The Waterfront Bar & Bistro in Wiltshire

this place ticks all the boxes atmosphere fun and relaxed, staff could not be more helpful and food was great all home cooked and great value for money...I would certainly go back. Thank you guys for making the evening a memorable part of our mini break..down stairs was closed down you have to go up stairs to the bistro so looks on the outside can put you off please give this place a chance

After a longish day on the boat it was a relief to revisit the Waterfront at Pewsey Wharf. The friendly welcome and the well kept and served ales were as good as we remembered. The food was delicious. We had arrived on Thursday ‘Supper Night’ where you order from a tempting list of mains and get your first drink included for a very reasonable £14.50. We ordered the battered haddock and skinny fries with homemade tartar sauce and petit pois. I really enjoyed the generous serving of perfectly cooked fish in crunchy batter with a generous portion of fries which remained crispy for the whole meal. (Fat chips are also available for some reason) We declined puds but they looked traditional and hearty. Pleased to thoroughly recommend this lovely, friendly, unpretentious pub/bistro.

Very warm and welcoming pub on the canal at the end of a beautiful walk over Martinsell Hill. Beautifully cooked pork ribs, fresh haddock in delicious light batter with samphire salad and extremely generous portions. Sharps ales on tap, very friendly staff and good chat with owner and chef, Keith.

Large pub with food. Loads of space inside, and even more outdoors right next to the K&A canal. Slightly shabby, but all the nicer and more genuine for that. Some real ale on cask too.

Great meal and nice atmosphere. Fish and chips were really good as where the fish cakes and vindaloo curry. Nice pint of beer, what’s not to like?

The food was recommended on our last visit for a drink so we came back and weren't disappointed - really great Thai Style Veggie Burger and a Chicken curry that was lovely. The food is all made to order and from fresh ingredients - very tasty indeed!

Visited the Waterfront after a walk. Very warm welcome, great friendly atmosphere, very attentive, we will definitely come back again.

Lovely location and really good menu that changes regularly. Crab and Lobster soup was fantastic served with fresh bread .

After reading some of the reviews on here, it’s hard to believe we were in the same place. So run down it’s embarrassing. Frontage tatty and unloved - no pretty tubs of flowers like in the photos. Garden unkempt, long grass, untrimmed hedges so no views. Dirty, mould-covered marquee covering most of the outside seating. Inside, the whole downstairs area was closed off including the toilets (tough if you’re disabled). Flight of stairs up to upstairs bar and then flight of external steps back down to garden. Bar was tired and dated, tables sticky, upstairs loos had no paper towels. Open for drinks only the day we went which wasn’t a problem as we certainly wouldn’t have eaten there. Such a shame as it’s in a location to die for.

Best pub meal in the UK by far! The ribs are to die for. Great stuff, fantastic location, all up a really lovely evening spent here!

11/6/23 We came here as a family meet up. This pub is beautiful and offers moorings for the boaters! The staff are so incredibly friendly and attentive, tables are clean and set. The food was absolutely outstanding. Homemade ketchup and mint sauce! We definitely will be returning soon. Thank you everyone who made our visit memorable in all the best ways. See you soon!

Went here today (30/04/23) and what a disappointment. The Sunday dinner came out with no Yorkshire pudding and when i pointed this out i was told it would be another 15 minutes….it never came. The stuffing was actually that cold i presumed it had come straight from the fridge. The vegetables were cold to touch and very few provided. When asked how was the meal and i explained it was cold and missing items the reply was ‘ohh i was never told that’ then nothing further was said. Terrible food, not much better service, no apology, waste of time and money.

Went in for a meal with two friends last night and tried the six hour slow cooked rib and can quite honestly say it’s one of the tastiest males I’ve had in a very long time absolutely delicious and great value for money..

Last year, we had one of the best Sunday lunches ever at The Waterfront so this year we took a special detour to repeat the experience. The lamb meal was average at best with both the cauliflower and roast potatoes having a strange taste. The vegetarian option was a disaster and we should have sent it back. It was a beetroot wellington, overspiced with cinnamon. The chef could not find the dish (pre-prepared and frozen) and seems to have microwaved it - not a good move with puff pastry, and it was served as a rubbery mess of pastry surrounding something that tasted more of a hot-cross bun than a vegetarian roast. Sorry but we won't be going again.

The place is not running on all cylinders. I filled In the online contact form at the pub’s website to request a table for lunch on a Wednesday in March. Heard nothing back. Turns out the website is vestigial and the landlord doesn’t use it anymore. So when we got there after a 5-mile walk, the kitchen was closed and we could only have a drink and crisps. The cider was good though.

