Lakeside Ski and Wake in Cotswold

A cracking Sunday (Mothers day ) lunch with family. I went for the roast beef and I wasn't disappointed, really good quality meat and fabulous yorkshires and veg. I was too full for a pudding unfortunately! Looking forward to returning for breakfast once the weather improves! Only downside was it was very noisy in the so difficult to have a conversation over the table. Not sure whether that was the acoustics, the number of people in there (it was busy) or a bit of both.

We all had variation of the sunday roast menu and dessert. Everything was lovely, sticky toffee pudding was delicious. Good size portions

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch with family - lovely staff, relaxed setting and beautiful, generously portioned food. Thank you.

I really wanted to like this place. The staff are very good and try their hardest to make you feel welcome but you do feel like they could do with 2-3 extra people. The menu is fairly basic and the chef talented but we were all slightly disappointed by the food. The venue is very open-plan and was very noisy. There was live music on - the band were good but just a bit too loud for the venue as conversation, even in the annex, was difficult so we didn’t even have dessert. The key test for any restaurant is “would you go back”. Sadly, the answer is no as everything (except the staff) was just a bit less than you wanted.

Love this place! Food was great! Staff very friendly. Nice atmosphere and lovely view. Able to eat inside and out. An added bonus is that you can take dogs!

The food was average, chicken burger was dry and children’s burger had cheese(additional £1) which luckily was a small pea size amount as it was extra mature which most children would find strong, burger was not edible. This aside, the reason for the review was the service. I had to make 3 requests and that would seem like I was being fussy, the staff certainly treated me that way, but it was to ask for cutlery, napkins and the beans that went with the children’s meals. I had to ask twice for this as the first request was ignored. Next, the brioche bun for the adults burger came out as a seeded burger bun, not what was on the menu or what other customers had for their burgers, I was ok with this but as my husband has an intolerance we had to ask for a replacement, at this point the waitress, Jenna, stated it was our fault for not telling her. This is correct but she never asked and in our defence, the menu stated a brioche bun so we were not to know the corners were being cut and different buns used. They did replace the burger top with a brioche bun when asked. Finally, the bill arrives and we were charged extra for a children’s meal, I would normally ignore as not worth the hassle but we had such an awful time I asked and they didn’t know why so removed the charge, later saying the menu was incorrect that’s why. People have bad days but none of our requests were unreasonable and I feel the food and service was poor and does not reflect other reviews. We tried to eat local and not a chain or the popular eatery in the area but I feel I made a poor decision with the lakeside. If you visit, check your bill, do not assume the menu is correct and expect corners cut.

Great food, nice surroundings and great service. Will definitely return with different friends and pass on at work as well.

I’ve visited Lakeside multiple times now and it never fails to disappoint. It’s a great place for a coffee and a catch up, weekend brunch or evening dinner. Watching the water sports or the live music adds a great little extra to this unique venue. I’d recommend booking a table as it gets busy! The service is friendly and efficient, and the food has greatly improved in recent years. Couldn’t recommend more.

I booked a table for Saturday brunch during our weekend away. We arrived to a friendly welcome and were seated quickly, when we ordered we got offered a table by the window that had just vacated; We gladly moved to allow us to sit and enjoy the beautiful lake views in the sunshine - thank you! I ordered the GF pancakes and my partner ‘The Lakeside’ breakfast and they were able to make this DF and had oat milk for him to enjoy a coffee. Our meals took a little while to arrive, but they were very busy, we had asked for dietary amendments and we didn’t mine sitting and enjoying the views :) Our meals were enjoyed and we thought the bill was very good for our brunch. Total cost £25 - GF Pancakes, bacon & maple syrup Coca Cola DF The Lakeside breakfast Oat flat white Thank you for a lovely brunch with amazing views :)

Can’t fault the service but awful food. Clearly the people who rated this place 5 stars for the food don’t have great standards. I had the croquettes to start, cold in the middle, so not cooked properly….. then the chimichurri chicken which tasted like fish (?!) served over some extremely oily chips. Probably a better venue for drinks as the location is nice, just wouldn’t recommend to eat here.

