quayside bar and restaurant in Waveney

Fantastic service and delicious food in the private room. Private room was kept lovely and warm throughout the meal. Abbey and her staff were very efficient and it was rather nice having our names called out for food rather than the usual way of just calling out food type!!!! Salmon was fantastic as too was the fresh fruit salad. Two courses were plenty for most people due to the large portions. The initial welcoming tv fire 🔥 in main bar and was great even though no heat!!!!!’

My wife and I popped in on a very hot day for a break about 3 pm weekday, we had cheesy toasty and coffee, lovely and very pleasant staff…

Whilst the meal we had there was lovely, it was very difficult to find out the menu each day. Vegetarian meals only seemed to be catered for if you asked specifically which was odd. The menu board was only on display once in the week while we were there. Today I wanted to visit again. I waited 10 minutes to ask before being brushed off with a “we don’t know yet”. The attitude was unwelcoming- needless to say we are unlikely to return during our stay in the area.

Ate here for the first time in quite sometime and i must say we were all very impressed. All 3 meals were well cooked, well presented and very tasty. Thank's to Gavin and his team.

Friendly accommodating staff, friendly locals, great choice of drink and menu. Best carvery had on a very long time.

good food, good atmosphere, nice staff and very Covid aware. Situated right near to the water and boats in the marina, with extensive space to sit outside the restaurant.. Bowl for dogs water. - very popular for walks followed by a drink. Enjoyed several meals here including lovely fish and chips and a Sunday roast. Fair pricing.

East Point Radio held its much-postponed volunteer get-together there today. There was plenty of outdoor seating space in the late summer sunshine, which pleased our dozen-strong party. There was a choice of four cask ales; I chose Adnams' Ghost Ship, always a favourite on a warm day. The carvery looked good but knowing I'd get a full meal later I ordered the Cheese and Bacon Melt Baguette from the bar menu. It arrived promptly, hot and of good size. The food and drink is reasonably priced and the staff were pleasant and efficient. Recommended.

First time in restaurant looks a bit tired inside but comfortable had carvery choice Turkey pork gammon no beef told the supplier unable to get tender Beef.think I was being told porkys. The Turkey looked good so wife and I that,veg were a bit tired especially roast potatoes other veg ok but had bin on show long while we visited around 2pm. Staff very good atmosphere ok.chairs and carpet appears soiled.will we go back yes.

Beer good value, very friendly staff, nice location although some of the outside table are a bit wonky! Didn't eat but the food looked very good.

Food was good, piping hot. If you would like the carvery best to book as gets very popular. The two ladies behind the bar are very friendly.

We Came here for food as a family, we sat outside in the sun, we didn't have a booking. Order at the bar here. Service was good, food was very reasonably priced. Another great visit.

Our first visit was on Saturday 3rd July. As we walked into the premises to eat, we didn't have great expectations about the food, hopefully fair 'pub' food. Boy were we wrong! The burger was 100% pure beef and cooked perfectly. The whole tail scampi, was WHOLE TAIL SCAMPI and not some frozen mush and the cod was extremely tasty and so big it could have fed three of us!!!! Cooked perfectly, served and presented really well. Thee staff were warm, welcoming and attentive without being pushing. We were staying on the site for a week and ate there on several occasions and every meal was extremely good, from the curry to the scampi. Gavin has a very good team here, getting everything right. Oh and you don't have to be staying on the site or mariner to visit here.

Visited Saturday just gone and had a lovely pint of ghost with the butcher family , Didn’t have food looks nice but a good selection of beer.

We have spent many happy times in this place, gavin and is staff always made us welcome, an food is great.

Really enjoy my time spent here. The staff are spot on and give off a really good vibe. A joy to sit and relax.

What a wonderfull place in lowestoft loverly place great atmosphere great staff the food is loverly i will certanly visit again

A very warm welcome, the food was really tasty and excellent value. The decor in the bar was very appealing. The staff attentive with an all round great experience. A must visit.

Very good friendly place with nice food and great views. Good value drinks and food and nice to sit watching boats. Very Covid friendly. Best value in area for drinks and food

The staff who were serving food and drinks were extremely friendly. The fish and chips were ok apart from the peas which were like bullets. The pie was really tiny and overpriced it was minuscule with no filling. Not a good experience at all.

Nice bar good staff, but needs to increase opening hours, finish work 5.30 - 6 so Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday no chance of a relaxing wind down drink.

We had read good reviews on this place but were disappointed. The menu was understandably limited and we were offered a choice of about 5 dishes. After we had ordered we saw a number of dishes served that were not offered to us and not on the limited menu we were shown. 2 waitresses run off their feet and 1 waiter joined them but the service was not great. No desserts at all on offer. Would not recommend.

