  “Oh dear… not good. Tonight, my friends and family went to the Waterfront in Battersea for a roast dinner. The online reviews looked pretty decent, as did the pictures, so we were reasonably optimistic. Unfortunately, that’s where the positivity came to an end. There was a bit of a mismatch between the menu and what was actually available — cauliflower cheese, for example, was off the cards. No big deal, we thought. We’ll just crack on with the roasts. We ordered a mixture of roast beef, the combo (pork, chicken and beef), pork, and a portion of fish and chips. First up: portion sizes. I genuinely wondered whether we’d accidentally ordered from the kids’ menu. Three small roast potatoes, some overcooked vegetables, gelatinous “gravy”, and a Yorkshire pudding so dry that, had you dropped it, I’m fairly sure it would have shattered like a plate in a Greek restaurant. Then came the meat. My friend’s chicken was pink and bloody in the middle, while my roast beef was so tough it could probably have been used to sole my leather shoes. 😂 Unfortunately, the service didn’t really improve things. The staff were pleasant enough, but they seemed a little unsure and, more importantly, weren’t particularly attentive. No mustard, extra gravy, salt or pepper was offered, and once the plates were put down, that was pretty much it. Even trying to get someone’s attention to flag that the food wasn’t great proved surprisingly difficult. To their credit, when we eventually managed to raise the issues, a manager came over, listened and said he would “sort the bill out” for us. We assumed that meant the two worst meals would be removed. When the bill arrived, however, everything was still on there. Thankfully, I spotted it before anyone paid, and they did then amend the bill and remove the two dishes without any argument - so credit where it’s due. If you’re looking for somewhere to grab a cold drink and enjoy the view over the Thames, perhaps give it a go. The setting is certainly nice. If, however, you’re looking for a good Sunday roast, I’d probably spend your money elsewhere. London has plenty of better options. Hopefully this was just an off day, but at these prices, the kitchen really needs to raise its game and someone needs to be keeping a much closer eye on what’s leaving it…”

  “We had dinner at the waterfront on a Tuesday evening. We had to send the food back because it was cold and they were so understaffed no one could serve you - took so long to get 2 soft drinks when we ordered on the app and at the bar. Nice view and comfortable to sit outside but not worth the money.”

  “We visited The Waterfront yesterday with my friend to watch the Argentina vs. Egypt football match, and we had a fantastic time. A special thank you to Sophie for her outstanding service. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always made sure we had everything we needed. She made us feel truly welcome. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was amazing, and the service exceeded our expectations. We especially loved the beautiful terrace with its great vibe. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for excellent food, outstanding service, and a relaxing atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!”

  “We booked a space outside for a joint 30th birthday, unfortunately the June weather turned on us and we didn’t take the offer to try and move our party inside when we had the chance (hoping the sun would come out). The rain and wind continued all day but luckily the staff were very accommodating and managed to move us inside, which was a big relief! Thank you”

  “Wonderful food, great service, lovely views over the river. I remember when it was all factories so a welcome change to the area. Had a great night out with the family and Tom our server was excellent and very friendly ! ( only one thing, music was turned up a bit too loud, and couldn’t hear what people were saying to me!, otherwise all ok)”