Always great service, a lovely young lass served us, fantastic setting in the Autumn sunshine, sat outside watching the boat doing watersports. Very good food and drinks.

I think this may be one of the best breakfasts we’ve had out! Everything was cooked perfectly, and of high quality for a reasonable price! The staff were very friendly and this is a lovely spot watching the water sports! Would 100% come back if I’m the area.

Had a lovely 2 course meal here while staying in the Cotswolds. The mussels were cooked to perfection. Staff were very friendly and helpful and service quick. It has a very cosy feel to it with fairy lights and tea light candles on the tables. Chocolate brownie was also very good and they allowed me to swap the cream for ice cream. We ate in the dark so couldn't see the lake but would imagine on light summer evenings, would be a lovely view, would definitely like to visit again in the summer!

We've said it before ... and will say it again ... last Sunday we had THE BEST Sunday Roast at Lakeside Brasserie Restaurant!!! Nothing but praise from us for the food, helpful Staff and great location. See you again very soon :) Jan & Steve

Fantastic place. Went there with my friends for 27th birthday for the water activities and it was a great day. Staff are great and the owner is very accommodating. Would go again in a heartbeat

Was told to go somewhere else but this looked good over a lake, great setting, but staff not great, food if you can call it that was less than I would of excepted for the price. Should of listened to google reviews for this area....

Chance call in for breakfast - friendly and helpful welcome - chose table inside by window with view over the water (able to watch the inflatable riders bounce by behind the speedboat) - enjoyed quality food and coffee - very fair pricing for the offering...

Delicious food. Attentive staff. The place was very clean! The restaurant just by the lake with lovely view.

A lovely setting for lunch watching the water skiing. The staff were attentive and friendly especially to our children. The food was excellent thank you

We love visiting here either for just drinks or food. Lovely venue. Our server Katie was lovely, friendly and made recommendations which we both had & thoroughly enjoyed. Service was excellent. My boyfriend had the seafood curry- he wished the portion could have been larger....

Excellent food, all fresh and well made! Only thing that lets it down is the service drops when the bar gets busier - they could do with some more waiting staff. We had to go up to the bar to order our desserts and also...

Had a very tasty lunch with excellent service in a truly fantastic spot overlooking the lake. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Lovely setting overlooking the lake. I would have given a higher rating but the menu is very limited for vegetarians. My Wife, who is vegetarian, found the only choice to her liking was cheese macaroni, which she didn’t enjoy. I was luckier my mussels were...

Great, relaxed venue overlooking the lake - great entertainment watching the watersports. Staff friendly and efficient, food ok.

We visited here during a short break to the Cotswolds. It was a fine evening and we sat outside overlooking the lake. This was beautiful. My husband had the scallops starter and enjoyed it. He had the curry for main and said that it was...

Lovely seating outside. Friendly staff with great service. We all had burgers and potato tots to share. All the food was lovely. It was nice to sit outside and enjoy the weather.

Lovely staff made u feel welcome and an amazing breakfast 10/10 for us will 100% be back as a regular spot now🥰🥰

We had a takeaway from the Lakeside Brasserie and it was delicious! Absolutely lovely food, great portions and really fresh and tasty. We got the fish of the day, which was well cooked and super fresh. The chicken burger was amazing, the nicest chicken burger...

We had a delicious brunch after a lovely walk in the local area. The weather was great so we were able to site outside and admire the fabulous view of the lake. As we visited out of season it was calm and peaceful. The food...

We had 2 breakfasts and an evening meal here over the Easter weekend. We visit a lot as we live quite locally and it’s always very consistent. The lakeside scrambles was just delicious and the best scrambled egg I’ve had. The chicken Caesar was delicious...

This restaurant is excellent value, lovely food and menu. The staff were friendly, helpful and service excellent. Altogether a very pleasant evening in comfortable surroundings

The food is excellent but didn't have quite as big portions as last Mothers Day. The music was a bit too loud. But overall always good service and great setting by the lake.

Refreshed menu from last time we were here and it didn't disappoint. We choose three of the small plate dishes for appetizers to share , they were delicious and tasted so fresh. Chicken burger mains were a succulent cut of chicken in a yummy buttermilk...