Perfect spot for lunch in the garden by the canal. Bar lady and cook couldn't have been more helpful. Great food and beer (Stonehenge). Very enjoyable!

Fantastic location for a pub on the canal. Went in for a drink and everything was out of stock (ales and ciders) so ended up with a lager and a diet coke. The bar lady, who wasn't very friendly, and wasn't "rushed off her feet as per the comments below" was more interested taking someone around on a tour as "this will be a house", so is the plan to run the pub down and claim "it's not viable" so it can be turned into residential accommodation? Great pub if it were run properly.

Nigel and his team were more than accommodating when we booked a baby shower for my sister. He closed off the downstairs area so we could decorate as we wished. The food was delicious. Can’t recommend enough super friendly, great food.

The croque Madame was amazing, great thick bread, proper thick chunky ham, loads of cheese. We have eaten so many of these over the years and this was simply the best ever 👍🏻 proper Heinz ketchup & the icing on the cake was a biscuit with the coffee, fabulous friendly service too, well done 👏

We arrived in Pewsey village on our barge, a group of 4, we moored up and looked forward to having a nice pub meal on the canal waterside. After visiting the waterfront bar and bistro at 5.30pm to enquire about the menu and availability of eating that evening, we were told that there was no menu to look at as the chef was not in until 6pm, once the chef was in, we were told we could then come back and veiw the menu and it would be fine for us to eat that evening. We returned to the pub at 7pm , only to be told that 2 other tables of 4 people had booked prior to us returning, and after checking with the chef the bar maid was told to say to us that there was no room or food available for us to eat, we had no food on board the barge, so we were recommended by visitors in the pub to try the local Indian restaurant. It was a 15 minute walk into Pewsey, with one of our group of 4 poorly and unable to walk very far, but once there , we had an excellent meal and we highly recommend the Tale of spice Indian restaurant, they could not have been more helpful and the food was delicious.

Unbelievable experience! Never happened to me before! Do not bother going here. Arrived before 7pm to be told they could not accommodate our party of 4 because they had TWO other tables booked. Had actually called in at about 5.30 to view the menu which...

If you like poor service then the Waterfront is recommended. Go in about 5.30pm and ask to see the menu - to be told there isn't one available until the chef arrives at 6pm and starts cooking so come back later. You go back shortly...

Quirky decor and very welcoming. Excellent food and good bar. An absolute gem of a place. Recommend pre booking. Thank you to the lovey staff!

My sister and I enjoyed lunch together at the Waterfront Bar & Bistro on Easter Sunday & Monday. As always, we found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful, with attention to detail. We were impressed by the vegetarian options on the menu, our...

Characterful canal-side premises with a good wood fire and cheerful staff. Sunday roast was very good with a generous portion of beef (very rare) and a hearty plateful of vegetables. The vegetarian dish was equally good with a flavoursome nut roast. Too full to justify...

We do not know the area at all so took a chance on visiting and glad we did! We rang the day before to book a table however it was quiet when we arrived but got much busier. Staff were helpful and attentive, the barmaid...

So good. I had beef, he had belly pork. Six different vegetables alongside the tenderest meat and roasties. My sister is the best cook I know, especially with a roast. This one was easily a contender.

Nice traditional food in pub atmosphere good food, located on the canal bank at Pewsey.good outside seating area. Friendly locals.

Situated on the towpath of the Kennet & Avon Canal this seemed a good place to stop for refreshment in passing by along the towpath at 2 pm on Sunday Sept 12th 2021. We were told that because the pub was so busy no food...

I visited the pub and bistro with no expectations and was blown away by the food! I had the butter chicken and it was cooked to perfection, followed by a Biscoff cheesecake which was to die for. Compliments to the Chef. Best cheesecake I've ever...

First thing to note is that the car park out front doesn’t belong to the pub so you have to pay to park. We decided to eat lunch outside so didn’t see the inside other than to walk through. The garden is basically a lawn...

We booked for 6 of us on a trip along the Kennet Canal, which proved to be an excellent choice. I think they were a bit short staffed but the friendly efficient staff coped well despite Nigel the landlord having the evening off. Great beer...

Delicious Sunday Roast lunch in nice surroundings Staff could not do enough for us. Maz the chef was a delight Very friendly and catered for my IBS brilliantly. Could not recommend enough. THANKS. 😀 Sammy

Lovely setting sitting by the canal side. Very prompt and friendly service. A super meal once again. Mahousive plate of ribs and fries, Chicken Madras and side bits so good. Many thanks to Nigel and his team.

