The Lounge At Waterside Leisure

Booked for lunch, several staff passed us before we finally got seated. Table for two rocked like a see-saw. Need 20-20 vision to read the small font unclear menu, Service was below average, asked for a side dish of spring onion which did not arrive with main course. Food was okay but thought there was a lack of good healthy choices. Location is very nice but overall was a disappointing experience

I had an absolutely terrible lunch at this restaurant. There was no vegetarian alternative to the turkey/pork dish I had hoped for. I was told I should have called ahead to mention that I was vegetarian, which I have never had to do in 35 years of not eating meat anywhere except on an airplane. The chef did offer to make me a mushroom risotto as a vegetarian option, but I did not like it. I had been expecting a vegetarian option like a pastry parcel instead of the meat, which is what most places offer. The gravy was made from meat and when I asked for a vegetarian alternative, I was told they did not have any. The Yorkshire pudding I received was burnt on the outside, raw on the inside, and cold. Overall, it was a very disappointing birthday lunch and I would not recommend this restaurant.

Just cycled here from the village (Buckden) on a sunny day and being 30degs we fancied a cool beer and sandwich. Super views over the marina, lovely pint of San Miguel and great value food generous portion and all freshly prepared. Friendly service and a great setting. A must stop off if you’re passing and after a quick and simple pint n bite a perfect place to recharge on a weekend bike ride. If you’re after something more formal or greater range of food then the local villages a better option, but neither have the setting and chilled atmosphere. Simple, enjoyable and good value, will certainly be back!

A group of eight of us stopped here for lunch during a good length walk on the Ouse valley way . I was concerned as I had read on trip adviser some poor reviews although some were fairly old . The staff were good the food was good we had a selection of jackets and sandwiches . It came very quickly and in good size portions . It was exactly what we needed and the table on the veranda overlooking the marina was a very pleasant location. The building looks a little tiered but that was of no great consequence for our visit. We all agreed it was a good venue for our lunch break , its not fine dinning but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it based on our experience .

Went to the lounge last night with sixteen friends a bit skeptical as its not been good in the past but now got a new chef we all had turkey dinners well it is that time of the year absolutely fantastic all came about same time cooked to perfection and wow so large can't complain about that four slice,s of turkey lot's of vegetables and gravy to die for Christmas pud mince pie,s all for £14.50 each with views on the river lots of parking give it a try I know we'll all be back on a regular basis.
