The Waterbridge in Charnwood

Escogimos Waterbridge para el velatorio de mi mamá después de que nos lo recomendaran y no nos decepcionó. Annette fue extremadamente servicial de principio a fin. Las instalaciones son preciosas, la comida era absolutamente genial, tan amable y acogedor. Hicieron un momento y día difícil mucho más fácil. gracias x

Booked for daughters baby shower on recommendation.. any message was answered promptly.. afternoon tea beautiful; cash only bar wasn’t a problem. Host attentive and made everyone welcome.. would recommend

We visited The Waterbridge this afternoon for a friends baby shower & right from organising it the whole experience was a pleasure. The lady (Annette) was so lovely and so helpful. The afternoon tea was delicious and the service was perfect. Brilliant afternoon was had by all! Thanks again Annette!

Great Venue for special occasions! We visited for afternoon tea for an 18th birthday party and we had a great time! Food was lovely, staff were amazing! Couldn’t have been a better experience!

I attended my first psychic evening here and what a great night! I went along with a group of work friends,having not been to one before I was sceptical as I’ve had bad experiences with tarot card readers, spiritualists etc ripping me off in the past and I feel that it’s easy these days to imitate someone genuine to the spirit world. Anyhow I was truly impressed by the owners choice I had an impressive read by a lady who I will contact for a private read soon; as clearly at these evenings there are a lot of guests to get through so it’s not all about me. The food was great we were advised that it would be a cold help yourself buffet on this evening and there was something for everyone! Everything was clearly handmade and a good variety of choice to, including vegetarian options. They catered a vegan lady on our table separate to the buffet table and her food looked as yummy as ours 😋 compliments to the chef and to the owners this was a good value for money evening enjoyed by all of us 😀

I’m all for championing local independent businesses and we’ve visited here many times for breakfast evening meal and now psychic night. From our experience It’s losing its way quality wise. Sadly The food was v disappointing. Small portions, choice of scampi n chips or chilli on nachos. Followed by fruit salad or scone for dessert? The scones were black underneath and rock hard. The order was wrong despite pre ordering. Food was lukewarm and chips soggy. The place was too packed making it difficult to hear the psychics. You were unable to get out easily from your seat and there was water coming through the ceiling. They don’t take cards so you have to go to cashpoint to get money. The mark up on wine Prosecco is high especially when it’s obvious it’s from Aldi or the co op. Very irritating. We did eat the food as we were all starving but wouldn’t be in a rush to return. Didn’t feel it was good value for money, Prefer to pay a bit more and get decent quality psychic night. Plenty to choose from locally now. Will also choose another breakfast venue too going forward as the experience was not too dissimilar to above, average quality.😔 let’s hope things get back to how they were before, maybe that chef had moved on?

Lovely place right on the canal Lovely food and staff. My friend had allergies and vacated very well for her Would definitely visit again

Fantastic food! We all had something different for our breakfast and loved! 5 empty plates and that says it all really! Great service and a beautiful place to eat! Very happy, Thank you x

Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday following a recommendation form a friend, but sadly will not be giving same recommendation as very disappointed. Arrived at about 1 to find a note stuck to front door saying no card paying facility and directing you to coop across street which had cashpoint. On entering and asking for a table for two, we were told we would have to sit at a large table as they were setting up for a party of 15. But we were directed to a small table at the far end of the restaurant adjacent to where they were setting up for the party! Our drinks order was taken, and despite asking for ice in my coke, it was warm the ice cube was practically melted. We ordered fish pie, and despite steam coming off my husbands, mine was cold. The waiter returned it to the kitchen, but left me with my luke warm vegetables, which were quite greasy. The fish pie was returned hot, but was quite bland. As the party people arrived, we felt in the way, and as soon as we had eaten, got the bill and left. The staff were pleasant enough, but didn't find it welcoming.

Visited again for family breakfast after Christmas. As always fantastic food and fantastic service!! Will be back soon 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

We visited the restaurant for coffee and cake. My husband needed gluten free only had chocolate brownie l had Victoria sandwich which priced at 5,95 I think is very much overpriced. Will not be returning.

The Waterbridge is very nice inside and the food and drink is exceptionally good value for money. However, just average and this is the second time we have visited and both times they didn't have us down as booked in. Just needs fine tuning and perhaps more training for the waitresses.

