The Waterside Terrace bar and restaurant in Broadland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We looked the the menu, but only wanted a sandwich, priced at over £11. We ordered a fish finger and a sausage sandwich. My fish fingers were lovely, my friend said her sausage was nothing special. I loved dogs, but there was a dog wandering around the restaurant whilst we were there. It would put a lot if people off

We enjoyed a delicious lunch yesterday. The food was very nicely presented. Perfectly cooked scallops, really tasty, spicy chicken wings (sometimes restaurants say food is going to be spicy but these had a good amount of heat) and my husband's fish pie was the best he'd ever eaten with plenty of fish and a lovely cheesy mash topping. The restaurant is very comfortable and service was spot on. We finished with some more wine and a coffee on the outside terrace on a warm October afternoon watching the boats go by.

We went here on our boating holiday we got the seafood cocktail at £10.95 to share as a starter, there was literally no prawn Marie Rose sauce 4 small prawns and a little smoked salmon, a unveined shrimp and the rest was large lettuce leaves. For mains I had the haddock and chips which was ok however my wife had the pork meatball linguini and there was nothing on the plate for £20!! We complained as there was only five small meatballs on her plate we were told this was the standard and after showing her real disbelief they brought my wife 5 more small meatballs. No table service either for this kind of money you have to go to bar and order!!! Overall a very poor experience, one which we will never be repeating.

I went for lunch today at the waterside terrace. On the website it says 12. 95 for haddock n chips . On the menu in the restaurant it was £17. So you need to update your website price menu. Next time I'll just have a drink then go on MC Donald's next door.

Excellent overlooking the sea excellent food and service steak and kidney pudding to die for family and dog friendly love it

Two sandwiches took about 40 mins to serve. The chef was completely unaware of main allergens in his food. The manager came out, was rude, interrupted the waitress and practically told us the chef wasn’t happy to serve us. Thankfully the waitress was amazing, checked and double checked everything for us and was really apologetic.

Food is overpriced, service is ‘interesting’. A starter of venison and pecorino ravioli is £9.50. For that you get two small (and I do mean small) ravioli swimming in a sea of melted truffle butter. Two ravioli for £9.50, it should have tasted amazing at that price. It was mediocre at best. To be fair, the rest of the meal wasn’t bad, it’s just overpriced for what it is. At these prices the Wroxham Hotel restaurant is competing with the nearby Norfolk Mead, and several very good restaurants in Norwich, and there is simply no comparison - the prices charged by the Wroxham Hotel restaurant are just not justified given the nearby competition. In terms of the service, the staff are friendly, but they’re just not ‘on it’ and lack basic courtesy. We were left hanging around on arrival, then we were put on a table next to a couple with a large dog - not a problem for us as we have dogs, but the staff weren’t to know that and should have asked before seating us. When we asked for the bill, we were left with the card machine whilst the waitress stood next to the table and had an extended conversation with one of her friends. She did apologise to us afterwards, but it was just rude to do that in the first place. It’s also a noisy restaurant, which makes it quite difficult for people who wear hearing aids. Some acoustic panels to absorb some of the sound would help. It’s a pity with this being a local restaurant to us that this was our experience, as we enjoy going out and don’t mind paying a bit more for a good dining experience. Unfortunately, the standard set when we dined there was well below the expectations we had given the prices charged.

Excellent breakfast and great service. Have only had the breakfast and coffees/cakes which have always been fantastic. Would definitely have a evening meal here next time we visit Wroxham!

Walked in today as a group of 9. Got sat quickly and drinks order taken quickly as well. Poor girl who brought the drinks over to us however clearly hadn't been communicated by the bar staff what the drinks actually were because she had no clue, not an issue though as we knew what they were. Got our food order taken within about 10 minutes and then half an hour later the waiter came out and told us that on the pizza they didn't have any pulled pork and asked if we still wanted the pizzas, no attempt at an apology though. They did and we waited a further 25 minutes for them to come out. We were panicking because we only had a couple hours on our parking and it was cutting it fine. When the food came out the Three Little Pigs pizza was missing half of it's ingredients on all three of them. They were supposed to have Chutney, Gherkins and Rocket which were non existent let alone the already missing Pulled Pork. The rest of the food was average at best and yet the prices were extortionate! No check back either to ask how our meals were and no attempt at offering us a second drink despite all the empties on the table. The waitress didn't look too happy when we left for not leaving a tip but why would we? You only get a tip for good service and great food, both were lacking today.

