Waypoint Bar and Bistro in Plymouth

Friendly, chilled, and great food.

I called for any hiring opportunities and the staff was extremely rude and discriminatory on the phone.Was told to asked to ‘check before calling’ when I never knew that there was impositions on when and who to call someone! Did not expect this type of costumer service consultation on the phone. Disappointed.

Arrived, ordered drinks then 2 main courses. Drinks served, impressed with service. 30 mins later no food and the Bistro not busy. Went to check on the food. Another server came to our table to apologise, the server had forgotten to submit our order and would we like to continue with the food. They offered complimentary drinks, but we left. They gave us our drinks. So I cannot leave a review of the food (which in the past has been good).

Staff is horrible. Never come here. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!

Wonderful food, fantastic service, stunning views. Can't fault anything at all.

Just had probably the worst beef burger ever,like leather. Waiter couldn't be bothered ' well I did tell the chef'

Variable service depending who is on duty. Eaten here a few times over the last couple of years, quality of service really depends who is working, quite often staff are sat at tables talking to regular customers instead of serving tables. I hate having to get up and walk to the bar to order another drink. More consistent staff training needed please! My review a year ago clearly given a good ignoring. Visited again last week and the service was shocking, the staff were tidying up to close (at 7pm), the kitchen porter spent his time shuffling past our table carrying stuff to/from the bar. The food (burger) was inedible, so much so we refused to pay for it. I was assured they hadn't changed their butcher but would take it up with them. The next morning I saw a Bookers Cash & Carry butcher van outside so don't expect any quality ingredients at the Waypoint. The place needs proper management, not a chip fryer and grill.

Visited last weekend, food was delicious, highly recommend the baked cod, free parking for 2 hours. Lovely Outlook onto the marina. Would visit again.

Very pleasant setting and dog friendly. The four of us enjoyed fish tacos, stir fry and burgers from a very reasonable and varied menu. And friendly service too.

Our first visit and was very impressed. Great good , quick service. The staff were excellent and very professional. A very enjoyable visit. Will return

Rubbish, bad service, took a long time for our order to be taken, then each time we asked how it was progressing we were told its on the way but its busy, which it was. We saw peoplecome in after us come in , order , eat, pay and leave. Then we found out after 80 minutes our order hadn't been started or had just been started ,so we all just got up and left . You get two hors free parking here but be warned on a busy day , when you book a table it may not be enough #still no food , "Mackiedees" everyone

Great, really enjoyed the meal. Good service.

Lovely place to go. Scenic and friendly. Generous portion. Both my husband and I had a baguette Tuna/Prawn and were full of ingredients . Both were very tasty and the side salad was so refreshing. It’s our go to place. We have also recommended Waypoint to our friends. Access is brilliant, from unaided to aided alike. Very reasonable with their charges. Make it your go to place.

Like a little oasis in the hustle of plymouth. Step into the marina and enjoy nice food in a lovely friendly and relaxed environment. Definitely be going back.

I was here with friends for a birthday and it was fabulous. Great food,place and service.

This place is a hidden gem! Have been here multiple times and taken family here to who now also frequent here. Food is always spot on!

Nice and relaxed. Very good sunday roast beef. Nice coffee too. Eat here iro 3 or 4 times a year and never disappointed. Instead of moaning about first-world problems like some do, this isn't the Ritz so don't expect it to be. It is warm, comfortable, welcoming, clean and good value. Food is generous and nice.

Really rather like it here. Very relaxed and nice vibe. Food is excellent in our experience, esp. Sunday specials.

Service at the table always great but food is very hit and miss. Fantastic venue with inside and outdoor seating, views over Plymouth sound. 2 hours free parking.

I am a regular lunchtime diner at this lovely bistro and decided to have my 80th Birthday evening meal for 19 friends and family. It was a fabulous evening!! Kate and her staff were incredible, the long table set out looked lovely, the food was wonderful with all different orders all out on time with no fuss and helpful staff for some 'old biddies'. I couldn't have asked for a better celebration evening. Highly recommend this venue.

We went here on a Sunday for a family pre Christmas roast and before we went we inquired if there was vegan on the menu and was told yes. This was the worst Sunday roast I have ever had. The vegetables were not only al dente they were as hard as a rock as was the Yorkshire puddings, I couldn't get a fork in them and the stuffing balls were dry and tasteless, for me the vegan, they gave me two tiny quorn sausages that were pale and uninteresting obviously just chucked in the microwave. They couldn't offer me anything at all for a pudding I have never been anywhere where the meal was so awful, the others all left there vegetables as they were so horrible.

