The Waterside Bistro

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.

Dish placed before me was not ordered, manager reduced price of bill

Wonderful location, warm welcome, varied and extensive menu, and delicious food!

Todays visit but as good as the one we had on the 04th May for my wife’s 70th Birthday. Food, service and overall experience was first class. Bit disappointed today , food was average and certainly not worth the £111 paid for a lunch. However, plan to come back for my birthday in November.

Delicious food and excellent service. It’s our go to place for Sunday lunch. Thanks to all staff

Great service and very tasty meal. Stuart, Mark and the team always look after us when we come in

Great food, very friendly service, nice wine, nice interior, fair prices.

Fantastic place. Staff are superb and food was stunning. I wish every gastro pub was as good as this. Will definitely be back.

What an amazing experience we had this evening looked after us from start to finish and even found us a bigger table for an extra guest. Food was amazing. Cozy and home like feel about this restaurant. 10/10 will be back.

I really enjoyed my experience and felt at home with the staff and service; particularly the seabsss main meal was to 'die for'.

Have dined here a number of times over the years. Food and service always excellent. Smallish menu which regularly changes.

Warm and welcoming! Service was excellent, and the food we ordered was delicious.

Lovely restaurant with very varied menu and good service. Outside seating watching the swans in the river is beautiful

delicious food, great service & lovely atmosphere. My first time & will definitely be back.

We were celebrating a 60th birthday with a small group including 2 x under-5s. The waiting staff could not have been kinder and the food and service was very good.

Great atmosphere fantastic food and we got the same seat we sat in 21 years ago🤣Seabass super fresh, cullin Skink amazingly rich in a good way. Staff are very attentive and make sure you have everything you need. Would recommend without reservation

Despite having booked a table we had to wait in a very busy area with standing room only. We were not made to feel welcome. When we were eventually shown to a table, it was in an almost empty room with one other table of diners. There was no atmosphere. Having said that, the food was delicious.

Always a lovely place to go for dinner or just drinks

Excellent service and lovely atmosphere we love it here. So good with the kids too

Friendly attentive staff, good venue and ambience, excellent food and drink selections.

Wonderful service, fantastic food and great value for money. Loved it!

Great food, fish was so fresh and the chips were amazing. Local beer was excellent. Location is beautiful. There was an event parallel to ours, so we had to wait a bit, but when the service came, it was very friendly, attentive and competent. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Food was really well presented and everyone in our group really enjoyed their meals. Nice to also have a specials board in addition to the main menu. Service was excellent.

Friendly and welcoming staff in the venue which has an intimate but family atmosphere. Service is first class and meals are beautifully presented and taste sensational.

Great food, great beer and great service. Located near the town centre next to the river. Have been many times and will be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Waterside Bistro. Owners are always very welcoming and accommodating. Enjoyed cream of cauliflower soup and the Beef ragu pappardelle.

Had a nice table indoors. The atmosphere, food, and service were great.

Three main courses not hot and one having to be sent back. Service slow especially when young kids were present. Staff friendly and polite.

Amazing- good food, great service, perfect surroundings, can't think of a better way than to spend a Sunday at The Waterside Inn

Absolutely super. Enjoyed every mouthful. Good food good service. Great.

Great food, great service, actually found the portion sizes a little large so left food on the plate, a great waste of well cooked food. Nice that they serve Guiness zero for drivers

We could not fault the food it was lovely but sadly at 5.30 pm our experience was spoiled by a loud 3 person table not eating only drinking !! Sad especially at that early hour when there is no consideration given to others

An amazing evening celebrating our friends forthcoming wedding. Service, food and drink were excellent, as always. Xx

We found it quaint, beautiful, authentic, picturesque and the most amazing food, drinks and service

Burger overdone lacked presentation Roast dinner except for gravy very unusual flavour

Enjoyed a delicious meal here, in lovely old building, service very good.

Outstanding location, excellent service, terrific food. What's not to like

The staff were very attentive , without being intrusive. We were made to feel very welcome. ( thanks James!)The food was excellent and although we ( 3of us) have dined in many restaurants here and abroad , we would give it 10 /10. Thanks, Joe Docherty

Lovely sunny day sitting by river having lunch very pleasant and enjoyable.

Pub was very busy, Friday evening and it was raining so no seating outside, which was all very unfortunate. But the venison was very overcooked which has not been the case in the past.

Great lunch but for oldies maybe too much food , deserts were huge . But overall a lovely lunch with great service.

First time we’ve visited for several years but we’ll soon be back! Great staff, great food, great evening, the whole family loved it!

We had the most amazing meal and dining experience! Thank you James and team! Looking forward to our next visit!

Really good service and food quality was very good, portion sizes very generous

Staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was great

It was a beautiful meal to celebrate a wonderful anniversary.

Good food with big portions sizes. Good choices of both food and drink. Our table was a bit shoogly. Excellent service.

Loved it. Amazing food and amazing atmosphere. Will definitely be back soon!

Really, really good. Great service, very good food. Lovely setting. 100% recommend

I enjoyed the smoked tofu and soba noodles in teriyaki sauce which was very nice. Other party members enjoyed the sea trout and the pork tenderloin in red wine jus.
