Lovely warm welcome on arrival, great table, service and food! The added bonus is being able to sit outside for drinks after lunch on a sunny day, felt like being abroad overlooking the River Tyne! Will be coming back again soon. Loved it!

Good food, a warm welcome and extremely hospitable staff. It’s always a pleasure to visit The Waterside and today was no exception. Service is seamless: a great deal of thought has been put into producing the level of teamwork so clearly on display.Our dogs are always made welcome and that really means a lot to us. Thank you!

Excellent service; very friendly and efficient staff. Lovely location. Very helpfully cater for vegans - the stir-fry could have been a little more exciting with maybe a bit of tofu, or cashews, or some other protein element, but overall we really enjoyed it and plan to return.

Really lovely evening - the food was good - we went just for a single course but the menu was so appetising that we ended up having three. The service was outstanding - so friendly and considerate. Even the dog was allowed in and got his own water and biscuit!

I understand about social distancing but was unimpressed with being given a table in the corner of the bar. Drunks coming and going and general bar noise made it a very uncomfortable meal. Further it was freezing cold. My glass had lipstick stains on it so much for ‘clean’ environment. Food was no better than mediocre which is a shame last time (31/8) we had a nice and cosy meal. We won’t be going back which is a shame. If they are sticking people in the bar area they should have the courtesy to advise ahead of arrival.

We really enjoyed everything about our lunch at the Waterside Inn. Starting from the gorgeous view of the river and Nungate bridge - we were sitting outside enjoying a sunny afternoon. They understand good service and generosity here. Excellent house specials, chicken confit and roasted salmon. And the chocolate & cherry brownie with cherry ice cream & roasted nut - so indulgent and yummy. And they know how to make a properly brewed cup of tea - which naturally comes with delicious tablet. Looking forward to visiting again.