Good food , great views of the barbican

We popped in for a quick lunch on a weekday. The service was really pleasant and always with a smile. The food was lovely we were really happy and will return. Your waitresses are a real credit to you.

Great food. Good value. Excellent staff. Recommended.

a little gem..but be aware of parking time

Service without a smile! Some food better than others; no consistency. Needs to up its game as far as service is concerned. The first point of contact - at least on Tuesday, was cheerless; perhaps even hostile. And, yes, one is here to spend money; surely that is to be welcomed.

Good food, friendly service and a lovely view

Always a friendly welcome and decent food served in good time. Great view of The Sound.

Great venue for dropping in after a day on the water, staff are really friendly and helpful, good beers and excellent food.

Very attentive staff, excellent food.

We found this by accident while looking for somewhere to watch the fireworks,perfect spot to see the display but book early as it is very popular,staff are really friendly and accommodating,the food is great,especially the steaks.

Excellent service and more than enough food, took leftovers home, too good to waste 🥰

Had a very a nice full English.

Fantastic meal, highly recommend. Two adults and two children Not being local we didn't realise we had to go through the barrier to get to the restaurant.

Wonderful lunch with family excellent food great service reasonably priced thank you we will return again

Ate here and had coffee a few times while on charter with Liberty Yachts with our sailing club. SOMERSET YOUTH AND COMMUNITY SAILING ASSOCIATION from bridgwater on our annual sea sailing week. We sail from Mountbatten Centre and can watch the boats from here. They did us scrambled eggs on toast even when officially too late for breakfast which was nice of them.

Lovely place, good food, very tasty, amazing views.

Excellent. I was drinking only.

Great customer service with smile's

No tipping is expected so you do with pleasure

Great food atmosphere and friendly staff. We used every day post diving for refreshments and twice in week for dinner

Friendly waitress, think her name was Becky, Lovely food and reasonably priced.

We dropped in for a coffee whilst walking in Queen Anne's Battery. Lovely place with great service and quite well frequented when we visited on Monday. Lovely coffee. We will be back to try the menu soon. Thanks.

Had an absolutely fantastic night here we were all very full & satisfied when we left, the staff were great the food was awesome, we had a little staff do & sat in the outside gazebo area with the heater on will be returning for our next 1. Would highly recommend this place. Superb😊

Just dropped in for snacks and coffee. Has fabulous views over the bay and estuary.

Stunning location, when the sun is shining. Excellent service, delicious food and very reasonable price. Highly recommended

Beautiful food, great customer focused team. Well done

Nice food and delicious hot chocolate

Lovely lunch yesterday, food lovely,staff lovely, great atmosphere. Definitely recommend. Many thanks.

Popped by for a mid week dinner. The menu was varied and the small plates were tasty. I had heard good things about the creamy mushrooms and wasn’t disappointed! It was pretty quiet while we were there; perhaps some mid week offers would help to attract more customers as the prices weren’t the cheapest. Will be looking to return to sit outside in the summer.

Basic , ordinary and nothing to shout about.

Staff were amazing and the restaurant offers a very relaxed atmosphere. Just a quick stop off for cuppa and cake. I really need to visit this place in the summer as I can only imagine the views and scenery will be even more lovely.

Have been here a few times for drinks, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, nice on a summer evening overlooking marina.

Not bad venison was over cooked and the mash was out of a bag from the freezer but it was edible

Had our christmas lunch works do here. The food was lovely and the customer service was excellent. Thank you.

Had a lovely meal here, the food was hot and well prepared. There were 10 of us and the staff were very nice and in the freezing weather it was lovely and warm.

We're Regular visitors to Waypoint , mainly for Breakfast. Food is excellent , very reasonably priced , with very friendly polite Staff . Strangely our boats are across the water , but the journey is worth it .

Foods are great but limited menu. Great ambience!

Delicious meal, lovely atmosphere, and great staff. New fav!

This Bistro at Queen Anne's Battery is the perfect place to wind down, to relax and take in the ambiance of this Marina. There are fine views out over Catawater to Plymouth Sound and beyond. One van see the Brittany car ferries arrive and depart too. There is a well stocked bar and an excellent menu and service is just as one would expect with staff checking to see if everything is as ordered. Highly recommended by me if one is visiting The Marina, boat sales, the Riggers, the Sea Chest Book shop Force 4 Yacht Chandlers and parking is free for two hours. Pay if you are there longer on the way out for the barrier to lift. I do like this place for a Morning coffee and snack, lunch, a pot of tea or Dinner.

Wine, gin and coffee. All good.

Good burgers and excellent views.

