The Waterside Bistro

Lovely outside tables. Great friendly service from such nice staff

Food and service was excellent as usual and tables were set out very well for social distancing due to covid. Everything felt very normal!

Great service and fantastic food Thank you very much for an enjoyable evening We will definitely return

It's always lovely in the waterside and they didn't disappoint. James welcomed us back and the staff were all attentive without being intrusive

Warm welcome and good Covid practises in place. Food was tasty and nicely served though a little pricey

Relaxing atmosphere, great quality food and fantastic service. Highly recommend.

Amazing service, food was excellent and will definitely be back soon.

Excellent food and quality, attentive service. Will definitely return soon.

Good food good service simple as that and not too pricey

Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Delighted to have this as our new local! 🥂

Lovely meal; excellent service and really lovely ambience. Highly recommended!

Our first visit to the waterside and hopefully not our last. food was lovely, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Good Covid measures in place.

Lovely day and nice venue overlooking the Scottish Tyne. Been often

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.

Always a lovely welcome. Fabulous food, and the cheesecake was delicious. So lucky to have the Waterside on our doorstep.

Lovely atmosphere Staff helpful but not in your face Food scrumptious especially the vegan options

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.

Amazing food, friendly welcome, quick service. 10 out of 10.

Friendly, welcoming staff, food was lovely. Nice atmosphere and location. Good value.

Lovely venue and attentive staff. We enjoyed our meals very much. Probably the only negative was that my chair was very uncomfortable - its padding had definitely seen better days.

James and the team we’re fantastic as always! Great food and great service!

Lovely atmosphere, food was delicious, great service! Thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you!

Tasty food and lovely service - felt very safe during whole meal

This was our first visit to the Waterside Bistro but from the moment we arrived we were made very welcome. The food was excellent and we really couldn’t fault anything. We will be back!

Delicious food and fantastic service as always! Glad to go back.

As usual, well-presented and flavoursome food in a tranquil setting. We particularly liked that the bar stocked Winton Brewery beers.

From start to finish was fantastic staff, service food atmosphere just lovely

Amazing to be able to eat out again! Had an amazing meal, steak was so tender, and a cleverly constructed menu. James was his usual welcoming self, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable even with the added strain of Covid-19 restrictions. Looking forward to returning again very soon1

Food very good, service very good - Covid precautions do have an impact on the experience but all well explained by the staff and understandable.

Great food and excellent personal service. Great to be back.

Even with the reduced menu, The Waterside is always a pleasurable dining experience.

Absolutely wonderful, staff were all tremendous and to say we will be back can’t fault on anything Xx

It was a special golden wedding anniversary celebration for just the 2 of us which was perfect in every way

Great service and an excellent meal and good to get back

Lovely food service and surroundings. Great outside seating area too.

Considering this was the first day of opening since the lockdown it really was a great night.

Great speedy service, friendly staff, hand sanitiser available, clean premises and great food.

We had such a wonderful time, to be treated with the usual Waterside welcome and the Chicken Balmoral was to die for!! So glad we went there today. Thank you for the awesome experience!!

Excellent meal and good service. Will be back soon we hope.

Great food and very friendly staff as always. They always go the extra mile

It was excellent in every way. We were late but I called to advise and was told not to worry. We were 4 and all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Lovely cosy atmosphere on a dreadfully cold and wet evening. Great food