We visited here yesterday for the first time, and we’re lucky enough to be able to have their amazing Sunday lunch. The Staff looking after us were friendly and very helpful making us feel welcome. All of us had the mixed roast (chicken & beef)...

We have regularly visited this and recommended to friends. The last 3 occasions it’s been hugely disappointing - ok food, very pricey drinks, and no atmosphere at all. Day time slightly better but for an evening I would not recommend. I’ve been told management has...

As a regular here, I would definitely recommend!! Aside from the amazing view of the lake and watersports, the food is brilliant and the staff are always welcoming and friendly. An added bonus is that it is also dog friendly 🙂

From the moment you walk through the staff are there and very friendly. The tables are spaced apart and you don’t feel crammed and it is a very light spacious room. We never eat outside, but it looks lovely on view overseen the lake. I...

Visited Lakeside over the Aug Bank Holiday weekend and had a lovely time sitting next to the lake in the sun watching the skiers. I'm a big fish lover so I ordered the blanchbait followed by the mussels - both were delicious! We then stayed...

Came here on bank holiday weekend to soak up some sun. Great service and gorgeous view. I really enjoyed my elderflower spritz cocktail 😝

With a group of friends our family arrived here over the bank holiday weekend as it looked such a lovely place. It wasn't very busy, although many people were outside drinking. We were served drinks relatively quickly, After about half an hour another party came...

We arrived on Bank Holiday Monday, without a prior booking, but hoping for a drink and a snack. On arrival, we were told that there was no lunches available and that all tables on the terrace were fully reserved. However, we could sit either outside...

Great place to go for a coffee or a meal especially when water sports are on the lake. Staff always obliging.

Family meal, 4 adults and a 4 year old. Very friendly, helpful staff, lovely food and a cracking view! Enjoyed it so much we went back for another meal as a couple. We were staying on Spring lake and it was great having somewhere so...

The Lakeside is one of those places that ticks more than the average boxes with great outdoor seating, a water sport platform and great scenery. The menu is diverse and reasonably priced with a good drink selection. The food was pretty good with the best...

Great place and beautiful location. Food is very good and so is the service, but watch out for the £8 gin and £5 tonic

We only live a short 20 minute walk from here and its our go to place for a relaxed brunch beside the water. Service is always friendly and attentive with a great selection of food at reasonable prices. We will be back.

Always dine here for a special occasion, Mum's day, birthdays. They did a really good job for Mum's 90th. Birthday, catering for 26 guests. Love the outside area, watching the water sports, and sport on tv. Great food.

We had breakfast here twice last week on our first ever holiday to the Cotswold Water Park. What a really lovely place to come to and what stunning views. The Lakeside Restaurant really was the highlight of our holiday for the views of waterskiing, the...

We visited this superbly located restaurant twice during our holiday. The views are stunning and perfect on a sunny evening. The staff were friendly and welcoming with very good service. The evening menu is limited but I had the BBQ ribs twice as it was...

This is worth a visit for the views alone across the lake. The service was very friendly, especially when we moved tables a few times from inside to outside. The food was very nice and portion sizes were reasonably big. Parking was available. Recommend a...

Nice restaurant on the water front. Service very good, brilliant with kids.Food was OK, nothing special. Walkable if staying in one of the lake places off the main road. Parking. Reasonable price for people from London 🙂.

Another fantastic breakfast in a fabulous spot. Excellent food, good service, good coffee, lovely restaurant. Ample parking plus playground and you can watch some water sports. You won’t regret it !

We came here last year but couldn’t eat as it was fully booked. This year I booked in advance for Easter Sunday. What a treat. Perfect weather, staff and food. The Sunday roast was plentiful. Gorgeous cauliflower cheese and red cabbage, plenty of meat and...

We arrived early. Good job as it got busy later. First coffees a bit cool, second lot perfect. One waitress (first day there) should smile :) The other two were great. Breakfast was excellent, though my bake beans were quite cold. My sausages were were...

