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. F&B Horizon takes great pride in delivering good food. We believe that working with quality ingredients is key to a delicious meal.

Good choice of food, friendly staff. Quick service. Reasonably priced
Only criticism is the car park needs a new surface, its rubbish

I've been here a few times when visiting my daughter who lives in the area. Nice traditional sort of pub with good food and great service. There are also tables outside in the garden area at the back away from the road. Always a pleasant experience and would definitely recommend.

Dinner here last night . Great Service. Friendly Staff they were hard working. I got allergies and the manager came to the table to make sure I could eat what I had ordered. Definitely be back. And good value.
Happy New year's to you all.

Went for a Roast but was too late- not sure how that works on a Sunday. Decided to save the planet and had a moving mountains burger but made the mistake of not checking and getting the dodgy vegan mayo - bad choice.
Very pleasant place with nice staff and good outside area.
Lovely decor and beautiful pub. Stands out in the area its in.
As my gran would say "the best drinkers are the thirsty ones"

Very limited menu, but very high quality at a reasonable price!
Spacious inside, nice garden and lots of parking spaces.
I would highly recommend this pub!

Had a lovely Sunday roast. Fresh nicely cooked vegetables, plenty of meat, friendly welcoming staff who looked after my 90 year old mother-in-law. Good prices, recommended, will come again.

Good place for an informal family get together. We ate in the pub garden, which has plenty of space for children to run around, and a climbing frame and slide, (not suitable for very young children). The food was good and the staff were very helpful. Also look out for the best footballing dog ever!!! Thanks to the weather and the staff for an enjoyable family celebration.