My wife and I had dinner here after a day out on the Broads. Our table, by the window was very pleasant with a good view of the river. Food and service were good and my wife's requirements for gluten-free food were fully understood and met. Prices seemed a fraction higher than in most decent places, but not to the point that I would not come back. Maybe we were lucky with the waiting staff we got, but I cannot level the sorts of criticism that I see on this site. There was really nothing to complain about and we will certainly return.

Sad to see the recent negative reviews. We always eat at this restaurant when we visit Wroxham, and have missed our trips during lockdown. We visited yesterday with friends, first of all for a coffee on the terrace before our boat trip, and we booked a table for lunch on our return. It was a little difficult finding staff at first but we found out later in the day why they were short staffed. In the present climate where many hospitality venues have had the worst 18 months imaginable, and are struggling to recruit and retain staff, we turn up to our favourite venues with no expectations, just happy they are still open and to support them until things settle down. So, drinks served swiftly and we relaxed on the terrace enjoying the view of the river. We sat outside again on the terrace for lunch - where all 4 of us enjoyed our meals - haddock and chips and a burger for my husband and friends, whilst I enjoyed the seafood assiette with a rather large portion of chips! Sadly that left no room for dessert. Service was excellent, waiters brought everything we asked for very quickly. Looking forward to a return visit soon, maybe for Sunday lunch.

We had lunch today and as usual the food was great, bar staff excellent as were the two girls that served us..... but the thing with the bluey grey hair was obnoxious from the start., Evil looks, being really loud and pushing past us etc, we asked for the bill and he slapped it down on the table (this is the short version of events). We arn’t sure what his problem was, maybe because we turned up whislt he was talking and he didn’t like it.. not sure... but this level of unprofessionalism is not the standard we are used to or expect from the Wroxham Hotel. It’s a shame as this would have been a 5 start review otherwise.

Visited today and this was the worst cappacino I've ever had, the latte was disgusting and more like dishwater! The hot chocolate was watery and tasted horrible. They are charging Costa coffee prices but would not recommend this place at all. If you want a decent coffee or drink go somewhere else. Complete rip off.

Lunchtime visit for both of us, looking for something different to tourist fare. Good , seafood cocktail, prawns, smoked & fresh salmon, but difficult to eat as container looked nice, but not user friendly with a knife & fork, good flavours. Scallops and a smoked salmon and haddock with a chowder sauce very good. Fairly good lamb cutlets, and passable pork belly

We were lucky enough to have a table outside so we could enjoy lunch while watching the river. We all had sandwiches, which came with fries and and made it onto a substantial meal. The service was excellent, friendly considerate staff . The burger looked...

It was a long time ago that I last visited here. I had met the manager recently and he invited me to come and visit. It was very busy but the staff were excellent. They paid attention to the needs of the customers. I felt safe and happy. The terrace was good and bright. It looked clean, I went for the Haddock and chips. Beautifully cooked, it was crisp but fluffy inside. Excellent. My lemonade was good as well. Attention to detail was good, I loved the fish and chip newspaper under my food. Well done. I chose a desert, sadly the fruit option was missing so I tried a different dessert. It was good but not really my choice. It was a bit small but delightfully presented, always important to me. I wouldn't have it again. Nothing wrong but not my choice. The staff were excellent. I had met Enrico the night before. I was served by Emma who was new, she was excellent. A good day out. i look forward to reading Enrico's review of Mc D'd!

Went to have a nice evening drink next to the river and decided to choose Hotel Wroxham. The place itself is nice but needs updating a little. However, we were not impressed at the way the manager Wendy, spoke to her staff. To say she...

Beautiful scenery but very disappointing food and atmosphere. Could have some nice background music for improving the vibe of the place, but the food was disgraceful. We order a simple bread and olives (£5) and crab sandwich (£13!!) And after nearly 20 minutes we got...

A bit of confusion with this review as there appears to be a name change taking place. It would appear that what was the Hotel Wroxham is now known as The Wroxham Hotel and I assume the Waterside Terrace Bar is a previous name. Who...

I went in the evening and It was very nice, it had quick service. I was full up but the end and even asked for a takeaway box (which I never do!!) highly recommend!

