We got married last weekend and used The Waterside as our party venue. We cannot emphasise how supportive the management and staff were. The manager especially made sure our day went without a hitch and they were all genuinely welcoming and friendly to us and our guests. We would really recommend the buffet menu, it is amazing and there was so much food to go round! No one went hungry! They have beautiful gardens for taking photos and entertaining your guests in the day. We had about 130 people in total and it catered for us all comfortably. We would definitely recommend The Waterside for a wedding and we would also use them for any other parties we arrange. Thank you so much to Conor and the team for a wonderful day!
Had an amazing evening celebrating birthdays with family- food was first class.. great service - waiter/bar person was hands on.. Manager/Govenor could not do enough for us - playing our favourite irish tunes - even did an irish dance for us !!! This was a midweek celebration - can't wait to return with all our family & friends- highly recommend ���
We had our wedding reception at The Waterside in early August 2018. Jo and I were so happy we chose this charming venue with its two gardens for our wonderful day. The Waterside was the perfect setting for the rustic, relaxed wedding party we wanted.
In terms of food, we had an incredible hog roast (with some goats cheese tarts as a vegetarian alternative) and buffet for our wedding breakfast. In the evening, the fish goujons and “the world’s best chips” went down a storm with our guests.
Conor and his team were brilliant throughout, in the days coming up to the wedding and helping us tidy up afterwards. Nothing was too much bother for them, meaning we could focus on enjoying our special day. Conor was always on hand to help us in the run-up to the wedding and was able to recommend local suppliers when we needed one.
Thank you again and we’ll definitely be back for a Sunday roast soon!
Amazing friendly service (Connor and Tom are fantastic). Gorgeous venue and the food is top quality. Definitely recommend
Fantastic food, good selection of wine, beer & spirits & really friendly staff. Such a massive improvement from what it was. Living just round the corner from it also helps. Defo recommend this place, keep up the amazing work & standards
Great experience! We popped in for lunch during a 25 mile charity walk yesterday. We found it on Google Maps.. it was 15 miles into our walk. We were exhausted and truly in need of some good food and drink to refuel! Staff were delightful and the food was delicious. We were allowed to use plug sockets to charge our phones too. One of the members of staff even gave us a kind donation towards our charity as we left. Thank you again xx
A beautiful venue. Not too big, not too small. Perfect for any celebration you may be having. Just had my 40th there. The staff were amazing, helpful, friendly and couldn’t have done more to make my day special. Would absolutely recommend �
We held my granddaughter's post-christening lunch there yesterday. The food was delicious and the service exceptional. We were a reasonably large party and we were all served together with hot food. The staff were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.
Perfect venue for a party we had a fantastic evening, the food was delicious and Conor and his team are so helpful and nothing is too much trouble - can't recommend it highly enough
I must congratulate Ray and Connor and the other staff for making this a very enjoyable place to eat enjoy n relax. I have been twice and planning on going with a big group on the 5th March. The food is terrific and a wide selection. The service is very good and as for the atmosphere - cannot find words to describe it. I understand it was taken over by a new management some two years ago but If they continue the way they are, they cannot go wrong. You have to give Waterside a try!!!
Fabulous evening celebrating St Patrick’s Day. Thanks so much to Conor and the team for putting on a great night and huge congratulations to the Irish Dancers for a wonderful display. Highly recommend this friendly venue!
Went to a friend's wedding on 15/07/2017. Great food, lovely atmosphere, and friendly staff. They even had sellotape to hand when I wanted to tape our card to the wedding gift! It's just a shame we live in Hampshire and it's not our local! Would highly recommend.
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Conor and all the staff today at Waterside xx you made our Christmas truly magical xx we couldn't have asked for better food, service, atmosphere and laughter today xxx 200% recommend this place xx same time, same place for us next year you truly perfect waterside
My son and daughter in law, Max & Victoria, were married at The Waterside Venue on a grey day in March…but this did not deter us from having a beautiful wedding! It may have been cold outside, but it was warm with love, fun and laughter inside!
Kevin and Conor are AWESOME!!! They were so hospitable, patient and kind…nothing was too much trouble from the start of planning the wedding till the end.