Myself and my other half stopped in to get a drink after a lovely walk. It looked lovely and it was a welcomed break from the heat. We asked if we could have a drink without eating and was told to find a table outside....

The food here is always great and the welcome warm. We had lovely roasts yesterday: pork, lamb and chicken. All cooked to perfection with fresh and varied veg. One of our favourite places for food.

2 chefs phoning in ill on the day of my grandson’s 18th birthday lunch with me must have felt like a nightmare scenario for a Saturday. He has severe learning difficulties but the staff interaction with him was lovely and made him very happy. Well...

Lovely afternoon . Good food , lovely atmosphere . The Waitress Jess was so helpful and accommodating :)

Banging food, banging service and bang on time! Conclusion: proper banging. Thank you for providing our family Easter lunch.

Wow, the food was absolutely amazing! Such great value for money and unbelievably tasty! We would highly recommend.

Throughout the lockdowns of 2020 and now this one in 2021, The Waterfront have provided our family with around 25 different (and fabulous) meals! Every meal is made with fresh ingredients and packaged thoughtfully. Favourites in this house include: sticky ribs; Mac Nige’s burger; scampi; Goan curry; venison curry; chilli chicken curry; stockman’s pie; mussels. The best accompaniment by far is their coleslaw - we always end up fighting over it!! Definitely our favourite local venue and they were really helpful during self-isolation- making deliveries to keep us going! Highly recommend.

Called and ordered 2 bbq ribs a curry and 2 burgers.Delivered bang on time, charming delivery man.Food piping hot and all meals delicious, it appears that the menu changes regularly, please don't change it too much as we all agreed, we will have the same next week.Great value and great portions.All packaging recyclable, nice touch and a pleasant change.Thanks from all the family.

From the moment we walked in we felt like we shouldn’t be there, we had our dogs with us. We were seated upstairs and the waitress came to take our order after about 20 mins of waiting. All ok. We were almost finished our mains when another dog came in (naturally they all bark and say hello) they were then quiet again. The waitress came over to tell us is the dogs weren’t quiet we’d have to put them in the car!!! I cannot believe that any human being would think that is acceptable? With all the dog thefts and over heating of dogs in the car. If you can’t handle a few barks then don’t allow dogs at all! We left very cross and wouldn’t go back! Which is a shame because we’ve met at this half way point a lot, I’m sure there are other places to eat in the village

If you enjoy a real pub serving excellent real Ale and delicious food do as we do visit Nige and Nicky at The Waterfront Bar. If you like Curries Niges for me are the best.If you enjoy fresh fish it is usually on the menu, which is often my choice.Niges Sticky Toffee pud takes some beating.

It was the last stop of out canal holiday. We missed it on the way out, and I am glad we did, as we certainly saved the best for last. Amazing home made food. The rins were great and the homemade barbecue beans were something else. The bar & bistro serves traditional pub food but it is cooked exceptionally well and is certainly not your normal run of the mill pub grub. I would come here again and again.Add to that exceptional and attentive service at the table there is simply nothing to fault.Thanks for an amazing meal out. Shame about the arsenal!!

Ordered 2 of Nigies Double Cheeseburgers with Bacon, Fries & Slaw on a busy Friday night. Burger was epic - two huge quality beefburgers, proper cheese, crispy bacon, relish etc, all in a decent bun. Crisp, clean slaw, hot & crunchy fries + a bonus dressed salad.Could not fault it & nearly couldn't finish it! 10/10

Had a wonderful take away nut roast, it was huge and every mouthful was a taste explosion. We will be back again soon!

Excellent food and a warm welcome. Highly recommend for dining in and takeaway food. Lovely, seasonal menu with something new to try all the time, and great value for money

I had a takeaway from this place, a king prawn goan curry with rice and tempura monkfish and roti on the side. What can I say it was epic. I didnt manage to finish it all as it was a proper portion. The people, food and service was top notch. Returning next week im sure.

Friendly place, cozy atmosphere and good beers by the canal. Good quality and value pub grub with generous helpings - my excuse was I walked a long way that day so was entitled to eat such a massive amount of chips. They took COVID restructions seriously but not obtrusively.

A lovely canal side pub, with plenty of atmosphere and good food, coupled with helpful and friendly service makes his a very worthwhile place to visit. Definitely on our agenda to revisit.

Had Sunday lunch here.Rare beef and slow cooked pork belly.Both dishes exceptional.Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes to die for. Four perfectly cooked vegetables really nice gravy with a different one for the pork, the pork and chorizo stuffing and cheesy leeks also a very pleasant surprise.Pint of landlord and a coke £32.00 for two.Very covid aware with signage, sanitisers, and well briefed staff and efficient contact tracing for non members.Great idea we are now members.