Treated to afternoon tea by a friend for my birthday. We planned to book a table for 3.30pm as she works everyday until that time. Not realising that is closing time. Really couldn’t believe the wonderful offer of the lovely owner to accommodate us on this occasion by serving us at 3.30. A delicious array of sandwiches,cakes and scones accompanied by prosecco! Have also eaten here for lunch and dinner. All excellent and great value. Cocktails are good too. This is just what we’ve been waiting for in Whetstone. Thank You.

Perfect staff , Perfect food , not felt rushed just PERFECT in every way !!!! We will definitely be returning again

We popped in for breakfast just after 9 am were seated quickly , our orders taken and food arrived swiftly and was lovely , all the staff were very friendly and polite , we will use again soon

Eaten here tonight for the first time. Very tasty and very reasonable prices - I had steak my friend had sea bass. Very friendly staff, very willing to substitute items e.g. I asked for green veg instead of onion rings. Puddings were delicious and gluten free friendly. Highly recommended for the local area.

Been several times with friends and family. I think it’s very reasonably priced. You can tell the food is cooked fresh. I’ve had a full English, pancakes, the burger and a posh fish finger sandwich. Rate all of them. The food is excellent. Waitresses are always very friendly.

Had coffee and cake that was ok but vastly overpriced and the service was poor. I will not be using again.

Booked the water bridge for 10 people for a late breakfast,when we arrived the tables were all set menu in place for each person.Our party arrived in dribs and drabs but drink orders were taken as soon as you were seated. Once all the party were seated we ordered our breakfast.Some people had the large(huge) full English others panini and eggs royal.The breakfasts all came out together which was nice.The breakfasts didn't disappoint and there were no complaints and everyone saying how good the full English breakfasts were! Well worth the money but if you didn't want to tackle a huge breakfast there was the option of a smaller version.Very nice friendly staff,definitely worth another visit.

Found metal in omelette which was from cleaning brush so plates not rinsed or dried properly. Was given £1.50 off bill as compensation. Not an appropriate response.. Will not be going back

Had a fabulous jacket potato, salad and a lovely glass of wine- very pleasant surroundings, what a find in Whetstone!

Came here with a friend for breakfast, it was very cold inside and didn't warm up much in the 2 hours we spent here. It was February though so, kind of expected I guess.

Good menu with plenty of variety. Cosy, contemporary feel. Good range of children meals making it an ideal choice for families.

Recently opened cafe with quirky decor and friendly staff. We decided to try out this cafe for Saturday lunch. It seats around 50 people and was about a third full on a wet, cold day. We were asked where we'd like to sit and opted for a table away from the door but the table was near the door to the kitchen. The position was draughty and noisy when the coffee grinder and milk shake machines were operated. We ordered chilli and jacket potato which came with cheese, coleslaw and a good salad garnish. The chilli was very mild but it was reasonable value at £7.95. The pot of tea was huge- 3 cups full each. The piped music was a little loud but tasteful. Service was prompt and attentive. Would visit again. Wheelchair access would be a little tricky as the decking up to the door slopes to ground level but is narrow where there is a post so it would be a squeeze for a big wheelchair unless there is access through the back.

Lovely new cafe, me and my partner both ordered the large breakfast and it was definitely large! Great value for money.

Went for lunch after recommendation but quite disappointed. Ordered jacket potato firstly had no butter when ordering was asked if we wanted butter and said yes. The potato was just lukewarm,and the prices are rather expensive £2.20 for a cup of tea and £7.95 for jacket potato which for a cafe is on the high side. Was asked how things were at end and did advise waitress who did apologise but that’s it.

I visited with my family on New Years Eve for breakfast. We were not disappointed in the quality of the food. My husband ordered the large breakfast, I had the vegetarian breakfast and my children had a child's breakfast. The portions are huge and great quality, well cooked and good quality. The service is very good and overall, superb value for money. It does get very busy at weekends so doesn't hurt to book. Looking forward to our next visit.

Had a fantastic large breakfast here on Christmas Eve Filled up for the day on this. Only down side where the drinks could do with coming with refillable tea or coffee. But will definitely be returning.
