The Waterside Inn in Adur

Good pub mainly for local people.

A pub for all tastes. Football and sports fans on one side and those wishing to escape that, quieter areas to talk or take in the views of shorreham and the adur River. Lots of outside seating also. Food is reasonable, staff are fantastic,helpful, friendly and polite.

Excellent service & pricing. Good atmosphere and clean. Can't fault it, recommended.

Lady server was very polite and helpful

Came here with my mates that I hadn't seen for a while I had a lovely afternoon the service was excellent and the food was very nice I had the steak and ale pie with mash will defo be coming bk again

First visit in years. Much better!

Good food at affordable prices served by a team of hard working friendly staff, very dog friendly with good selection of lagers and plenty of sport on the big screens

The pud was ok.but I don't think there shef nows how to cook a fryed egg . They was both burnt on the bottom of them.however my friends burger was grat

Picture the scene. It’s Saturday night in Shoreham and it’s cold and dark and you venture over the river to a Greene King chain pub that clearly states food is served until 2100 and you arrive at 1930 to be told no more food for walk ins. I challenged the chap in specs as to why this is the case on a Saturday. He said we normally stop doing food at 1930-2000 on a Saturday. Really? Are you sure about that? He was rude about it too. Off we walk in the cold to find some other food. What a joke. Greene King is a moneymaking machine and I’m sure they’d hate to hear of this practice. The spectacled chap isn’t a landlord after all and is answerable to the higher powers. I’ve therefore contacted head office to see what they say and will update my reply based upon what they say so for transparency purposes. To further note the pub was half empty too so capacity isn’t an issue. I’ll look forward to updating the world as to what head office say. All in all rude unhelpful staff and not worth your time. We popped to the Swiss Cottage who happily fed us and were much more friendly. A cautionary tale for everyone there. Update. Here’s my reply from head office. Dismissive at best. A company with contempt for the customer: Following our investigation, we have found that unfortunately, both sites did not have the efficient staffing to keep the kitchens open for the usual amount of time during your visit. I would like to apologise for the misinformation you found online but regrettably, it was not possible to change the website on such short notice, leading to the confusion you experienced. Please know that this is something that we will look into to ensure that a similar incident does not reoccur in the future.

Nice friendly Staff, good atmosphere and surroundings, good well cooked food that is very reasonably priced. My favourite Greene King IPA Beer is great value plus their Coffees are well made. Cannot fault it except during the week I would have liked the kitchen to be still open to take orders at 8.00pm and not 7.30pm.

The Waterside is a nice pub with a friendly atmosphere - but my lunch was not good. I had a steak pie slice with mash and peas. The meat on the cut sides of the slice was almost black - not freshly cut, dried out and going hard. The mash was a nice sized portion but was clearly not fresh and had started to solidify. I was treated to the meal by my daughter and felt it out of place to complain. I will return for a drink but avoid eating there.

Once again our party of eight enjoyed a lovely meal at the waterside Shoreham the staff are friendly and the prices are reasonable however our visits have been spoilt for several months now by the fact that we have been unable to order tea and coffee because the machine keeps breaking down we even took our own milk and teabags this time thinking that we could get hot water to make our own but sadly this was not possible because the hot water comes from the same machine. Two of our party are disabled and look forward to a cup of tea and the rest of us would like to enjoy a cup of Coffee after our meal. We feel sorry for the staff members who are continually having to apologize for the broken machine and have the added stress during very busy times. Sadly we have decided to go elsewhere for our meal next month but hope to return to waterside when and if the problem machine is permanent replaced. Thank you once again to the hard working staff who always serve us well.

Lovely pub..Lovely atmosphere and lovely barmaid . HIGHLY recommended I live locally but the first visit to this old school pub

Great customer service, great bare staff, great atmosphere, great service, all round great pub

Love this pub, very lucky to have it on our doorstep! Great food, great value, and topped off with friendly staff. Also dog friendly.

Great food, real value for money and the staff is fantastic.

Popped in to watch the rugby. Lovely friendly staff, and my favourite San Miguel on tap. Decided to order some burgers. OMG they were Huge! Really tasty, amazing value. Lovely family friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended. Xx

Reasonable bar prices,food is good.

Decent cheap pub food, friendly service, good portions... For the money... really decent.