Why they call it a "restaurant" I will never know,, various meals on offer, but basically fast food "pub grub"! If you want proper restaurant food, go elsewhere.And of course being on a holiday camp, for the best part it is running alive with children!

Having recently bought a property on the site we have visited the Quayside for lunch, dinner and just drinks and every time have recieved a friendly welcome and wonderfull service.The food is great and the atmosphere relaxed and friendly.The Sunday carvery is excellent.I cant wait till the Xmas party night !

We have been here for lunch time snacks and a Sunday carvery. The food was very tasty and well presented. The staff are attentive and friendly. The dining room is well presented and the bar well appointed. It is close to the Broads with tables and chairs outside from where you can watch the boats. You can enjoy a pleasant walk here from Everett’s Park and onward along the river to the nature reserve.

Friendly staff in a bistro type cafe serving pretty decent grub at fair prices. Also very comfortable to sit and have a drink overlooking the marina. Outside tables for warm days. Worth a visit.

Have been staying on site for many years and always visit the Quayside for dinner or lunch. Once again, was not dissapointed. Food was delish and service amazing. I would recommend checking out the daily specials, as for me the menu is a bit limited but I am a self confessed foodie. Sunday carvery is a winner every time,and Shane the chef is chatty and friendly. We are visiting another site in November and will definately be booking in for the carvery again. Thanks to Gavin and his team for running such a well oiled ship. We look forward to seeing you in November.

We visit the Broadland Holiday village each year (excellent accommodation) and always love to eat and drink at the Quayside Bar. Warm welcome and lovely ales and food on offer.

We stopped here for lunch after looking round the holiday park it is situated on. We sat outside in the sunshine with a view of the marina. The staff were friendly and the food was good. Pub grub food, we all had the chilli which was really tasty and lots of it. The prices are fair for where you are, in a nice peaceful setting. We will definitely be back as this will be where our holiday home will be.

A nice and sunny weekend day, we came for food and got a outside table. Very reasonably priced for both, food and drink. All food was excellent. Will definitely be coming back! Thanks

From what I can see sat here looking at the bar, if you are known this is very beneficial. Being on a holiday camp setting this is the very opposite of what you would expect.Kids menu- limitedDesserts- limited Bar- limitedI had chicken and ribs (well rib with about 70% fat)Checked back after first mouthful. Give me a chance. Service standards overall are poor.Overall would advise to stay away

3 of us celebrated significant birthdays lin January at the Broadlands Park and Marina. We had a party for 40 people at the Quayside Bar and restaurant. Everyone was very satisfied with their food - there was plenty of it - and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Our vegetarian and vegan friends were well catered for. Strutty and his guitar came to entertain us and we danced the night away. The beer drinkers appreciated the real ale and the wine drinkers has plenty of choice - and all at very reasonable prices. The staff were all wonderful and looked after us very well - nothing was too much trouble for them and they were always cheerful. We also had excellent full English breakfasts on 3 mornings as well as drinks and food at other times. We were made very welcome and will certainly return before too long. Many thanks to everyone at the Quayside.

Had a really great meal today. Food was really good very hot and plenty of it and the staff were attentive but not over the top. Will definitely go again and soon.

Food was really good, service was absolutely fantastic very child friendly we will definitely be back couldn’t recommend more

We love coming here as it always has a really pleasant relaxed atmosphere where you can just chill out.

Friendly staff in a great environment. Great outlook and excellent food. Both food and drink value for money.

I quite often visit here with friends and was amazed at how wild and out of control this place was kids running riot with no parental control

Absolute rubbish. First my beer was flat. Then me and my son ordered food (my son is 7) I got a 10oz Gammon steak that was 1 wide SLICE of bacon !!!! So I complained and got 2 wide SLICES of bacon, I ended up leaving half of the Gammon....I mean bacon. I always leave my plate empty. And my son got the chicken burger, it's was a large piece of chicken breast in a bun but it was dryer than Gandhi's flip flop ! He had one small bite and then ended up just eating the bun !!!! I didn't blame him. The chips was ok though. This has now hit 1st place in worst place I've ever eaten.

Friendly bar and restaurant based within a small holiday park. Food and drinks were good value and the staff wonderfully attentive. The view is beautiful and I can thoroughly recommend a visit.