Have been coming to Waypoint for years and it never fails to disappoint. This time it was for a family meal on a Sunday evening. Food was really tasty, staff were attentive and everything was served with a smile. A great find and would certainly recommend

I came here after some recommendations. I was a little disappointed in the customer service, but the food was enjoyable. The location was difficult to find, as is in an industrial state 'Queen Anne's baton' Even once in the estate no easy directions or signs to find.

Enjoyable venue for full English

Went there for brunch. Really enjoyed it. The stuff were very friendly and brought us some dips. The food was excellent and very filling. Will be back again soon with my friends.

I have been to Waypoint/chandlers for at least 20 years. The recent transformation has made it weatherproof and I am there at least 4 times a week. I am free to say what I like about it but cannot find fault. My only fear is that the scallops will be off next time I visit as they are the best I have ever tasted. As a traveller in France and Germany for 30 years I do know the best when I see it. Thank you all at my second home.

Lovely food great service and beautiful location and dog friendly!

Enjoyed lunch and good service. Would go back.

The staff, especially Kristy, are exceedingly friendly although very professional. The food is amazing and served in a timely manner. The varied choice of drinks caters for most tastes. A couple of absolutely enjoyable visits over the last couple of days. Sad to be on our way tomorrow 😪

Fantastic service, amazing food! Loved the starters, we had lots of nibbles! Was perfect! Actually felt like we were abroad looking at the view! High recommend!

Love this place, excellent food, friendly staff and a great view

Dogs in the restaurant are not a good Idea.

At one point there were 6 dogs in the restaurant. One dog was vicious, and attempted to bite the legs of two different guests. Another barked on and off, mostly on, for at least 30 minutes before the owner removed the animal. The food was very good, the service was excellent, the price was reasonable, the dogs were awful. Apart from guide dogs for the blind, dogs have no place in a restaurant. The owners may love their animals, but I don't. Unfortunately due to their dog policy, I will not be returning.

Good service, poor food. Tired menu. Calamari was terrible, skin left on was like elastic bands. Should do better sea food for its location

I would like to be able to comment on the food and drink but sadly no one approached us for a drink or to offer menus within 20 minutes of arrival. Other customers arrived after us and were served. We were not in an isolated part of the restaurant so there was no reason for us to be missed. The restaurant was not busy so no excuse.

Great food, great location, and friendly staff. Only downside is no baby changing facilities, but we made do.

Lovely location, 2 hours free parking which is a bonus. Had the full English breakfast and flat white coffee - both excellent. Friendly and helpful staff too. Definitely recommend when exploring Plymouth's waterfront

Nice atmosphere and good, friendly service. The food and were also excellent

Good beer, evening meal and breakfast. Staff friendly.

You can eat there without any worries. Fish and chips were very tasty.

A place I wasn’t aware of. Excellent food, good prices, excellent service. Staff polite and friendly. Couldn’t wish for a better setting to sit and eat. Great view

Came here for some food and drinks with friends the food was amazing and the staff was friendly set in a brilliant location with views out the sound would definitely return

Most amazing food we've had in a long time, can tell its all homemade. The staff here are always happy to help and always smiling.

Very friendly, reasonable prices, good service. The chocolate brioche bread & butter pudding is amazing!!!

Excellent food and service every time.

Great service but!! Had a Latte with extra shot, it was very watery not milky. Certainly not a latte!! Nice sausage and egg sandwich but, served on a serviette wich got covered in egg yolk, no knife so had to disect with a spoon! Zero garnish which at 5.50 is a bit sad. Had a half pint of beer, Tribute, bit cloudy and sour!! Just stale or dirty pipes. Overall a nice enough place but quite amateur!!

Nice place. Very good cake and coffee. Will go there again and probably have a meal.

Great staff lovely view love this place

Went for a birthday lunch. Food was superb and reasonably priced.

Smashing place dog friendly great breakfast, lovely coffee, friendly staff, my new favourite breakfast place

Brilliant food.Brilliant staff. Great afternoon.

A comfortable and welcoming bar bistro in QAB, good service, good food, good wine and sensible prices, an excellent spot to watch the comings and goings of boats in the marina.

Friendly staff, well spaced tables, excellent coffee and delicious carrot cake! And all with a view over the marina.

Lovely friendly service, fantastic food.. thank you, we will be back.

Can’t fault either the food or the service and ambience. So accommodating we were made to feel very welcome and we can’t wait to return. Thanks for helping make my dads 70th birthday! I don’t often (never) post reviews but this was well earned.

Beautiful place, with warmers. Food is great and very good presentation. Friendly staff.

Brilliant service, nice food, and beautiful views

Great venue, food and staff. Thanks for a nice evening.

Safe experience during covid, Great food, excellent service.