Popped in on Christmas morning as staying locally. It was very busy and full of atmosphere. I asked a young man if my partner and I could share his table. He kindly agreed. We then all enjoyed an interesting conversation. It was a delight to meet such an interesting local. Cheers 🍻

Booked ahead and our table was exactly as requested, in view of the football and dog friendly. Greeted on arrival and the dog was given water and a treat (more than 1 ). We had 2 classic meals for £12, scampi and mac n cheese, perfectly good pub food. Beer was Tribute so all good there. Would recommend this pub

This pub enjoys a prime beachside location, positioned just beyond the river footbridge from Shoreham's bustling high street. A family-friendly establishment, it warmly welcomes dogs and boasts an amiable staff. The culinary offerings align with traditional pub fare – honest, well-priced, and generously portioned. Noteworthy is the bar menu, ideal for those seeking a swift pint and a round of pool, complemented by the added amusement of a dart board. The libations are reasonably priced, consistent with the standards along the Sussex Coast, if not marginally more economical. Awarding it a 3 out of 5, this assessment reflects a commendable standing for a pub in Shoreham. While the ambience may occasionally lack vibrancy, such nuances are not uncommon. Its contemporary interior, accentuated by a spacious bar, contributes to its overall appeal.

Booked Christmas lunch here and I wasn’t disappointed. Absolutely perfect from start to finish . The welcome was warm , as was the pub on a filthy day! Service all through was fabulous, no delays at all and no wait for drinks despite a busy bar. All 3 courses of food were perfectly presented , hot and very tasty . Thank you to all involved, an excellent day !

We had a really lovely Christmas lunch and the service was first class. Great value. Highly recommend.

A friendly local pub with a great sports atmosphere and good food and drink deals. Would definitely recommend for the football!

Best pub in shoreham, great atmosphere the staff make it !

We go here often as our usual meal is tasty and reasonably priced, staff pleasant and it's always been nice & warm. Unfortunately our last 2 visits were disappointing and I can not find a way of contacting the owner. On Sunday we had the mushroom pie roast. The pie was heavy tasteless pastry with a few very chewy mushrooms. The veg was also tasteless and hard. ( in addition, roast potatoes, mash + pastry was not a good combination given the small amount of other veg). Today, the door was locked open and an icy draught swirled around every table. I asked if I could close it and was told 'no', (no reason why). People on a nearby table were also complaining about the cold but ordered food. We left and returned to Hove. Will try again and hope that this new open door policy in winter is short lived.

Food was hot and fresh, very reasonably priced!

I visited here a couple of times in April 2023 for lunch. On both visits, I was super impressed with the value of the food. The build-your-own burger was particularly good. I also really enjoyed the giant sausage and mash. Staff were also very friendly. If you're looking for a cheap eat and drink, I'd thoroughly recommend here.

Popped in here as we'd heard how reasonable it was for the 3 course senior meal. The food was really good. Will 100% be going back in the very near future

So many items on the menu are not available any more. Some of us ordered the curry, one curry had only 4 pieces of chicken and then no onion bhaji available no all day breakfast available - I could go on. We have been told that the menu is changing but this since the beginning of September. Totally unacceptable.

We had been recommended this Greene King pub by several friends, so we thought we'd give it a go, and I have to say we weren't disappointed, mostly I believe by the efficiency and friendly service from Jevan....he went above and beyond to make out lunch just great. He was mostly serving food, drinks and clearing tables by himself. The food came out in super quick time, very tasty indeed and piping hot....Perfect. It's human nature alot of the time to complain when something isn't right, however, I'm a great believer in praise too. Jevan you are a credit to Greene King, and they are extremely lucky to have you I must also give massive thanks to whoever was in the kitchen....as you're brilliant too. Shall be returning very, very soon. 😊 Thanks

Would have got a 5 but no cream flow bitter.

Regularly visit the Waterside, very dog friendly with a great range of food and drink. The staff are always really accommodating, would definitely recommend!

Came here for a family lunch food was excellent, very affordable, great variety and was served quite quickly from when we ordered. Great location on a nice day to sit outside and near to the beach too which was ideal. We was served by Leanne, 10/10 she was extremely efficient and polite, she made us feel very comfortable and welcomed during our visit as well as ensuring we had everything we needed. Would recommend for food and drink.

Me and my friend went to the waterside last week and it was an absolutely lovely experience. The drinks are well priced and it has a very friendly vibe. I was served by a lovely lady whom I think was called Lee-Anne (could be wrong) and her service was so helpful and she was so polite and welcoming! With a lovely big smile! I would definitely come back :)

What can I say? This is a great place to get in out of the rain. We saw the Lionesses humiliate Australia in the World Cup semi final which was great, but the pub just left the volume turned up to a noisy level even though no-one was watching it anymore. We couldn’t hear each other without yelling.