I did not stay in the Hotel over night guest told me that they had beautiful room and a fine breakfast! I stayed on the Norfolk Broards on the boat but ate and drank 4 nights in a row on the River side ! Main reason for Keep going back was because I was waited and attended to with lots of laughs from ENRIC if your lucky enough to have the guy wait on you then you guaranteed a warm welcome and excellent service ! Thavkyou ! Really makes a change to have fun staff he’s a credit to the Wroxham hotel ! X.

Went for a meal here with family . The service was appalling . I asked for a dog water bowl on the floor to be filled which was next to me and the waiter said it wasn’t a dog bowl ( it clearly was !...

We were staying B&B but impressed by both the quality of the breakfast and the view on to the river we had dinner here too and the food was excellent, well portioned and with an ample choice.

My wife and I had a meal at this establishment, There was a wide range of menu choices plus an excellent list of specials. The food was well presented, hot and delicious. The service was good and made a great evening

Popped into the restaurant for dinner. Shame it was so dark outside as lovely setting looking out over the water.Decent food for a good price. Nicely prepared. Duck was lovely and my wife had the new chicken dish which she enjoyed.Would visit again if in the area

Until a few years ago, we were regular diners here. The hotel then had a downturn, and we gave up.Wow, what a difference! A friendly greeting at the door followed by high quality professional service. The fish finger sandwich is a delight with three pieces of lightly battered fish, hand cut toasted bread and chips. Great. The moules my son had were generous and beautifully cooked.His fondant dessert was great.Nice to see an “old Friend” back to its best.

This is our second time here and we were attracted in because we moored up outside and were offered £10 off our mooring fees if we ate there. So, we did and loved every minute of it.I can't praise them enough; the service was great and the food delightful. We had the seafood Linguini; the pasta was cooked to perfection and the flavours complimented each other beautifully. The setting is waterside with large windows to see over the boats and broads. Lovely setting. Thoroughly recommended.

Have been coming here for a few years and it just keeps getting better. The decor has been vastly improved and has really improved the place.The food is excellent and the staff are always helpful.The views over the river and Wroxham Bridge are excellent.

Looking to kick start our Broads holiday with a great dinner, and the Waterside Terrace delivered.Service was top notch, and all our meals, which covered most aspects of the very ambitious extensive menu, were delicious.So, we can vouch for the meatballs, the scampi, the fish and chips, and the pizza.The ambience, with views across the terrace to the river, is pretty impressive as well, and very much in keeping with the great work being done to turn the Wroxham into a top notch boutique hotel.Highly recommended.

Overall I would say that our visit received a mix of service and quality. Without doubt the restaurant has potential if only they could have a higher level of awareness of the variation. The first meal to arrive was for another table!My wife’s pizza looked great but should have been cooked longer. The topping was overloaded with tomato sauce and cheese but lacked enough ham and pineapple. My Burger deserved a 4 rating. The meat was excellent but over cooked with far to much cheese!When we asked for the bill it was for another table!Better management and better organization will transform the restaurant to a5 star rating.

Just stopped for a quick drink. Beautiful setting and very friendly staff. Wished I'd been hungry to sample the food!

We chose to eat here rather than the alternatives in the town principally because of its location and good view over the river. The weather was excellent so we opted to sit outside on a terrace to get the best view and we found a spot that was both sheltered from the wind and that provided shade from the sun. The only downside of eating outdoors here (as at many other places these days) is that you also have to endure secondary tobacco smoke and other customers dogs - some of which are much noisier and less well controlled than others.We chose from the menu and placed our order at the bar inside as required and purchased a drink returning outside to wait ... and wait (although we were not in a rush - fortunately). One of us had chosen from the ordinary lunch menu and the other a choice from the (printed) specials menu. Our choices were registered on the electronic till / computer without problem. After waiting for about 30 minutes a member of staff approached to tell us the specials meal choice was not available (despite being accepted when ordered) and asked if I would I like to choose something else. Although a little disappointed as I had really fancied what I had ordered and I made another choice. My second choice was a little more expensive than my initial one and to their credit I was immediately told the amount I had already paid would stand. We then had a further wait before our meals were delivered - the best part of an hour after they were ordered.The meals when they came were both very good. The food was hot, well presented, appetising and enjoyable. The portions were, unexpectedly, enormous.It is not the cheapest place to eat, but it is a hotel and in a prime location with a good view so, on this basis, was reasonable.I would not be put off visiting again - but not if I was in a rush, but would be guarded when I made a meal choice.