Went twice over the bank holiday weekend, once for coffee and then back again for dinner! The new decor is gorgeous too 🤩

What a gorgeous hidden gem. Stunning location in the sun. Me and a few business colleagues had a sensational breakfast and one of the BEST flat whites I’ve ever had. The water skiing boat also went past and the skier waved at me, which just...

Had a lovely lunch in the sun at Lakeside over the Bank Holiday weekend. The food was delicious and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. The new decor is also looking amazing- I’ll be spending the whole summer here!

A lovely restaurant in the heart of the cotswolds. Me and my friends had the burger, pizza and a prawn starter which was so delicious and satisfying. Great quick service and a wonderful view. We loved it so much we stayed for a few hours...

Underwhelmed with breakfast had to send coffees back as they were cold and poorly made, don’t put a flat white on the menu if you can’t make one. Hair on 3 of the 6 plates! We highlighted this after we paid as we had already...

Recently refurbished and updated, service is excellent, breakfasts are delightful and what a view. Oh and the lunch menu is good too.

Lakeside has recently been refurbished and it looks fantastic. We had a lovely relaxed morning, delicious coffee, delicious breakfast and really nice service. Beautiful setting. We will continue to come back as it’s such a lovely place .

Great views over lake, nice American breakfast, latte, and good, pleasant service. Be even better in warmer weather.

Lakeside offers a great spot for those looking for a quick and solid brasserie menu, good choice of drinks and a lively atmosphere. The outdoor seating has lots of heating and at sunset it's the best view in the Waterpark. After a 4 month refurb,...

An excellent place for exceptional food. Stayed at Spring Lake for a few days and had dinner at Brasserie on two nights. Food is amazing. Good portions , great flavour. Friendly staff . Location wonderful looking out onto lake watching watersports. Inside and outside seating...

Lovely spot right on the lake. Plenty of seating inside and out (pre book though for food). We had breakfast which was really good; I had the smashed avocado and perfectly crispy bacon. The coffees were also really good. Really friendly service. Parking was no...

5 of us had a lovely breakfast here yesterday morning. Very pleasant team and the food was lovely. It's worth booking though to avoid disappointment as it's a very popular spot.

Good food and service in a lovely setting. I would definately recommend for lunch or dinner. The only downside was the parking not many spaces allocated to the restaurant.

Had a wonderful family get together here for Granddaughters 21st - we had excellent service and the meals were great, extra special as we could sit and watch the water skiing while chatting and catching up with everyone Thanks to Lucy for organising our table...

Our family of 5 enjoyed a great evening meal here this week and were lucky enough to have an outside table for the view. Happy to highly recommend!!

Just stopped for a quick drink. Great views. Would be nice to be able to sit outside in good weather, nice outdoor space.

Pizzas tasted like rubber such a shame arrived early was looking forward came the day beforehand sat outside in the sunshine had drink lovely view, young man waiter was excellent very friendly, but nxt day to receive pizzas no taste &hard to eat but I...

This was a lovely spot for us to have some lunch in between our water sports activities. We sat outside on the terraced area due to the glorious weather, so we were able to watch the water sports with a beautiful view of the lake....

Booked a table well in advance for lunch and had a great time. We all ordered one of the sourdough sarnies and were not disappointed. Really tasty fresh crispy sandwiches with generous fillings. There’s an extensive menu and you can order drinks on the app...

Visited with some friends after work for a pint and some food. Drinks and food came promptly which was amazing as we were super hungry! Lush day to sit next to the lake and watch the wake boarding also! Staff very friendly and we’ll definitely...

A very nice place to stop have lunch by the lake side setting fajhitas and i had ploughmans you are entertain by the speed boat as it pulls people across the lake inside and outside tables my only moan would be no proper beers to...

Only 3 stars but that is for the food. Staff would get a 4 and the views of the lake a 5. The food was served hot and quickly but the meals were disappointing. Nachos portion was large even for two but they used squirt...

We visited this restaurant for Sunday lunch which was very busy, resulting in slow service when ordering both food and drinks. The roast when it arrived was well cooked and generous in portion size. The restaurant would be better described as a large cafe and...