Had a day out with friends in shoreham,we decided to start our day at the waterside.we decided that we would have lunch there before moving on,great decision!! I had lasagne,one had katsu chicken and 2 had the fish and chips…absolutely fantastic 😊we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the service was great,many thanks to the team for making the start of our day out great

Such a surprise, we were expecting nothing (given that the pub is owned by a retailer) but the service is good, and the food is great. I mean, it's great if you just want to grab something affordable and tasty. Anyways I'll be back for sure.

Sadly Greene King have taken All Day Breakfast off the menu A great loss for us We won't go so often now

Not a bad pub which is part of Greene King. £4 a pint was good. Food stops at 19:00.

This is an interesting old hotel with an attractive facade. Inside there are a number of rooms where one can sit for a meal. We opted for the Seniors Special which was good value - a main and dessert for 5.49. One of us enjoyed Bangers and Mash while the other had Chicken Diane - both quite satisfying. The service was friendly and one member of staff displayed amazing tolerance cleaning up a large part of one room where a toddler was allowed to distribute his meal over the floor.

Have recently started coming here every week with my dad & his partner. We have enjoyed every meal. My dad wishes it was closer to him! They love the roast & the two for £11.99 deal. Today I had a build your own burger and I must say it was absolutely delicious. The staff are all so happy & friendly. We love it here!

Good pub. Friendly staff. Food is decent and good value for money. Plenty of tv's to watch football/rugby/cricket.

It's my old local. Saw a few friendly faces from the past.

Nice enough friendly waterside pub, but looking a bit 'tired', especially in the toilets. Food was perfectly fine, but slightly restricted menu due to an upcoming new menu.

A lovely pub, great beer and great food. At peak times, maybe a few more pair of hands behind the bar would not go amiss.

Really enjoyed a pint of cider and a chat with the bar staff

There was a time when you steered clear of this pub especiaily if you liked a good pint. That's changed for the better. The beer is well kept and the company is great. It's altogether a much tighter ship, well managed , and its just around the corner.

Good atmosphere but be prepared to be offered extras that aren't on the menu. Not discreet

Friendly staff and good food, plus the prices are good also. It's definitely a place where I would go again to rest during my bike trips.

Lively pub where the staff work hard to please.

Very good pub to Go & have a drink at nice food as well would definitely go back there again nice staff as well

This pub is big and designed to accommodate families, so don't expect fine dining and exclusivity. Do expect plenty of comings and goings, children, exasperated mums and some noise. Parking is easy and we were welcomed by friendly, efficient staff. There are chewing-gum machines, a permanently-on television, piped music and plenty of seating inside and out. The water it is 'beside' is not hugely discernible. The food was very pub-grub and really affordable, with two-for-one offers and a good selection. Pretentious it is not. The four of us enjoyed an assortment of well-cooked fish and chips, scampi, macaroni cheese and a tuna baked potato. The plates were hot and there was not a long wait. The bar staff were busy, but exceptionally pleasant and efficient; they could not have been more helpful. This venue is well-trodden and has a lively atmosphere. The loos needed a tidy but, overall, we enjoyed our stay and our meals. We are likely to return.

Nice spot for a quick pint after a 40km cycling session. Can't speak for the food, but the staff were friendly and offered prompt and courteous service for that much needed early afternoon pint before commencing the final 12km leg home! Will definitely visit again and grab a bite one day. Lovely picturesque location too

This is my favourite pub in shoreham! The atmosphere is great, staff really friendly and they show all sport. Don't eat very often but when I have done the food has been tasty and good value, would definitely recommend!

Came here with family the food was lovely defo recommend the fish and chips the service was amazing will defo be coming back thank you waterside

We never have much luck here so we rarely visit. We had family staying with us and they suggested popping in for dinner one sunny evening as we live close by and could walk down. My reply was... It's very hit and miss so maybe not but they wanted to try...we order drinks and look for a table before we see the sign... Only pre booked food available... Finished our drinks and went elsewhere.

Had a lovely meal with dad and family for Father’s Day the service was great will defo come back again thank you Leanne for great service thank you to Chris and kayligh kitchen for great food

Came here with family for Father’s Day had a lovely meal will defiantly be coming back again the service was great

Came here with my son and grandchildren .we had build your own burgers and the kids had chicken nuggets,chips and garlic bread. We sat in the outside garden in the sunshine ☀️ the food was served very quickly by the lovely lady who also took our order.everything was hot and delicious 😋 we will definitely be back…Thankyou!!

When we visit Shoreham, this is always our local.

