Pleasant atmosphere. Mix of very indoors, picture windows and covered outdoor benches. Views of Rutland water and the little harbour are excellent. Service is at the speed of drinks, which you sit down with. Food is quite slow, but tasty. It is definitely on the expensive end.

Very nice view from the cafe and good selection of seats, clean and tidy but stopped serving food and hour before closing isn't the best, was very disappointed especially coming in with disabled person so find a seat then have to get up and leave, would be good to put this information on the entrance to let potential customers know you stop service to avoid disappointment

After a long stroll to Sykes lane came back for a bite, it was 3pm so no sandwich/lunch was available. Had cuppa tea and cakes. Minimal selection of cakes. Make sure to be there earlier of you want lunch.

Ordered 2No deals of the day - toasted tea cake and latte plus cappuccino. Did not think it possible for a toasted tea cake to be this bad it was like eating cardboard and just couldn’t finish the coffee. The staff were really nice and the venue idyllic just the food that disappointed.

We had a lovely visit today with our little dog Billy. Nothing was too much trouble. Bob had a bacon bap and I had an egg bap but because I don't like fried egg the kind staff cooked me a scramble egg bap..... and it was delicious. (Definitely would go back for that alone!!!) Billy had already had a dog treat when we walked in. When we ordered our coffee and hot milk for Billy, the lovely girl asked if he would like wippy cream. Bonus. There was a bit of a delay re the baps arriving but they could not have been more apologetic. The views are great and there are sofas too to really relax. Thank you Waterside Cafe and it won't be long before we are bac... especially as we now have a year's car park pass.

The place is very nice and a view to the lake is superb. The staff is kind. Prices are extremely high as if it was a posh restaurant with fancy meals which it definitelly is not. £13.95 for a burger with chips, £7.69 for a sandwich is a gross exaggeration.

Cafe almost empty - only two other tables there. Ordered one cold and one grilled cheese sandwich (after waiting ages to be served) Paid a fortune - almost £8 each and then finally got two small cheese sandwiches. Couldn't possibly make me a grilled sandwich as per my order for half an hour as they were too busy. Avoid. Poor service. Not worth the cost.

We came here for a hot drink and a lunchtime snack. The cappuccino were good and reasonably priced, but the sandwich, although nicely presented (with dressed salad garnish) was expensive for what was served. The staff were pleasant and friendly. The choice of drinks (including alcoholic) was good and the menu included a good selection of dishes ranging from snacks to more substantial meals. The range of cakes and baked items was good and they all looked tasty. Food is cooked and prepared to order so you may have to wait a bit depending on what has been ordered before you. The view over the moorings and reservoir is nice and there are plenty of tables indoors and out. The toilets (unisex with wash basins and hand dryers in the cubicles) had plenty of toilet paper and soap, but could do with a proper clean as the floors and walls were very grubby. We will return next time we're in the area.

We visited yesterday(June 24th) because we couldn’t get in for lunch somewhere else. We decided on the the cheese sandwich at £7.69 and at that price thought it was going to be more than a regular sarnie. When they arrived we just looked at each other. 😳 Two smallish slices of rather dry sliced bread with a wedge of cheese on it. We needed a mouthful of a drink with each bite but we were very bit and hungry so we had to make do. There were several trays left by customers that were completely ignored and, no, it wasn’t busy. Tables weren’t wiped down between customers and the cafe itself didn’t seem as clean as it could be. The toilets were disgusting as well. I rarely leave a bad review for anything but had to this time. We won’t be returning no matter how hungry we are.

For the money, the food is good, nothing over exciting, but okay. The service is generally attentive, not particularly personal, standard national chain stuff. The atmosphere is pretty much as you might expect from an out of town national eatery. It's friendly enough as people go about their individual tables dining. The tables could do with a proper wipe down after guests have eaten however. We have been a few times recently and had to ask for this to be done. They get a bit of a quick flick over, but not a thorough wipe, in my experience.
