The Waterside Inn

Just had a meal at the Waterside in Leigh. The food was spot on, especially the chocolate orange cheesecake. The staff are all very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. A special mention goes out to Lottie and Jason. Cheers guys 🍻 We will definitely be back. 👍

Went in for food today previously visited for drinks meal was absolutely delicious you can tell they use top quality ingredients bit pricy but was very nice change from the usual run of the mill places in the deprived town. We sat out on the canal side, soaking up the sun with some nice views and the staff were very friendly and helpful

Met a friend and her dogs here for lunch, we sat outside on the deck and had lunch. Absolutely the best choice we could have made, food was amazing and looked so pretty! Jo the manager and the gentleman on the bar were lovely and so helpful, even bringing water out for the dogs xx First time I've been since they re-opened and I highly recommend!

Although this review is quite lengthy, I will summarize it by stating that this will not be my final visit to the Waterside Inn. The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the staff was very friendly. This was my first visit to The Waterside Inn since it reopened. We arrived a few minutes after it opened for the day, but the establishment was immaculate and fully prepared for the day's operations. The inside of the place is really nice. Since it was raining, we sat inside. You can pick any table you want and order at the bar. The drinks are all pretty cheap. In the middle of drinking mine, I noticed a small crack in the glass. They brought me a new one and even filled it up more without charging me. We selected the three starters for £15, which were delightful. The pork belly bites were particularly impressive, as was the mushroom starter, which was accompanied by an exceptional sauce. The patatas bravas were also enjoyable, although they were quite rich. My only recommendation would be to reduce the amount of tomato sauce, as it was so abundant that it seemed as if the dish was swimming in a tomato soup rather than being complemented by a sauce. I opted for the lamb Sunday lunch. The portion was substantial, preventing me from completing the entire meal. Notably, the preparation of the lamb closely resembled my grandmother's cooking, both in terms of taste and texture. It was evident that the ingredients were fresh and not subjected to freezing or mass cooking methods commonly employed by other establishments. My partner ordered the mixed grill and was delighted to find that they had English mustard and proper pork sausages, rather than the less expensive ones that some establishments serve. The meal was also well-portioned and cooked to perfection. The staff provided exceptional service and were very attentive. I cannot find any fault with their service. I highly recommend this establishment.
