Henry What makes a good restaurant? Clearly food will feature somewhere on your list and in the case of The Waterside this takes the form of classic French cooking. Nothing is “deconstructed” or designed to surprise. You know exactly what you’re getting from the menu and if you’ve visited previously you probably even know what you’re going to order before you arrive. Nothing is intended to shock. Far too many restaurants at all levels feature a talented kitchen team let down by their front of house. From the moment you arrive here everyone knows what they are doing and wants to make your visit as enjoyable as they possibly can. They’re not trying to trip you up, you don’t have to be fluent in gastronomy or know anything about malolactic fermentation. The sommelier is there to help, not to test. No one is judging you although I’d be lying if said we didn’t people watch our fellow diners a little. You are family when dining at The Waterside, it’s not in any way stuffy or starched. That’s not to suggest service is casual, seamless would be my best description with teams assembling when required to reveal your next course before melting away again to leave you to your conversation. The Waterside is a happy place. My memory of the venue is that it’s a bit dated, the phrase “Chinese restaurant” was used as we drove there but things have quietly evolved. It’s actually quite smart these days. The bathrooms are modern and fresh, the soft furnishings crisp and comforting with a nod to the history of the venue. Let us not forget this is an institution woven into the fabric of British restaurant history.

Peter Fletcher Very, very good pizza. Reasonably priced too. Was a very quiet Wednesday, so hard to comment on service and atmosphere really. But was a nice, cosy little place.

Mehulkumar Desai An absolutely fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The Indian food here is outstanding—rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. Every dish was perfectly spiced and beautifully presented. The service was warm, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, perfect for both a relaxed dinner and a special occasion. This place truly delivers on food, service, and ambiance. Highly recommended—I can’t wait to come back!

Clare Davis We had a 24 inch pizza between 2 adults, 1 teen and 2 children, along with a side of coleslaw, chips and garlic bread. We demolished the lot, it was good!! The kids had ice cream after. We sat outside and the view was beautiful, very peaceful. Lovely venue. The lady who served us was very polite and friendly. We didnt wait long for our food. There is a play park near where we sat which the younger 2 absolutely loved. Plenty of parking. A really lovely place to go. Well be back

Sam Scott Great price. Had a coronation chicken baguette and it was delicious. Cost around £4.80 so very reasonably priced. Nice fresh salad with it. It was super tasty and I would eat here again.

Sofi S Double cheese burger and double white truffle burger with fries with bacon and cheddar. Super!! You have to order and then wait “outside” that is inside the apple market for your order. There is a reserved space to Shake Shack with tables both inside the market and outside (street part)