We visited the Quayside Bar and Restaurant during our stay at Broadland Park & Marina. The food is typical pub/restaurant style food but good quality. The food is cooked fresh to order which is great but only negative is that there is sometimes quite a while to wait for food and service can be a little slow. However, it was similarly priced to what would be expected in other similar establishments and all meals our group had were good quality. There is a fairly good choice with daily specials too. The bar itself is quite large and comfortable. There is a separate pool table area and also a separate restaurant area where I believe a Cavery is offered, which is pre-bookable, on Sundays. There is outside seating both under gazebos and also bench tables overlooking the Marina and Oulton Broad, which is particularly nice on sunny days. You can also therefore eat outside if you are holidaying with your dog, which we did. Dogs are not allowed inside the bar area only in the outside space. Bar service was generally good and friendly but we did find some staff were more friendly and efficient than others. There was a singer/musician on one night of our stay which was very good and also a quiz night which was very popular.

Great beer great staff beautiful views good food is staff is welcoming and friendly they have live muisc which is good and u can just relax and have a good time well worth a visit

We ate here one night whilst staying on the park and the food was perfectly ok but not cheap, £10 for a veggie burger.

We were staying on site and visited the Quayside bar several time and was always greeted with a smile. The food was lovely ...the roast was great value and delicious. Very clean ....great staff...and good food...

Eating here was a pleasure. Lovely team, friendly and attentive. Food amazing, loved everything we ate here.

A lovely evening, went with all the family, nothing was too much trouble, the team are really friendly. The local beer was fantastic you can tell they take pride in quality! All the family really enjoyed it, i had the local fresh crab which was incredible! My dad had the fish and hasn’t shut up about how good it was since we have got home over a week ago! Can’t wait for our next holiday will defiantly call in again, this is the best eating establishment in Oulton Broad we ate in a few and none were a patch on this one!

First visit to this restaurant, had been told that it would be excellent! We were part of a crowd in the function room. The service was poor as there were not enough staff which was disappointing as it was a pre ordered meal so they knew how many they would be serving. The starter was ok but very bland, the soup had a skin on it so had obviously been standing for some time. The beef medallions were not beef medallions but a very much cheaper cut of beef, tasteless & served with inappropriate vegetables. The meal was very disjointed, some of us got hot veg & some didn’t get any at all even asking the staff for more. One lady sent her meal back 3 times as it was not cooked & ended up having something different but at least she got a hot meal served with hot veg!

Went for lunch with friends . Had liver and bacon. Freshly cooked , gravy to die for . Wife had crab salad . Very good.

Familia de visita en la región y dimos un paseo en coche de Oulton Broad. Todos los restaurantes y cafeterías en Lowestoft son conocidas por ser nefasto, pero la banda encontré este lugar por casualidad. Todos (5) Nosotros decidimos almorzar y entramos a recibir una alegre bienvenida y estaba sentado al lado de la ventana. Estamos mucho exigente como es nuestro perro grasa que fue atado y cargas (fuera recibido de atención). Tengo que decir que nos quedamos impactados con la calidad de la comida. Siempre nos espera mediocre en y alrededor de esta zona, pero la comida era adorable, así como el servicio. Lo fantástico para los residentes de este parque. Hemos decidido volver en tres semanas. Este lugar no estaría fuera de lugar en Mayfair. . Su sitio de gracias. .

Sidra y festival de la cerveza estropeada por el personal del bar los clientes en coche con sistema de sonido ruidoso y basura.

Será totalmente honesto aquí ya nos sorprendió gratamente. He tenido algunas malas experiencias en el pasado, pero decidimos darle una oportunidad como su tan conveniente cerca de nuestro amarre. Tuvimos una cena y, a pesar del hecho de que tenían una noche especial corriendo pudimos ofrecer un menú prácticamente completo normal. La comida era muy buena y el servicio es bueno. Se agrega este comiendo de nuestra lista.

En primer lugar me gustaría decir que me alojé en el hotel por 4 meses hasta mi casa terminada. En ese momento me pareció que el personal en el sitio web de sociable, amable y servicial. Tuve mi fiesta de cumpleaños 60 de septiembre de 2016, aquí optamos por un menú estilo barbacoa que era increíble, eran extremadamente atento y mi cumpleaños sin duda uno para recordar. Mi hija y nietos no como agenda - de nuevo para este sin ningún problema.

Vine a este restaurante la noche con mi familia y tuvimos una comida relajante. El interior es muy moderno y acogedor, y el personal es muy amable y servicial. Pedí un filete con una patata chaqueta sobresaliente, el sobresaliente era probablemente el mejor que he probado, la patata chaqueta podría haber sido un poco más, como me gusta agradables y suaves, pero eso es mi propia preferencia. Mis niños tuvieron un queso realmente delicioso macaroni mientras mi marido tenía una hamburguesa sabrosa. Hacen ofertas especiales aquí. Situado en una magnífica ubicación, ideal para cuando el sol decide finalmente hacer una aparición!

