    Very pleasant venue. Nice inside and on the terrace, right next to the canal (if it's warm enough to go outside). Food is good and service very attentive. Little overpriced but venue appears to attract quite an upmarket crowd. Would definitely return.

    The atmosphere is gorgeous, 10/10. The meze was lovely, there were quite a few things missing from the menu and so the mains weren't exactly what we wanted. they also didn't want to apply the discount at first. service was a little slow.

    Everything was beyond excellent!! Amazing value and we had a lot of food to try and sample. Only complaint is the table was booked for 9pm but the meal was rushed as the kitchen closed at 10pm so plates were removed whilst some were still eating. We struggled with this as we felt we were rushed and it was rude. On a Saturday night when you are seated at 9pm you need to allow more time and this did ruin our evening.

    Seared white fish with a golden crust, served on shredded greens and accompanied by a creamy purple root vegetable puree, garnished with toasted nuts.
    Rich chocolate brownie topped with creamy vanilla ice cream and drizzled with caramel sauce, accompanied by a refreshing mint-infused beverage.
    Juicy hamburger with a beef patty, melted cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and pickles, served in a toasted brioche bun, accompanied by crispy French fries.
    Grilled steak with char marks, topped with roasted tomatoes, served with crispy French fries and a side of savory dipping sauce, garnished with fresh microgreens.

    Our waiter James was excellent - professional, fun and efficient - unlike the woman who was managing the bookings and seemed disinterested and lacking customer service! Fab atmosphere in the covered terrace. Delicious cod, steak, burger and brownie. Lovely to get the tasters for the table. Good selection of wines.

    We had dinner to celebrate my birthday. Lovely location and ambiance. The staff was very pleasant and accomodating. We decided to eat "outdoor" but sadly the heating was not close to us and it was a bit chilly. We ordered cauliflower, salmon pate, tuna and chips. Everything was very tasty. A soup on the menu would have been appreciated! Nobody mentioned my birthday..but it was ok. A special thanks to the lovely spanish waiter and manager. We will come back.

    I had yet another wonderful dinner at The Waterway! The staff was absolutely amazing, providing friendly and attentive service that made the experience even better. The food was delicious as always, and I never leave disappointed. This restaurant consistently delivers, and it’s always a pleasure to dine here. Highly recommend!

    Crispy golden fries drizzled with creamy garlic or ranch dressing and topped with fresh herbs.
    Toasted bread topped with green herb pesto, ripe tomato slices, a tangy drizzle, and garnished with slivers of almonds.
    Grilled lamb chops with a smoky char, served with a creamy herb dip and a side of couscous garnished with fresh greens.

    The crispy pork belly is amazing!

    Not brilliant, food was very average and above average prices. They made a significant mistake with the bill and tried charging an extra £100…

    Great local spot with good buzz and lovely setting. You do expect better food quality for an average £100+ dinner for two though. Starters were fine but my main course chicken caesar was overcooked and cold. Definitely could have made better food at home...which is always disappointing! We also had to ask for our drinks twice, which eventually came out after the food had been served. Even though I'm a local, I'd hesitate to go to The Waterway again.

    Lovely front of house staff and we had a great time but just a couple of blips with the table staff. Food was very good overall but an overdressed Caesar salad was a disappointment. Chicken wings were exceptional though!

    Generally a pretty good experience but if you don’t like smokers right next to you on an enclosed outer patio it’s not a place for you. They should tell you that you’re going to be surrounded by smelly smokers.

    A very good first visit to the Waterway. I’m sure that it would be even nicer in the summer when one would be able to sit outside without risking frostbite! Good food and good service!
