The Waterside
Bar · Rooms · Restaurant
A place to savour
Set immediately upon the serene Bridgewater Canal, the Waterside is both contemporary and comfortable — a period home reimagined, where original features meet considered modern design. It is, as our motto has always promised:
The Place That’s The Place To Be Whether you settle into the relaxing Lighthouse Lounge, the main dining room, semi-private dining for up to 20 people or dine al fresco in our canal-side garden, every table is set for the same unhurried instruction: eat, drink, relax & enjoy.
Gastro at its best… Reputation is our main ingredient
Fantastic ingredients, sourced from trusted local suppliers, combined with care under the direction of Head Chef Gary Hewart — a menu the kitchen is proud to put its name to.
Hand-selected & delicately composed
Prawns pil pil, cured salmon gravlax, jumbo chicken wings — a considered opening to the meal.
Excellent seasonal dishes
Sirloin, rump and fillet cooked to your liking, pan fried salmon gnocchi, and our celebrated Sunday roasts.
Indulgent, unhurried endings
Our now-famous homemade cheesecake — the chef’s weekly choice of flavour — and more, to conclude your evening.
Dine by the water
Our well-kept garden seats a further 140 guests along the peaceful Bridgewater Canal — an enchanting setting for warm evenings, Friday cocktail deals, and long weekend afternoons. New for events: an outdoor pergola and stretched marquee tent, ready to host your next occasion.
Boutique Rooms
Four individually designed king-size rooms — extend your evening into a private retreat, moments from your table.