Had probably the best curry I’ve ever eaten on a recent visit to the Waterfront. Goan King Prawn and tempura Monkfish curry! Difficult to describe how good it was! So tasty. Cooked perfectly! Really is a must try dish. My complements to chef Nigel!

First time visit, wonderful staff very helpful, Food was amazing,very big portion great price. Lovely clean place.

Had a takeaway from the Waterfront last night choose the Ribs and I have to say what a generous portion well cooked that fell off the bone all well packaged thanks team

We were a large family group that hadn't booked for Sunday lunch. The owner was really helpful and got a large table set up for us in the front of the property. They are very Covid aware and all our details were taken which was good.The staff are friendly and the menu was just what we wanted. We had a mixture of Veggie skewers, ribs, fish and chips and plaice in cockle sauce. Everything was well cooked.We would definitely come back if we are in Pewsey again.

We visited the Waterfront Bar and Bistro while holidaying in the area. The venue couldn’t have been more accommodating; they set up an outside table with no forward booking for our large party...six adults, two teens, two small children and two dogs! COVID restrictions were well adhered to, with our details logged, sanitizer inside and out and table service. The staff and owner were friendly and welcoming, and even got in contact after our meal to let us know our littlest family member had left her teddy behind! The food was great and we will definitely return next time we are in the area. Thanks again to Nige and his team

Can’t really say much, the guy who served us was ok. Just had cokes. Bit pricey to say the least. On the good, nice gardens to sit in.

Good Covid secure venue for lunch sat outside by the canal. Excellent food, beer and service thanks.

5 veg, beautifully cooked meat (chicken and beef), yorkshires and delicious gravy. Delivered to the door by friendly staff. We will visit this restaurant when the lockdown is over, to try some more wonderful food.

Wowza...... the most amazbals place...!! Soooo the best take away we’ve had..!!! Burger to die for .. Nige’s Chicken Tikka Marsala... well words aren’t not enough..!!! Bloody gorgeous..!!! Love ‘n this place and I know you will too..!!! Hip hip horray for the team at ‘ The Waterfront’

We just had an amazing take away from The Waterfront Bar & Bistro. We had the beef burger with cheese & bacon, sticky ribs and fish & chips. Could not fault it one bit, absolutely delicious!! We will be back!

Been several times and every time the food is amazing, staff are super friendly and helpful. I've had all sorts of food here burgers,roasts, fish and chips and all of it has been top notch. Amazing value for money

Collected 3 roasts from The Waterfront today (2 x beef and 1 lamb). I have to say, given the circumstances it was a fantastic meal. I had the beef with roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, swede,cauliflower and a large yorkshire pudding (gravy included). I was called a couple of hours prior to collecting to run through the procedure to ensure safety in terms of social distancing. The meals came in takeaway tubs on collection tucked safetly into a bag. I've eaten inside the bistro on a few occasions and the meals are amazing. Once this pandemic is over, I shall be trying to book a table asap! As a side, Nigel and his team are currently resourcing produce and supplying to the local community in these testing times. Well done and thank you for your support.

Had a lovely Sunday roast of beef with all the trimmings was delicious shall be returning Thanks to you all

Well done to Nigel, Nic and the team for providing takeaways during the Covid 19 crisis. Easy to order and collect, and delicious food. We will be back again. (Written by Dawnage’s husband)

Delicious food (as always!) and nice cosy canal side atmosphere. Will have to come again soon. Cheers Nige!

Very helpful service and home cooked food. A different menu each week. With a drink on the house it's great value for a tenner.

The food, beer and service were all first class. The Friday night meal deal is amazing value. Try it!

£6.50 for soup AND a sandwich - what good value. Couldn't fault the food, friendly service and excellent 'rocky' playlist.

Really friendly, and excellent food. A constantly varying menu, with something for everyone. Curried game soup makes for a great lunch on a soggy grey winter day. Beers very well kept, and great views across the Wiltshire countryside. Cannot recommend this place enough.

After two and a half years living away from Pewsey, we were excited to return to the Waterfront. It was just as if we hadn’t left as things were as good as we remembered. We thoroughly enjoyed our food - after some difficulty in making a choice we narrowed it down to mussels and risotto which were delicious, but the whole menu looked fantastic and we saw many other happy diners enjoying their meals!

Back in July 2019 I left a review titled ‘an unfortunate shame’ after a poor experience at the waterfront. Nigel replied offering a Sunday lunch on the house, which we only recently saw. Whilst we didn’t leave the review with the purpose of a free meal, we took them up on their offer today as we wanted to give them another chance!

