Carvery was very nice last night but your toilets are disgraceful. One toilet blocked, one with broken handle and last one with the long window has broken blinds so you are visible to the outside.
Toilet paper all over the very filthy floors. You need to go in them and actually see what should be rectified.
It’s made me doubt the cleanliness of the kitchen now!!
The food was reasonable. The sprouts were undercooked and some of the parsnips were too. The meat and other veg were good.
My main gripe is serving staff with long hair not having it tied back. This is totally un hygienic and a disgrace. Working in the hospitality trade myself I know that this is totally unacceptable.
Great Carvery, well cooked vegetables. Johnny the carvery chef is hilarious,,,thank you for making our mother's day even better.
During our visit, we opted for the carvery, and it was a choice well made.
From the moment we entered, the ambiance was inviting. The pub is set in a scenic location by the water, which adds to its charm. The interior is cozy, with a blend of rustic and modern decor that creates a comfortable atmosphere suitable for both family meals and casual gatherings.
The carvery itself was a highlight. The selection of meats was impressive, with succulent cuts of turkey, beef, and gammon available. Each was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavour. The staff at the carving station were friendly and generous with the portions, making sure we had our fill of whichever meats we preferred.
The variety of sides was equally pleasing. There were plenty of freshly cooked vegetables, including crispy roast potatoes, fluffy mashed potatoes, and a selection of seasonal vegetables. The Yorkshire puddings were large and airy, providing the perfect vessel for the rich, savoury gravy that was available in abundance. For those who enjoy their sauces, there were plenty of options.
The service throughout our visit was attentive and efficient, with the staff ensuring that our needs were met without being intrusive. Despite being busy, the pub maintained a relaxed pace, allowing us to enjoy our meal at leisure.
In summary, The Waterside - Pub & Carvery offers an excellent carvery experience with a good balance of quality, variety, and value. It’s a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy a traditional meal in a welcoming setting.