Having found ourselves unexpectedly in Norfolk for the night I jokingly suggested a return visit to the Waterside. Happy to say this is where we came for dinner. We chose from the specials board as usual . I had crab salad which was enormous and my husband had the belly pork which looked delicious. Sadly no room for dessert! As usual service was friendly and efficient. Looking forward to returning.

My family and I visited the restaurant for dinner. The food was lovely and the servive was quick and good and the staff were very friendly. I had the burger and my only criticism was it was so big I couldn’t finish it.

As always a beautiful setting right beside river with boats moored r

With time to spare, we sat outside in the sunshine to watch the professional and not so professional manoeuvre boats about whilst we enjoyed a well earned drink. Food is on the expensive side but it is a lovely spot.

Popped in for lunch on a busy sunny Saturday. Absolutely lovely sitting on the terrace looking over the water. The food was very good and service was friendly. Price was very reasonable too! Recommend the burger, it was really tasty and very filling! Look forward to coming back again!

Stayed in Wroxham for a week and enjoyed sitting outside on the Terrace watching the World float by.Service in the bar was quick and efficient and the Terrace Furniture was very comfortable. We booked a meal in the Restaurant one night for a family birthday and found the Service and quality of good to be first class.It's not the kind of place to go if you want to be in and out quickly, but for a nice relaxing meal it was ldeal. Main Courses were all first class and the desserts were in another level.

This is a good place to have a drink or a meal especially if the weather is good and you can sit outside on the terrace which is right next to the river. Everything has to be ordered at the bar which is inside and up a couple of steps so it's not easy to get back outside with a tray of drinks, but there are plenty of tables inside. We had a good light lunch sitting by the river and watching the boats heading to and from The Broads. Service was helpful and efficient. I wouldn't go out of my way to drink or eat here but if you are visiting Wroxham then it would be a good choice.

This was our 3rd visit this week the food has been outstanding the service friendly and courteous as always. The weather on wed 8th was dreadful so a window table by the logburner watching the world go by was perfect as was the beautiful salmon dish and hubbies roast lamb.Thankyou for your hospitality your staff are wonderful we will see you again I'm sure.

Having been to Wroxham many times we decided that it was a good time to give this restaurant a try. The menu looked very promising. I chose Moules Mariniere and my wife chose duck with crispy noodles. The service was very friendly and we were given a choice of tables even though it was a fairly busy lunchtime and we had not booked in advance. When the food arrived it looked wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed my mussels. My wife's dish when it arrived was not exactly what was on the menu as it had a generous helping of Asparagus with the noodles, which my wife does not like, and which flavour everything else on the plate. It appears that the chef had decided to add this to the dis, but nobody else was aware. It spoiled an otherwise nice meal.

Visited the Waterside on Friday evening and was served with the best quality of food I’ve had for a long time. The service from all the staff was excellent, thank you to Camilla, David, Enrico and the chef Nigel. Thank you

My wife, daughter and I visited this restaurant on a Friday evening. The staff were very professional and friendly. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced. I must give a shout out for the following staff members; Camilla, David, Enrico and not forgetting Nigel the chef

Well it must be my favourite restaurant as we have just finished our fourth trip to Norfolk in 12 months, and have visited this restaurant each time. We have enjoyed food and had good service on each visit, but this time the service seemed that bit more attentive, and we enjoyed a bit of banter with our waiter. As always, there is a specials board with a good range of options. As always, our food arrived perfectly cooked and presented. It is so much more enjoyable an experience than eating in one of the chain restaurants. And certainly has fantastic views over the broad. I said it last time and I say it again - I will return!!

This was a rare Sunday escape and almost didn't happen because of my better half's sudden onset back problem..

5 of us popped in on the off chance of some dinner and really pleasantly surprised how welcoming all the staff were, the decor was fresh and especially tasty well presented food. We had a table by the window and still a great view of the river even in the dark- a lovely ambiance day and evening. I chose the curry board -on it was a great selection and very generous portion- 2 of us chose the burgers and 2 had the fish platter which although not on the menu the chef was only too pleased to accommodate and made an exceptional choice!

A delightful hotel. Pleasing room with lovely view. Tasty food with excellent service. Just a perfect venue to unwind and relax.

Lovely place for a drink and o watch the world go by. Nice terrace outside - would go again and recommend it.

They’ve really got this place just right now.

