    The food at the Waterfront was delicious, the Sea Bass cooked to perfection and Chocolate and Orange torte worth every calorie! Service was great.

    Food was delicious, menu someone limited and needs more choices. Prices are high, you are paying for the ambience, which is great. The singer was great Paul Barker, amazing voice and very entertaining.
    The Waterfront Restaurant and BarResponded on 12 November 2024
    Thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled to hear you found the food delicious and enjoyed our singer, Paul! We are sorry you found the menu limited, however we should highlight that we do offer at least 15 main course options and 15 starter options included in our main menu and daily specials. We hope to welcome you back soon!

    Great venue, excellent menu. Slightly smaller main course would have allowed space for dessert, certainly didn’t leave there feeling hungry!

    Took the dog for a walk along the front and came across the Waterfront.. what a fab find. We enjoyed a lovely roast beef dinner cooked perfectly medium rare with a fresh veg medley, crispy Yorkshire, roast potato’s with sides of cauliflower cheese. All delicious. The espresso martinis are also a jolly good shout served by friendly helpful staff..We’ll definitely be back!
