We always thought that moving house was supposed to be one of the most stressful times in a person's life ........

For us however, it would seem that it provided the opportunity to revamp, rethink and reopen with a bang. With the main members of our winning team from Swinton's own Crompton's ready for a fresh challenge, we decided to up-sticks and re-site to leafy Monton.

Our six valuable years experienced gained at Crompton's made us feel ready to enhance the business further and our philosophy was to deliver good value for money wholesome food but to offer it in a more easy eatery approach.

Here at The Waterside, we want you to enjoy our serene and tranquil location set immediately upon the busy yet peaceful Bridgewater canal. The Waterside is both contemporary and comfortable whilst making the most of the original features of its period home. (Once we believe a Polish off licence and convenience store amongst other uses )

As written across the entrance wall to the restaurant, we sincerely want you to 'eat, drink, relax, enjoy', an easy instruction we feel when faced with an unpretentious menu of tempting delights that beg to be tried. Whether you choose to dine inside where we can seat up to 70 people, you may wish to dine outside where our well kept terrace seats a further 140 people. As the evenings grow cooler, you can still enjoy the wonders of alfresco dining under our huge umbrella with heated lights.

March 2008 saw the signing of our new head chef Mr Neil Kenny. With his ambition, attention to detail and overall total commitment to a persons career, we felt that our jigsaw was now complete. How wrong we was, we didn't envisage just how popular our new re-siting was to be. Yet again we found the need to recruit another team member into our very busy kitchen and thankfully in August 2008, we secured our assistant head chef to strengthen the overall team.

In recruiting two of Manchester's finest chefs, our varied and extensive menu incorporates a wide selection of starters, a number of 'easy eatery' main courses, featuring sandwiches and wraps, home-made burgers, fish dishes and pasta dishes, as well as an interesting fine dining section. The 'easy eatery' ethos takes the hassle out of dining out and presents dishes that can be ordered at lunchtime if popping in for a quick bite or in the evening for a more leisurely dining experience.

You can always just stop by for a drink where you will always be welcome and of course we love to see the children as families are high on our priority guest list !!!

So, finally, relax with glass of wine in hand, relish our tranquil setting and first class food where we know you will be coming back for more.