Normally stop off hear whilst on the broads had a starter of scallops and chorizo plus wild mushroom balls and a micro leaf salad absolutely stunning. Followed by a fillet steak that in my wife's eye's was the best she has ever tasted. I sampled the sea bass of which was cooked to perfection and some fantastic vegetables again cooked to perfection. You must try this restaurant as first class a bit slow on the service side but worth the wait and so what when you have a great view of the river as well.

This was our third visit this year, all the way from sunny Rochdale, and we are never disappointed. This time, we were a party of 11 plus toddler, so I just called in before we boarded for a broads boat trip to book a table for lunch on our return. Staff at the bar were helpful, leading us through to the main hotel reception, and sorting the booking. When we returned, our table was ready, with high chair all ready in place. Everyone in the party enjoyed their lunch, though with hindsight we should have asked if they could bring lunch for our little one ahead of the rest of the table as she was really hungry. Afterwards, Grandpa and my brother retired to comfy chairs at the bar forcoffee whilst the rest of us rushed round shopping. When we returned to collect them, we caught them with cake, which they said was delicious. Sadly, I had to decline the chocolate cherry cake as I was too full! This is officially my favourite restaurant in this area. I will be back!

Visited for lunch as a couple with the dog. We sat outside on the terrace which is right beside the water. It was a great view and the atmosphere laid back. The staff were friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable and food was fresh & tasty. My only criticism would be as first time customer I was unsure where to order etc so would have liked a little more signage to confirm the process. There is also a good selection of drinks and should be something to suit everyone. Would recommend and will be back.

Have now visited three times in recent weeks so my review has been deliberately held back so my comments are based upon my three separate experiences.

We stopped off here on the off chance of a cream tea following a few hours canoeing and paddle boarding. We were greeted by a lovely and helpful lady (wish I had her name) who went above and beyond to sort us an afternoon tea that was customised to our requirements and was absolutely delicious. Good value for money. Normally they only serve with 24 hours notice but we were lucky and it was amazing. Fab views, friendly staff and some more than decent cake - just beware of the wasps (they love cake too!)

A very friendly and accommodating restaurant. We had a part of 12 and they opened up the function room to be able to accommodate us at short notice. Staff were great especially David, Tash and Claire. Food was very good with a very varied menu including a number of vegetarian options. Would highly recommend.

Went to Wroxham today for a day out from London, with my friend. She being 82 and myself 55.

Found the hotel to be clean and tidy and the rooms well presented, the food was superb with a choice for everyone, the bar is attached to the restaurant, the only thing I didnt like is that the locals come in and use it before they go out locally so got very busy.

Let down by poor food, my fillet steak, was not as ordered and hard on the outside, supermarket sweep salad, microwaved potato bits and worse a few vegetable chips on the side, what a shame, my cocktails were very amateurish and poorly executed. A tight rip off really.

Ordered food by table number two meals. Waited 20 minutes for chef do carve the meat.

We had lunch here last time we were in Wroxham in March, and I said we would eat here again so we did! A somewhat different atmosphere with sunshine instead of snow, which meant we were able to sit out on the terrace and enjoy the river view.

I arrived late afternoon and found a great spot on the terrace. Someone came to clear the table so I asked her for a latte - she replied (head down) "order from the bar". I had a sleeping baby in a buggy and there are steps to the bar so I pointed to the pram and again got "order form the bar". I got up and walked out.

We came to Wroxham from Norwich to enjoy the day's sunshine by taking a boat out on the Broad and take in lunch. We were not sure where to try for eating and were so pleased to decide on this restaurant. It is very pleasant to sit overlooking the water and the atmosphere is very relaxed. The brie and bacon ciabatta with dressed salad and fries hit the spot beautifully. The price was very reasonable and the staff were very helpful. I dropped my fork and within a split second the waitress had picked it up and replaced it with a clean one. We had a lovely fresh jug of ice cold water with lemon. We enjoyed our lunch very much.

We first visited on the Saturday evening, was a little harder to find but once found was very impressed with the quite iconic setting. We luckily got a table over looking the river Bure witch is really pretty. Dinner was lovely, not a massive choice of food on the menu however we all did find something. There was 5 of us 4 of us really enjoyed our dinner intact me personally has to state that it is the best steak meal I have had, the fillet steak was just perfect. My dad said his burger was very bland but other then we all enjoyed us, it came out looking very impressive. We then enjoyed some cocktails chilling on the comfy sofas.

A friendly welcome from staff, there was a problem with the main entrance, but a member of staff saw us trying to gain access, and opened a door to let us in.

