We are delighted to throw open the doors and welcome you to The Waterside. Previously known as Thatchers, we’ve kept the beautiful thatched roof that gives the building such character, but step inside and you’ll find a refurbished and contemporary interior designed with comfort in mind.
Backing on to South Lake, The Waterside’s pub garden is perfect for relaxing on a balmy summer evening or meeting friends and family for lunch on a weekend. And when it gets chilly, enjoy a warm atmosphere inside – you’ll find plenty of cosy nooks in The Waterside.

Go for a walk around the lake before you eat. (Beautiful) Wonderful roast dinner. Superbly cooked. Sadly the chef forgot to include crackling with the pork. Most important ingredient!!! Still was delicious. Great service from girls with receptionist theme! Unusual but entertaining. Great massive fireplace, but at -1 degrees and they hadn’t lit it. Shame as such a beautiful attraction. So a little chilly.
We met up with family on Saturday lunchtime, including the two grandchildren ages 2 and 6. The food was lovely and reasonably priced. The service was excellent throughout, from the warm welcome we received from Anna on arrival to the table service from Rosie and Isabella. They all looked after us so well, it really made our day special. Thank you so much.
The staff are super helpful and friendly. I went with group of people (charity for VI) and make us feel welcome and its wasn't crowded also the place is well lit for VI people
We met up with some friends for a lunch here on Sunday afternoon. The service was friendly and efficient. We were looked after so well, from the moment we arrived to the time we left. The food was really lovely too and the prices were very reasonable. I went for the Sunday roast lamb. I was very happy with the portion size and quality of food. The cricket World Cup final was on, and so we watched that too. All in all, a great afternoon and definitely worth a visit. The property is really well kept, clean, tidy and a large play area outside foe children.
Stopped here to rest & have a cup of coffee after a nice walk around South Lake. Ordered Americano & a slice of Cheesecake. Coffee was mediocre tasting but the cheesecake was excellent 🍰 The restaurant seating outside is great during the summer. Service usually of non-halal food & drinks, so can not judge the food. Service is superb & staff are super friendly.