Fuimos al bar de la zona de Quayside y el restaurante la última noche, nos habíamos reservado el plato de pescado (que no está en el menú, pero siempre se puede hacer mucho, no está en el menú). Llegamos a encontrar nuestra mesa todas decoradas. Cogimos nuestras bebidas y a 15 minutos de nuestra fuente llegamos. Había de todo en ella! ! Calamares, patatas fritas, bacalao cougons (alrededor de 10), colas de langostinos, gambas, salmón, pelotas y aros de cebolla con un montón de limones whitebaite esparcidos alrededor para poner el pescado, y todo con un plato abundante de salsa tártara en el medio sobre una cama de ensalada. El personal fue muy atento y amable. Recomiendo encarecidamente este restaurante.

Hemos comido aquí en varias ocasiones, y la comida siempre ha sido preparado y presentado a un estándar muy alto. El personal es educado, amable y acogedor, y asegúrate de que tienes todo lo que necesitas para hacer una excelente experiencia. Esto va tanto para...

Pedimos el bistec en el restaurante 8 oz solomillo de tamaño pedí lo que me dieron solo puede ser descrito como duro como botas de vieja para 16 libras. 50 espero algo mejor

Encontramos el bar/restaurante muy agradable pero tenían una muy limitada selección de cursos y la principal que eligió estaba disponible, lo que fue un poco decepcionante.

We stay at Broadlands holiday village every year but we noticed a significant change in the atmosphere of the place this year.In previous years it has been buzzing and pretty full most nights, this year for 2 of the nights we were actually the only people in there. Even Quiz Night I think there was only about 3 teams in it!The menu has changed as well with very little that inspired us to try it and the deal is now 2 for £14 which isn't really a deal for bog standard cafe food.The staff were still very friendly as they always are but to me it looked like the place was dying a slow death?The other thing that put us off was a certain man that was outside in the smoking area, who looked like he worked there as we saw him a number of times, who was constantly spitting which was very offputting!

My wife and I had occasion to visit the Quayside Bar & Restaurant yesterday evening.It was a spur of the moment decision and we decided to try their carvery at two for £15.We went there with my bother in law and sister in law, and to a person we all agreed that it was one I the best carvery meals that we had had in some time.We could not fault it any way.We also stayed for the excellent entertainment that was provided, a guitarist and singer called Strutty, and we all had a very enjoyable evening.Well done to Gavin and staff.

I've had food in the past and it was very average, and is inconsistent in quality and quantity. The decor is nice and its a nice location right on the Broads. There is seating and parking outside, but the car park can get busy on Sunday lunchtimes. Rumour is there is a conservatory being built on the side which may impact on parking. Live music is on fairly regularly. Prices could be cheaper, especially for the food.

I have been using this bar and resturant for a few years now as the views are stunning and on a nice day you can sit outside with your dog.We used to often have something to eat and often took friends there to eat too. But over the last 6 months or more the food has been terrible I don't know why this is as it's previously been good. The prices have been increased a lot for poor quality nasty food.I had a Sunday carvery, the resturants was nearly empty we were told the chef would be along in a minute by 4 different members of staff, 20 minutes later a grumpy chef appeared, no apology for the wait no smile just a don't care attitude. The food didn't look good but continue anyway. I asked what a dish was which was with carvery veg to be told it's cottage pie! The food tasted as it looked, awful. Will not be eating here again.

we tried evening meal, fish over cooked and very dry. Then we tried breakfast, could not believe no eggs, had bacon you could only pick up and crack in two sausages burnt beans microwaved to boiling point the worst ever, it was a joke.

Visited Quayside restaurant last night and was disappointed with the food served but more especially by the unfriendly barman. His attitude needs addressing. A smile would of been nice as would a friendly bit of banter but this was not to be. I have visited this establishment several times and if it was not for its most pleasant outlook I would not go back anymore. The food is greatly overpriced and not much of it.

Had an evening meal which was nice but was let down by the mishog behind the bar!!.. Would of stayed longer if he had of had a bit more personality... Or even a smile. I don't expect Tom Cruise but a little customer engagement would of been nice!!

After reading the last review I was slightly concerned what I was letting myself in for, the last review can't have been more wrong. A lovely friendly welcoming place. Lots to choose from on the menu, I took some very picky friends too. Excellent food and amazing real ale - the next time I am on holiday again in this area I will be coming here every night. Amazing place for all ages, couples and families. Can't wait to go back!