After a long walk with the dog, we decided to have a stopover at the waterfront. What can I say this pub is in a great location overlooking the canal and the wonderful scenic Pewsey valley. The pub itself is nice and cosy and has a wood burning fireplace which is very handy if the weather is a bit wet and dull. This pub benefits from brilliant beer choices on tap and excellent level of service from its staff. We will definitely be coming back!

Very welcoming atmosphere, good selection of beers on tap. The barman apologised that there was only a restricted menu as they were in between chefs but in spite of this they produced an excellent meal.

Really friendly, good food and lots of it. Comfortable and caters for all, vegetarians too - the home made veggie burger is second to none, and I’ve had a few! Lobster bisque and crevettes were really excellent. Hubby loved the ribs. Dogs on leads are welcome. Short but steep flight of stairs to access the dining room, so not suitable for everyone. It’s not fine dining, nor does it pretend to be, it’s good honest food, varied menu, served by lovely staff in a barge-like decorated dining room/bar. Good size car park. Make sure someone in your party is reasonably sober on your exit - canal very close by!

Wow! hope you have a good appetite as you will need it, excellent food we had a good mix from the menu on Sunday and plenty of it excellent service the staff could not do enough for you. Very cosey atmosphere although the weather outside was pretty grim the atmosphere inside was great. our first visit and it will not be our last. Our thanks to all the staff for looking after us so well. I wish now I had taken a photo. nearly forgot, Excellent beer.

Nice cafeteria in a great canal-side location. Very good lunchtime menu and good service. Worth a visit

Bumped into this bistro and bar during a lovely canal walk with the dogs.

Great beer and friendly and helpful staff and regulars We did not eat but the food looked good. Nigel the butcher also trades from the premises. Excellent pork and sausages

Went for a really nice walk along the canal and stopped off at the Waterfront, looked to be a really nice country pub. Was surprised to see it was a “bistro”, as menu was - roast, burger or a roll. Ordered a roll and chips and “halloumi burger”. Was disappointed when the food came to find the chips had been really overally salted, had the stalk of a lettuce on my plate for salad, ham and mustard roll was dripping with mustard and a halloumi burger was a thin slice of halloumi cut in two.. also noticed when ordering the chef shouting at waiting staff which made the experience awkward. Felt like was in an episode of Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares. Lovely venue with loads of promise and just a bit meh.

We were on route from Warminster back to Swindon and I made a detour to come here, I have eaten here once before, had lunch with my boss, so I thought I would treat my stepfather.

We were going to eat here today as on holiday in the area and stumbled across it during a walk along the canal. Arrived 10 minutes before opening and staff member, who I can only assume was the landlord, was very rude and unwelcoming - left with distinct impression this was a locals only pub

It is all to infrequent you visit a pub and have such a nice meal. The rise of "gastro pubs" such as spoons and the ilk have made finding something like the waterfront a real treat. The food is exceptional. I have visited a few times and had the roast which was special, the burger on a monday night is a proper piece of cooking and the mussels are to die for. The service is prompt and friendly without being overbearing like is too often seen as the mark of good service. The beer is good and varied and in the winter the roaring fire is a pleasure. Beware you may spend considerably more time here than you anticipate.

We met in Upavon stopped for coffee and decided we would lunch in Pewsey near The Kennet and Avon canal where we could walk before and after our lunch. We booked a table at The Waterfront Bar & Bistro. The car park charges £1 for 4 hours. We had time to spare and we set off to walk along the towpath. The pub is great it is an old building with lots of character and ‘characters’. The staff and locals are very friendly. We ate in the bar upstairs at a circular table with a lovely view over the countryside. The Sunday roasts were excellent and very generous helpings. I had beef, the others in our party ordered beef and lamb. I can recommend the rhubarb crumble to follow. We walked in the other direction along the towpath and returned to the pub garden for an ice cream at the booth in the garden that also includes a small shop, great for barge owners and walkers.

Fine stop on our way from the Cotswolds to Stonehenge. Quick service and tasty sandwiches and spare ribs! We enjoyed the garden with view on the river!

Came here around 6 weeks ago and had the lamb burger and i've been raving about it since! Then booked a table for last Sunday night for dinner and was very excited. We had 4 roasts and 1 burger. The food came quickly. The burger was fine. Unfortunately the roasts were a different story. The gravy was as thin as water and tasteless, the carrots were so raw you could snap them (I like slightly crunchy veg but this was completely raw), the yorkshires were very dry and the majority of each parsnip was complete charcoal. The lamb meat was slightly overcooked and not pink but was delicious. The broccoli was fine.
