The Sunday roast beef was excellent. A good portion of tender beef and a good selection of vegetables. Loved the Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes too. Service was friendly and efficiently fast.

We really enjoyed our meals at the Waterside, the food was so fresh & delicious. There were plenty of gluten free options & the staff were knowledgeable about the food on offer. The staff were wonderful, friendly and efficient.

Very warm cozy atmosphere are the bar where we sat before dinner. Had the fishcakes as a starter. Wonderfully done; the sea bass as the main: excellent, moist and tasty; roast beef, maybe a little on the medium side but we didn't specify we like it rare-quite confident it would have been rare if we had asked- still very tasty. Service outstanding; friendly atmosphere. We'll be back next time we visit.

Thanks. Had a lovely time as always and loved the food and felt really welcome by everyone. The atmosphere is really nice, cozy and warm, perfect for an autumnal evening. There were enough vegan options on the menu so we're happy about that. We'd love more vegan options as starters if you ever fancied that. In any case, looking forward to visiting you again!

We’ve been in the restaurant many times and the food’s been always outstanding however it’s not been the case today. Chilli coconut soup too salty, the fish main course salty and the ballotine of chicken dry. Seems like a big drop in food quality? Do you have new cook?

Food on this occasion was more variable in quality than previously. I had sea bass, very well cooked, accompanied by very hard potatoes, some even darker and harder than others. Cooking on previous occasions has always been good so I hope this was a one-off rather than a trend.