They made things very easy for us and went above and beyond…so accommodating and generous with their time and service which was faultless.
What lovely memories we have of the Waterside….made even better by the hosts!
The venue is gorgeous and very flexible to lots of ideas….the bride and groom were so happy as was all us family and friends!
Thanks Conor, Kevin and staff at the Waterside!
Simply the BEST!!! (and better than all the rest!!)
So, being a wedding DJ, I was booked to do a wedding at the Waterside venue I was amazed at how beautiful it was inside and out.
After talking with Conor and Kevin during my down time who run the waterside, they explained that you get exclusive use of the venue for the day and can get married in the meadow or inside which was lovely and they have spaces for drinks canopies, a meal and thankfully a disco lol .
They clearly got Above & Beyond to make sure you have a great day and will work with you to ensure you have an amazing day.
They have a list of preferred suppliers who know the venue so am hoping to get on that list as I really loved how they looked after the happy couple.
I don’t think my pics do the venue justice so suggest you make contact and go for a visit to see for your self.
Very happy to recommend
Conor and Kevin are great hosts, answering all questions promptly and being fantastic on the day of the wedding. The venue itself is beautiful and spacious, ample space for kids to explore and guests to not be on top of each other. It’s a real hidden gem and we’ve had so much positive feedback from friends and family.I would definitely recommend this venue.
The Waterside Venue is absolutely fantastic, and so are all the staff there, especially Kevin and Conor, who ensured our day was just as we wanted it. It's such a beautiful spot, with different spaces available to use happily whatever the weather (takes away a lot of worry with ever changing forecasts, which was hugely reassuring in the run up to our big day!). Kevin and Conor supported us with all our questions, and were so flexible and helpful with arrangements and adjustments, and ensured everything flowed smoothly on the day.
All of our guests loved the friendly atmosphere, and complimented us on our choice of venue.
Incredibly great value, and we are so glad that we chose to have our wedding party here, it truly was perfect!
WE LOVE CONNOR AND KEVIN! We can't put into words how amazing it has been over the last year communicating with you both. Such a beautiful venue for our wedding. Everything went smoothly thanks to the team and we had sooooo many compliments on the venue and staff. We are sad to say goodbye but are now left with the most wonderful memories to look back on thank you you. All the love from us
Ava & Anthony
We had our wedding here in late September and all we can say is that it was incredible from start to finish!
Kevin and Conner were absolutely brilliant throughout the journey. They were always on hand to answer any queries that we had, accommodating when we requested extra parking spaces and were in complete control during the whole wedding.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning, so many of our friends commented on how good it was. It manages to mix the feel of an older pub at the front and a gorgeous meadow for the ceremony at the back. The bridge over the river adds to the aesthetic and the whole ceremony area is just beautiful.
Thanks again so much for everything, it was the perfect day from start to finish :)
The host and their family are amazing. They will feel like your own. Very experienced in handling a wedding and stress. The Venue is very versatile when it comes to weather changes. Beautiful nature recently upgraded. Very accessible car park. They do everything to make sure your wedding day runs smoothly. Very supportive and very well looked after. Couldn't have asked for anything more to fulfill our dream wedding.
The Waterside Venue was the perfect place to host our wedding reception! Thank you so much to Kevin and Connor for all their help and support! We all enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and had a great night!
What an amazing day we had. We couldn't have asked for more. Conor and Kevin were incredible, so helpful and accommodating. The day went so smoothly and the venue was absolutely perfect. It literally made our wedding dreams come true. Thank you for making it the most special day of our lives

I have to say a massive thank you on behalf of myself and my wife Ifigeneia, from the day we visited the venue, which I have to add we didn't arrange, we were welcomed with open arms and told have a look around, we have a wedding in an hou. We were shown absolute hospitality at every visit, from booking the venue, to all the visits to discuss the timings of the day, the food, the DJ. Truly the venue is absolutely amazing, not a single issue at all, the day was well managed by the team, and every guest complimented the venue and staff. The day was so magical and I couldn't recommend the venue enough. If you do want a venue who have proven success, run like clockwork and make sure everything is perfect, use this venue. I highly recommend using the services of food, florist and DJ. They work so well together and again thank you all for an amazing day we will never forget.