Visited with the family after a boat trip on the broads. There was 11 of us for a mid day lunch. Food was good with a varied menu and staff were friendly but iced up some of the orders and drinks - dealt with problems in effecient manner

The restaurant is part of the Wroxham hotel. My parents and I enjoyed a great meal ( burger, roast pork and cheese souffle), The food we had was tasted homemade, no frozen rubbish that you eat in chain restaurant. I was very impressed with the large veggie side dishes that came with the pork. The burger was was also excellent, much superior to chains such as Bryon or Honest Burger and cosiderably cheaper.

The food was beautifully prepared and served. Portions were very good. We tried various choices from the menu and the blackboard and were not disappointed at all

Lovely Sunday lunch nicely presented. Restaurant overlooking the water.,Waitresses very friendly and helpful.

I always have a fantastic meal at the hotel and last week was no exception. The young girl was waitressing on her own and there was a lot of tables but she was incredible and I would love the hotel to take note of what a fantastic job she did.

Well it was a nice day and the sun was at the right angle to this place on the outside...

We had a lovely cream tea here after a river cruise, the scones were huge, we had a table outside...

not eaten here as when we looked at the menu on thursday and thought it would be nice for friday,...

We ordered from the carvery whilst watching Arsenal on a Sunday. The food was excellent and this is the nicest...

Lugar encantador por el broads en el sol, esperamos más de media hora para algunas bebidas, no hay demasiada gente, pero el servicio era muy lento, ideal si tienes que pasar todo el día bajo el sol.

La cena fue increíble servicio fantástico tanto para el desayuno, así que reservamos. El desayuno estuvo bien pero no excepcional y el servicio no es tan elegante como la noche anterior. En general, recomendaría la experiencia. Gran ambiente

Visited for a coffee mid afternoon last Saturday,the terrace was packed with people enjoying drinks,meals and the glorious Norfolk summer.Service was a bit slow,but the view made up for it.The staff was friendly and. very helpful to a disabled customer.The toilets are lovely and clean.Will come back to enjoy a meal.

Whilst staying on a boat on the broads we stopped at wroxham this restaurant enjoys great views overlooking the river at wroxham there is a lovely terrace to sit on but we decided to eat indoors from the moment we walked in the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful in an extremely busy restaurant we were made very welcome our lunches were superb and good value for money worth a visit if your in the area

Had a lovely breakfast gluten free options were brilliant, plenty to do for the whole family, lovely quiet setting overlooking a lake. Somewhere for people with dogs to sit. Children's play area.

Fabulous waterfront bar and cafe to chill and relax . Menu excellent and nothing was too much trouble for the staff . Great little place to sit and relax and watch the world and the boats and bird life go by

After a relaxing trip on the broads, we decided to have lunch by the river, and the terrace bar was ideal, a very good menu for all We had a tasty fresh crab salad with new potatoes, a roast beef, cheese and mushroom ciabatta with fries and chicken Goujon,s with fries and baked bean for our three year old grand daughterAll served to your table by polite staff

This is in a great position right by the waterside. We visited on a warm sunny day in April and sat outside on the terrace. We just had drinks . It was lovely and relaxing, watching the boats go by and swans on the water. About 15 minute walk from the railway station and near to the boat trips and boat hire places.

With a superb terrace right on the waterfront and what looked to be a recently refurbished bar and restaurant with large windows overlooking the river we were expecting great things from this establishment. It certainly had an upmarket feel about it.We had not booked and when asking for a table for two we were delighted to be given a table by the window with lovely views. Another couple then arrived and were given the last available table by the windows. This was followed by a group of 4 people arriving who had earlier booked a window table only to be told there were no window tables available unless they wanted to sit in the bar. To say they were unhappy would be rather an understatement especially since when they booked no other tables had been reserved.We both had prawn and crayfish starters which very tasty and of a good size, a good start to the meal. We followed with their chicken special which could best be described as a fancy disassembled chicken burger and was nothing special to write home about. For desert my wife had the cake which was very nice and well presented whilst I had eaton mess which would have looked more at home in a fast food place than an upmarket restaurant.Before the meal when our wine was brought to the table is was just plonked down for us to serve ourselves and no taste was offered.Finally when the bill arrived I commented that it seemed very reasonable and paid it without really looking. We then sat chatting to the couple on the next table and some time later the waitress came back to say the bill was wrong and I needed to pay again, was that alright?. A lengthy explanation followed that we hadn't been charged correctly because we had moved tables (which we hadn't) so some of our food had been put on the wrong bill.Would we go back? Would certainly go for a drink on the terrace but not sure about eating in the restaurant. It may have just been an off evening but I would check the latest restaurant reviews to ensure things have improved.

