The Waterside at Chainbridge

Absolutely delicious food. We were genuinely impressed by the perfect taste of all the dishes. Everything was spot on. Would definitely come back if we are visiting Whitby again.

Perfection! Restaurant is riverside and the decor is lovely both inside and out. Staff and friendly and attentive. The cocktails are were a real highlight, and the restaurant were more than happy to accommodate for vegans. If you’re in the area, it’s a must visit!

I would get 10 out 10 for the atmosphere but absolutely NOT for the Sunday Roast!! We went there for the first time to try Sunday Roast. I would say "disappointed" due to the skimpy portion and the taste. The taste is average or below, especially the taste of gravy, it was very bland and tasted very salty when it's cold I couldn't finish the whole plate because of the gravy. Additionally, you only got a few bits of vegtables on the plate and there is no any additional sides. (I have my own favorite place for Sunday Roast which they serve vegetables + cauliflower chesse sepearately as a side and their gravy is so rich and tasty). Then, only 2 pieces of roast potatoes, 1 small yorkshire pudding and a stuffing. NO Mash potatoes or else. To be fair, the porchetta was good but couldn't enjoy to the fullest because of tasteless gravy and inadequate sides, particulary vegetables. We paid around £23-25 per dish so food wasn't worth it! (if it's at least taste nice I would not complain at all and welcome to pay!) We also ordered 2 desserts: The chocolate torte - this is the best thing of that meal! the chocolate is very rich and the texture is very good. I love this one. Basque Chesscake - this one didn't taste nice it tasted very eggy. I believe they put too much eggs or overcooking the eggs. We just couldn't taste the cream chesse or the soft cheese at all. I recommeded the chef to look carefully to your recipe. As I said, I love the atmosphrere it's riverside restaurant, the view is gorgeous and the decor is very impressive and thoughtful. We would give it another try for their regurlar dishes but NOT Sunday roast. We will see if their regular dishes will be able to impress us. Thanks.

We had a wonderful experience at The Waterside! After a recommendation from friends we visited for a Sunday lunch, and everything from the starters to the desserts was absolutely delicious. There was also a good selection of drinks on the menu, particularly, the non-alcoholic cocktails, which aren’t easy to come by in some places. The atmosphere was just gorgeous, with a stunning riverside setting that made our meal even more special. The customer service was also great - attentive, friendly, and really made us feel welcome. It’s the kind of place that offers great food and drinks while also delivering that personal touch that makes dining out so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning to try out the regular menu and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing meal in a beautiful spot!

a beautiful surprise in the whitby seaside area. exceptionally fresh and flavorful food, warm service and a beautiful waterfront location. best restaurant we visited on a weekend trip away, even came back for a second meal!
