwards .
