Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The Sunday lunch here is excellent value for money. Plenty of roast beef, a massive Yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings too at only £18. Can't be beaten. When you add the warm welcome from all the staff, it's just like being at home with...the family, except you don't have to do the washing up :)More

Just about 3 weeks ago we had a most wonderful 70ies birthday party with 34 people for a late lunch. The lunch was excellent, with a carefully selected choice of menus with every dish being excellent. Lisa and her crew made the organisation and serving...so easy, so effortless, so natural and cheerful. They simply were part of the family. We had the entire restaurant for ourselves with an open bar, two long interlinked tables and several small tables for spontaneous brake-off groups. Everyone was delighted, we could not have imagined it any better. The total price for these festivities was very reasonable! Thank you to Lisa and the entire Waterfront Restaurant Serving and Kitchen Team for the great party and the excellent food. My husband and all guests just loved it!More

Very nice and welcoming restaurant We enjoyed our visit and dined from the small plates menu. I would just say that we ordered 3 dishes each which was plenty but they do all come to the table at the same time and by the time...you get to the last dish it may not be as warm as some would like I myself do not mind this but some might maybe just ask them to delay the service a bit I'm sure they won't mind as they do there best to accommodate customersMore

We went with friends for the first time in a couple of years. The staff were super welcoming and really looked after us all evening. If anything, the food was even better than previously (and that is saying something) and, with the addition of a...small plates menu, the choice is great. I would definitely recommend a visit and will be returning very soon.More

Well now I know about this place I’ll definitely be back for sure. I’d been for a walk along the canal with my daughter then we went for some food which certainly didn’t disappoint and I’m very fussy !
