The Olde Bell, BW Signature Collection by Best Western - (Near Berkshire, london)

Lisa Greaves Came across these guys by chance and loved everything about this place SO much, that I cancelled our reservation we had elsewhere the following evening, and we brought our friends here instead!! The service and the food is incredible! If we’re back in Henley again anytime soon we 100% will come back here and will be HIGHLY recommending to anyone visiting, to experience this wonderful eatery!! Absolutely fantastic guys, thank you for giving my tastebuds the best authentic Italian meal they’ve ever had!! STUNNING!

Dave Hayward Can unfortunately only confirm that its totally inauthentic these days. Am sure we had a good time here a year of so ago. Feels like thai made up from local Tesco or Sainsburys ingredients Didnt dislike our food, and it actually arrived very quickly, and was hot, but it felt like another culture were just making up "Thai" because they inherited a restaurant with Thai in the name. Am sure no Thai people would put this out. Watery, buttery Thai green curry, etc. no coconut. No spice. Laab Kai (one of my favourite dishes) was cherry tomatoes, a quartered cucumber, raw red onion and some raw bean sprouts plus the chicken. As others have said more like a greek salad? It was all edible and we ate it and satisfied enough / not poisoned, but Id not order again.

Denisse Pasco Absolutely fantastic! This might honestly be the best Japanese food I’ve ever had ⭐️. Everything was very fresh and came out really quickly. The staff were quite nice and the atmosphere was relaxing but vibrant. We were 2 people and had the salmon sushi set, the chicken karaage and chicken gyozas, all for £26, which to me is excellent value for money as the portions were filling and each meal came with accompaniments. Overall a great experience and I hope they get many more customers! We will definitely be coming back!

Zohreh Very good food, would recommend it. Have come again and again for their chicken

Yogesh w Gurung Amazing experience at Fredricks Hotel! Everything was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly, making sure every detail was taken care of. The food was delicious and arrived right on time. A special thank you to Bryan, who helped me with everything from the very beginning and took amazing care of me and everyone at the wedding. He truly made the whole experience stress-free and memorable. I highly recommend Fredricks Hotel for any special occasion!

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.