We recently had a meal here and I was very disappointed. We ate in the bar and I Paid £11.95 for a Chicken Korma with 5 small pieces of chicken. Another person in the party had potatoes with their meals which were like rocks !!! I feel that £11.95 for a bar meal is expensive and other establishments in the area charge much less for a far nicer meal. If you had children the prices in the club house would mean it would be an expensive family meal time. I have eaten here on previous visits to the holiday village but since it has changed hands the meals have deteriorated in presentation and value. I definitely will not be eating here on further holidays. Very disappointing. Don't waste your time eating here !!!!

From a tradition of real restaurant service, fun (pool and arcade), bar, and just plain great service from breakfast to dinner, this is the place at Broadlands Holiday Village to be! During the week they provide entertainment, as well! It cannot be stated, well enough, how reasonable, accommodating, and personable the owners to staff care about their customers! Thank you all! Ed and Liz Smith

food was lovely ,although we had to wait a while ,but it was easter and they were very busy.they did have entertainment on in the bar ,but we did not think the bar was very big so don't know how they managed it ,we were the only table in restaurant ,maybe extend bar to restaurant to make it bigger ,just a thought.

Was staying in one of the bungalows and enjoyed 2 lovely lunches here. Very nice staff and lovely home cooked food of good quality. Would visit again.

Lovely meal of a fish (cant remember what sort) but it was very nice and potatoes. We then had to add on the vegetables from side dishes. I must say these were dissapointing. There was a choice of just sprouts, calibre and cauliflower (these are the same types of veg) , it would have been better to have peas and carrots instead of one of the choices. They were also over cooked and mushy. The starter of salmon parcel was lovely as was the Christmas pudding. The staff were polite.

We called in for breakfast as our boat is moored outside ! A good value breakfast with quality ingredients cooked well . Great views over the Marina and Oulton Broad .

we enjoyed our afternoon here, a very quiet & very scenic place. Once inside the pub was actually very busy. Staff were polite & friendly. Clean eating areas.

My family & I stayed at Broadlands holiday village. We eat several times at the restaurant. We really enjoyed the food & ate outside with lovely views of the marina,

I like the atmosphere in here on an evening when there are no events on like quizzes or live bands.Its very relaxed and informal and puts you right at ease, but its not the same when there are events on.The food is also massively overpriced

We visited in late June, the staff were extremely helpful and considerate as a member of our party felt unwell in the restaurant. The bar staff especially Paul was extremely kind and the chef prepared a simple meal different to that on the main menu for our unwell visitor. The rest of the party could not fault the food or the service. Well worth a visit and reasonably priced

waited an hour to get food after ordering. The food was very good,well presented and reasonably priced.Very nice location

What a place to stay!! We had mist meals in the quayside .....excellent......the staff....grace and Beth are brilliant ....love the place ...love the staff....food to walk on water for !!!! Will we go back ? Hell yea!!

Absolutely lovely place. Can't fault the location, which displays a lovely view over the water. The food tastes lovely, is good value and portions are plentiful. Been here for both lunch and dinner and was impressed with both visits. It's a shame more people didn't know it was there!

We were staying at the holiday village and for our first night had dinner and drinks in the restaurant. We ordered the sharing platter to start and fish and chips for our main. We needed of bothered with the main as the sharing platter was more than enough. Great value for money, loving food and excellent service. Will definitely be back.

I had the fish an chips very nice loads of peas.I ordered a childs sausage and a childs scampi very generous portions will definitely visit again

Lovely food and lovely location. Very good value and good selection. Nice views and outside seating for warm days.

We visited Quayside Bar and Restaurant for a family lunch and most of us decided to go for the Carvery dinner, which was around £7 for one course or £10 for two courses. They also offered a variety of other dishes on their a la carte menu, and all seemed good value.There was a generous selection of vegetables in the carvery and the chef carved off a good sized portion of meat (they had gammon, beef and lamb on offer and you could choose any two of the three meats). The bar has Adnams ales on draught, which was tasty.Service was friendly and overall we enjoyed our meal. The only off-putting thing was a 15-minute raffle being run during our mealtime, which seemed a little odd for a Sunday lunchtime, but otherwise I was very pleased with the meal and would happily recommend it.

Meals were £9 each or 2 for £12. NO brainer. We had chicken with bacon and cheese melt, and steak and Adnams ale pie. Both excellent tasty meals and proper adult sized portions with appropriate vegetables. freshly prepared. clean and comfortable decor and friendly staff. will definitely return.

Went with my two children great value for money.play area just outside plus pirate ship.I didnt have dessert as to full.the children got a fab lolly included in meal price.All staff extremely friendly will definitely be returning