Convenient for river and railway tours, and parking. Adequate menu for a short stay and snack. Tasty sandwiches and good coffee. Quiet when we visited in September, but I guess busier in season.

Stopped here after a boat trip, sat outside in the sun. Served quickly by charming waitresses. Lovely coffee, hot chocolate, scones and danish pastries.

we went to this establishment in the evening after walking around the town for a while. The setting is lovely next to the river. It feels like a very upmarket place with all the chrome and glass ,but the prices seemed to be quiet good. we only had a few drinks here but the food looked good that they brought out to other customers.

Good food but slow service spoilt the experience on our second visit.......although it was the bank holiday weekend the venue was only half full so there was no excuse for the poor service. There was also quite a lot of litter on the decking area.

We stopped here for a drink after a boat tour. As the weather was good we sat outside. It's a good place to sit and watch the boats go by. We didn't order any meals but my child ate an ice cream sundae here, it didn't last long!

We mis judged our timings somewhat and had booked a boat trip. The owner said, "No problem, let me pack it for you to take it away". Yummy fish fingers and chips. Great value. Tasty. Good choice. It would have been nice to have taken advantage of the lovely setting.

The food leaves a lot to be desired,that is when it arrives,overpriced for the lack of quality and standard of cooking. Although the breakfast may in some cases be free does not give the staff the right to keep people waiting for up to 20 mins to be served. Whilst sitting awaiting our meals quite a number of customers were complaint and yes the manageress did come andtalk to some people then vanish to the bar. Maybe to drown her sorrows. Once bitten twice shy never again.

Right on the water and an great place to be and people watch. We called for lunch and sat outside on extremely comfortable seating. Food was well served and presented and a good choice of beers and wines.If back in Wroxham I would definitely head for the Waterside again :)

We arrived about 12 noon and the restaurant was busy but not rushed. We were asked if we'd like drinks bringing while we looked at the menus, which always goes down well as you don't feel hassled. My husband ordered a cooked lunch but I wasn't especially hungry so asked if it would be possible for them to make me a toasted sandwich to specific ingredients. No problem! They couldn't have been more helpful and our meals were served promptly, with side salads and a smile. Within a few minutes we were asked if everything was OK - and yes, it definitely was. Clean, pleasant, nice surroundings and plenty of outdoor seating if the weather is good enough. Well deserved 5 stars!

Great view on the broads , food pretty good , pleasant service on the slow side, great sitting by the river on a sunny day taking in the views with a cappuccino , and apple pie !

With just three hours in Wroxham as part of a day excursion to the Broads, I was recommended by a local to a riverside cafe only to find it closed. As it was raining I went next door to the Waterside Terrace Bar and Restaurant and was initially told I was too early for lunch as it wasn't yet noon. I said I would have a glass of wine and wait and was given the choice of two menus from which I ordered the Cromer crab salad and a glass of wine. I paid and expected to take the wine with me but the bar person started serving the next customer and told me my wine would be brought out. The rain had cleared and I took a seat outside with very pleasant views of the river and a myriad of boats. Some time later food appeared and the waiter tried to take my table number but I told him I was still waiting for my wine. When he had gone I realised my 'meal' was not what I expected: I'd been given two sandwiches with a filling which could have been crab but was so overdressed it could have been anything. With this was a few lettuce leaves and a spoonful of a red onion and beetroot coleslaw which again was wickedly overdressed. There were also chips which I don't recall being on my menu selection. I waited for some time for my wine and although I saw the waiter bring orders to people who had arrived after me I was unable to catch his eye. By then the chips were cold, such as they were and I was halfway through my food when it started to rain so picked up everything and went inside. When a waiter passed I again said I hadn't got my wine which caused a discussion at the bar and I was told my wine had been delivered to my table, to which I replied that it most certainly had not; I then had to tell them what I had ordered! Ii tried very hard to find the menu I had ordered from but all that were on show were lunch menus only. I think it highly likely I'd been given another menu in error but I would have expected to be told my crab salad wasn't available and asked to make another selection. I can only hope there are better dining experiences in Wroxham.
