Excellent Sunday afternoon meal for 4. Dog friendly area. Efficient and friendly staff and a nice dining atmosphere. It was busy, so we recommend booking. Sea bass was excellent as was the rump steak. The posh pigs in blankets were …. posh!! And the pork belly hit the spot, super crackling.

Busy for a Tuesday lunchtime but we had booked. First impression not great, person at the counter didn't really acknowledge us. However the food was good. We had the lighter lunch and it was a perfect size to be honest. Nice view if the locks, would be really lovely on a summer's day. Car park small and tight.

30. Oct. Went last night was very disappointing both food and service time. Had lasagna was burnt in the dish, guest with us had posh pigs these were undercooked and sausages only just cooked in the centre. Pudding came mist of the apple blackberry crumble was on the paper napkin and was just topping. Guest also had the same a very thin layer of fruit and a inch and half of topping which was hard and dry. Complained first had £7.00 off the bill. Spoke with the manager who removed full cost of burnt lasagna and the 2 puddings. Felt the service was slow and could be improved. Disappointing visit would not be going again

Called for a quick bite here prior to seeing a show at the MMC Venue on a cold, dark and wet night. Had a nice welcome upon arrival and shown to our table. There was a good selection on the menu. Only really had time for a main and I chose the Sea Bass which was delicious. All of us had different meals that we all enjoyed. Good food and good service... could not ask for more.

Went for a school reunion lunch here and everyone seemed to enjoy the food. There was a bit of confusion over what was a large order, but all was sorted in quick time. All staff were pleasant and attentive. If I have one moan it was there was only one zero percent beer on offer. But that is a definite 1st world problem.

The Waterside Inn is a nice traditional village pub. There is a good selection of beers lager and cider, including two hand-pulled cask conditioned real ales, which were in excellent condition when i visited. There are no bar games, The pub is more of a restaurant. It is very popular for meals. i haven't tried the food, but the menu looked very tempting. There is a large outside covered seating area and tables overlooking the river. It's a nice pub worth visiting.

We ate here as a group of 4 in December and really enjoyed it. Visited again on Saturday and a completely different experience. Arrived early hoping for a pre dinner drink but got rushed to our table. Friendly waitress came to take drink order and we asked what real ales were available. She went to bar to ask and returned to let us know there was a session IPA which we all ordered. When arrived was more like lager and lime. It appeared on the bill as lager!! Food order placed and arrived very quickly. All ok. Mains arrived 2 fish and chips and 2 steak and Stilton flatbreads. Skinny fries with flatbreads cold and chewy. These were quickly replaced and very hot. Meat cooked ok but flatbreads were crispy and broke apart and no flavour. Fish and chips ok but greasy. When asked what we thought of the beer we said wouldn’t have again. Everything was so rushed we were bought our bill less than an hour of arriving. Although staff friendly and efficient would not go back. Very rushed and overall poor food. Not sure if has changed hands but a very different experience.

Good place to have a motorhome stop over. Excellent quiet location. Good walks along the canal for the dogs. Busy family pub but quiet during the night. Large flat grass parking area. Friendly and helpful staff. Very good food, a little expensive but with a free stopover it was still good value. The carpark gate is locked overnight and open about 10:30 am. so fine unless you need to leave early. Recommend.

Peter Easthopevisited on Sun, 28 July 2024 We arrived at 1.30pm knowing that that we had to vacate the table by 3.15. We were seated fairly quickly. Drinks arrived promptly however by 2,15 our food hadn’t arrived. This was no problem as it was a special occasion with members of our closest family,, however we were then approached by a member of staff who was very rude and aggressive and she told us we’d have to vacate the table at 3.00 pm. We were quite offended by her attitude and felt we were owed an apology which she refused. How would we be expected to eat a meal which hadn’t yet appeared by 3pm followed by a dessert within 45 minutes? Consequently no gratuity was left, We have visited the Waterside on many previous occasions but won’t be going there again

We booked for 2.00pm and specifically asked for a restaurant table, we arrived, were rudely told we could either have a very long wait as our table wasn’t ready or we could have the cramped, noisy table next to a very busy bar straight away. The Tuxford chicken was dry, tasteless and had a hidden 2” bone in it that I didn’t find until I chewed it, I could have choked. Not happy!

Food is good quality, if a little limited. They were very happy to make some swaps for the main course. However, 5 of the 6 puddings were chocolate based, so unless you like chocolate or fancy sticky toffee pudding, you will end up without any options for pudding. Having said that, it is highly likely we will return.

Went as a table of 6 on a Saturday evening. It was a busy evening and didn't feel there were enough staff on as they were all doing bar and table service and there were long waits between courses. They were polite, friendly and attentive. Did also find that we had to wait for cutlery after the food was delivered. The food was great to be fair and would happily go again. The only issue with the food was the price of the deserts. Am afraid £8.95 for a small slice of cheesecake was excessive. Overall a decent experience with a little room for improvement