We booked a table based on great reviews but we were extremely underwhelmed!! Service was very “McDonald’s “ the fries were very “McDonald’s “ … we ate our mains , ordered puddings , ( there was clearly a problem in the kitchen ) we waited...

On entering on 23/6/21 , we were shown to our table . Someone forgot to say that you order drinks by the app . On next table which I presume we’re regulars they asked for drinks and paid server at the table by credit card...

I and Five friends enjoyed a fantastic birthday lunch at the Lakeside Brasserie, greeted with a warm welcome and promptly taken to our table which had a beautiful view over the lake. The restaurant was very clean and spacious with a warm welcoming atmosphere. Our...

Came in for a couple of drinks and watched the football blonde girl who served us was really welcoming

Beautiful setting. The staff were great. Food and drinks all perfect. Pina coladas we’re lovely. Visiting the area again later in the year and can’t wait to come back.

Lakeside is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to, nice to go to on a relaxing weekend overlooking the lake, all the waiting staff are really welcoming and accommodating, the bar staff are also amazing! One that stuck out to me was Jenna we...

We visited last week and planned on eating at Lakeside Monday night. After the delicious food and wonderful service, we ended up dining there almost every night of our stay. Delicious food, lovely service and a great view! Look forward to returning during our stay...

We had a great afternoon meeting friends at Lakeside, the setting was perfect and the staff were really helpful. We look forward to returning soon.

We've been here so many times it never disappoints. Everyone is always so welcoming and the food is gorgeous, especially the lamb shank. It's got such a laid back feel to it but very efficient. Even when visiting on the first Sunday after easing of...

Love the Lakeside it's a great location for a drink or for food. We booked for breakfast and all four of us loved it, great produce well cooked and served by friendly attentative staff. Then you have the setting love it.

We had some wakeboarding on the lake booked and decided it was a beautiful day and we wanted to stay for lunch. The staff managed to squeeze us in and we had such a great meal! We had a pizza, the sole burger & kids...

Booked a table two weeks in advance and informed the restaurant one of our table had a nut allergy . Arrived on time were seated and given menus . After 25 minutes and , watching people who came in after us being served , I...

We have a house 5 mins away and phoned ahead at 2.44pm to check they were open and were told if we arrive in 5 mins we would be served. We arrived and were refused service as the kitchen was closed - we said we...

Beautiful lakeside view on the terrace. Great food & brilliant service from the team, especially Lucy who was super friendly and so attentive. Would highly recommend, will definitely be returning. Fantastic!

Beautiful lakeside setting, great food and super lovely staff. The staff were so accommodating and helped us try to get a taxi which was tricky in this rural location. Would highly recommend a visit.

A great setting, meal and service! We sat outside under a great heater and was sheltered from the elements! Lovely view over the river with entertainment of some locals wakeboarding! Meal was very nice, great selection of food to suit all tastebuds.

Stunning location. Food was amazing, the fajitas were so tasty and both my partner and I really enjoyed the biscoff cheesecake. Friendly staff and nice clean establishment :)

Pleasant setting by the Cotswold Water park. Sat on outdoor terracing and enjoyed the sunshine while watching water skiers do their thing. Service was friendly and good was excellent. Prices were quite reasonable, it's not a pretentious place at all despite its luxury setting. There...

Dish was bland, lacked flavour and tiny amount of fish, poor value for a cup-o-soup with a pyramid of rice filler. Other dishes were good and plentiful. Please rectify this ASAP or remove it from menu or put as a starter???

Lovely breakfast at one of my favourite places. Lots of outside space, perfect setting, helpful staff and delicious food.

Fantastic service from the lovely and hardworking lakeside team this evening. We were made to feel welcomed and comfortable, nothing was too much trouble. A great effort has been made to ensure costumer safety also. We enjoyed the generous portions of hummus and olives to...

We had the Sunday roast yesterday. It wasn’t bad but nothing to write home about. Reasonably priced but small portions of meat. Nice view so ask for a table with a window view.

We had a few days at Spring Lake and booked for a meal at Lakeside Restaurant. This was during the recent pandemic and despite the precautions that they had in place, I felt that they were only paying lip-service to customer safety. My wife and...