Really nice pub but do need to update there opening times as they open at 12pm not 11am

This is our family friendly local, lovely staff, lovely food. And for when we don’t have the kids, we love the over 18’s side of the pub with pool table and darts etc. A***

Nice spacious pub. Dining area and eating in the bar. Garden area at the back by the river and seats out front. Also sports bar, TV, pool and darts. Seating area cleaned when customers leave. Good range of beers and extensive menu. Had a sirloin steak which was a bit chewy but overall the meal very nice. Friendly staff. Sat out front in the sun. Nice pint of Cornish bitter. Reasonable price.

Arrived and told kitchen shut we've been so busy ........ Won't try again !!!!

Great pub, staff are so friendly, two ladies who served me were so nice. Would definitely recommend and would definitely go back.

5 out 5 excellent service, polite staff and excellent food, brilliant pub easy to park, could ask for a better pub and service

Lovely food and staff was nice and friendly service great place if you want something to eat while watching the sunset go down or just watch the world go by

Excellent seniors three course meal for £6.50.

A good local pub, good atmosphere.

Good pun grub and nice atmosphere. Easy parking and really decent price for a pint!

Lovely place. Been a couple of times now and the food is great. Vegan options are fantastic. Staff are lovely and will b going as often as possible. Shame we don't live nearer! A great place

Very nice dog friendly pub busy inside we went in the beer garden with the dog there was another couple with a dog it was very pleasent.

Came to the waterside to celebrate my partners birthday, we all had such a great time! Affordable prices with a wide range of drinks to choose from! Staff were efficient, friendly and giving some great cheeky banter! I’ve been coming here a while now and everyone is always so professional! And the chefs are so good at their job the previous review from someone who isn’t a very nice person clearly doesn’t see how good ALL the team are at the waterside! call me biased but at least I can appreciate when I can see the hospitality industry are trying there best where possible! Keep up the hard works guys!! ❤️❤️

Always friendly staff. Fantastic food and excellent value for money. Dogs welcome and offered a treat!

LOVE THIS PUB!! Alway my go to pub for anything and everything sports. Lovely atmosphere and amazing prices for drinks. Pool table and dart board always makes a nice addition to the night. Would highly recommend if your looking for a sports pub that has...

Lovely pub , I've been many times and always enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere. Good in every aspect, great for families and a sports bar for adults only . Staff amazing 😊

Never go there the staff are rude and unhelpful the chef must be unqualified if he/she thinks the food served is acceptable it was cold and uneadable its not worth the money spent even though its cheap

We went for my sons 18th birthday, lovely meal and friendly staff

Had lunch at the waterside today, amazing food cooked - by Liam was fantastic enjoyed very much and bar staff Kayleigh was excellent to and very helpful

Chosen because it's dog friendly, lunch for 2, fish and chips, yummy 😋

Food was good and staff very friendly.

We came here on a random detour…would be happy for this to be my local!! Great atmosphere and very friendly and welcoming.shall definitely be coming back to try the cheese and potato pie😁(that’s my excuse)

All in all we had excellent service here and the menu was typical chain pub fodder - nothing to rave about but did exactly what we wanted it to do ! And prices were very low !! Couldn’t really fault !!

Great value and a lovely venue; my 89 year old mother loves it! Great for lunch.

Popped in for a quick drink before going into Brighton for a birthday meal out. The food looked so good we ordered here. My hisband had the chip shop platter which was huge and amazing value. My son had the build your own burger which...

Good location near harbour. Friendly, welcoming staff. Wide range of food available, very prompt service and great value.

Great food, quick service and even better prices.

Nettes Restaurant für einen kleinen Zwischenstopp beim bummeln. Die Burger waren super. Daher können wir das Rwstaurent

We have visited this restaurant before in other locations and found it good value and the food is good for the money. On the evening we visited the staff were very inattentive preferring to sit around talking rather than serving us. The food was fine, but we felt like we were being a nuisance to the staff. It took them a while to collect our plates after the main and by the time they came to ask if we wanted a sweet we were so fed up we just asked for the bill. Will not be returning.

Came here with family for a meal and drinks the meals were amazing can’t knock it at all staff were amazing always made sure we were ok will defo come back

Great value food. Friendly staff and to top it all perfect food. Definitely will be back.

Food was good cheaper than rest of the chains

Great food and service and plenty of sports. Good atmosphere and cheap beer prices.

Great place such a chilled atmosphere

I'm a very picky eater and I often find myself still being hungry when I leave place but not here I eat all my food and I enjoyed it so much very happy to say Ive finally found somewhere I can go out to eat and not leave hungry highly recommended for picky eaters and kids never seen my sisters finish a plate of food 🤣 I love it here
