Service was amazing, charming and efficient. Food was delicious - party of 5 and we all had something different and tried each others! My scallops were cooked perfectly. The ambience is also lovely - I would say it's elegant but informal in all the spaces (it's big). Great situation on the river.

It has been a long time since I have been to The Waterside Bistro, however, I will definitely be coming back again in the very near future. Food, service and staff were all excellent. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending The Waterside to any of my friends. Look forward to coming back again soon. Thank you.

Always met by friendly staff who couldn’t have done more to welcome us and made sure the dogs had water, we had drinks and a lovely table when it came to lunch. Loved the menu which has a mix of traditional dishes and some more unusual Ones. Food excellent and good value in a lovely setting

It was very busy when we arrived and it felt as though the staff were rushing us on. Specials were told to my husband only (i had nipped to the bathroom) Waiter seemed impatience while we were deciding on food choices. Food out very quickly after ordering and very little time between courses. Not until dessert menus came out did we have a bit of time but we choose to enjoy a winevand send the waiter away when asked if ready to order. Food was tasty, my prawn starter was disappointing brochie was stale and tiny prawns. Main course and dessert both delicous (mussels and trifle) my husband realky enjoyed the goats chees starter, surf n turf special and crumble for dessert. Overall satisfactory but service poor
