Visited the Waterside with our furry friend and the food was great, the dog was able to sit with us inside at the table and we ordered from the main menu, the ultimate smoked cheese burger, wifey ate sirloin steak as always cooked to her requests and the boys ate chicken nuggets and although posher than usual not a crumb was left to be seen. Paul the manager was great and ensured we suitably quenched thank you for a pleasant experience.

The food was nice,shame they've opted out of taking the vouchers. The annoying thing was asking for the unfinished nice macaroni cheese to be boxed up and the salad covered in dressing being put into the same boxes,that we didn't touch and went all over the macaroni. To let everyone know further to the visit and originally putting this review on I was contacted by them and asked to email them about this and what could be done to make things better. I replied,also putting how there was no mention of ruining the food we took home and have not received any response.

We spent New Year’s Eve at this delightful venue with my partner and our dog, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was surprisingly peaceful, and we appreciated the lovely seating area that provided water bowls and cozy blankets for our furry friend. The food was enjoyable, though there was a small hiccup when my egg didn’t arrive with my gammon; however, the staff quickly resolved this issue. Unfortunately, both my partner and I have since experienced some illness, which we suspect may be food-related. Despite this setback, the ambiance and dog-friendly touches made for a memorable evening.

Arrived with my friend for a catch up and some tea. When arriving we was given a table and asked what we would like the guy took our order and my usual order is the grilled chicken burger with spicy mayo. However the guy said to me we cannot do that as it’s not gluten free I said it is gf as I’m a regular and always order this when we come to your pub of the NGC menu. Anyway he walked away put the order through the till which left us very confused on what was happening. Our starters came really cold which was saddening and then our mains come and the gluten free order was not what we ordered at all. I did make them aware however they just said oh I’m sorry and that was it. The gf burger bun was so dry it was inedible so I had to leave that and then the chicken was very gooey and awful which led me to not even eat the meal. Myself and my friend went outside for some fresh air which we did let the lady on the till aware of which she said was fine and there was an elderly blonde lady employee who seen us walk to the smoking area and gave us a very awful funny look. I’m assuming this is because we went to head to the smoking area and hadn’t paid but as stated we did inform them we will be back in as we was outside getting fresh air. We love coming to the waterside but this time around I was very saddened with the quality of food and customer service was diabolical. Never had this bad of an experience with the restaurant.

Not dog friendly and raw food. Advertise themselves as dog friendly but aren't. Just because you let dogs in and provide a water bowl doesn't make you dog friendly. Felt unwelcome as soon as entered and couldn't relax, wanted to leave asap as not friendly. Then food arrived and it was raw and cold. Was replaced but after a mouthful of raw batter and uncooked cauliflower felt nauseous and couldn't eat the replacement, also didn't help that it was very greasy. I won't be going back any time soon. Was very disappointed. The only saving grace was the young man who brought our food to the table who was great.

I ended up with a parking ticket of £100 after stoping there for 20 minutes for a drink I could not appeal because I saw the ticket after a month. Should have asked me to prove having a drink and did not even see the notice that I had to tell reception. Times are hard for everyone and what a pathetic way of stealing money.

We really didn't need the extras - although we just about managed to eat it all. Trio of meats was beef, pork and turkey- all cooked beautifully, roast potatoes, Yorkie, carrots, greens and a fab gravy. Staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Definitely going again.

I visited the pub today. The location is nice, I felt like I was in a park. The building inside looks good too. Food and drink were OK, but the dessert (ice cream) was almost tasteless and similar to ice in taste. You also could take care so that ground under outside tables is 100% horizontal and chairs with back support would be better than benches without support.

Didn’t stay at the hotel, Spontaneously stopped at the pub on Thursday to have some food with my family on a drive home. The Lady at the door was lovely and welcoming and sent us to the bar as the restaurant was fully booked. Managed to find one table that didn’t have a reserved sign on however one of the staff was incredibly rude and we quickly gathered that we were going to be an inconvenience so we left before ordering anything. The pub itself is lovely and the food looked great so a little disappointed we never got to enjoy.

Went for lunch with a friend on 3rd July and thought we had a lovely time. Made a table booking, parked in the car park, and went on our way after lunch. However, what would have been a 4 or 5-star review has been marred by the £100 parking charge I've received, as I apparently should have registered my vehicle with the bar or reception when I arrived. There was nothing on the website about needing to do this when I booked the table, and none of the staff mentioned this when we were seated. As a new mum trying to get out of the house, this has left a sour taste, and I don't think I'll be back or recommending it to anyone else. Edit to add: After a phone call to the restaurant, this is a common issue and they were able to remove the fine quickly. However, I'm not changing my review from 1 star as knowing this is a problem and not changing their policies, website, booking portal, or even having staff mention it upon arrival makes it feel rather predatory, and that they hoping you'll pay it instead of questioning it.

Fantastic food choice and arrived hot with care taken over the presentation. Free parking is available onsite, just remember to register your number plate. Can't comment on rooms as we did not stay here. A Greene King other in its chain can learn from.

It was just great. For starters we had: chicken wings, prawns and squid. All cooked to perfection. Seasoning was delicious. For main we all had steak. All dishes came as we asked, well done & medium rare. The waitress actually knew which one was well and which one was medium. I just don’t appreciate going to pubs and people mix the orders. The staff was absolutely great. Always present, making sure we were fine. My family enjoyed every minute. Best top 3 on my list. I've been back to this pub on 16/6/2024. Everything remains the same except for the Grilled Herb Butter King Prawn. They were undercooked and not the same size as the previous time. Not only that but tasteless. My daughter had Mac "N" Cheese and it was delicious. I had the T-bone with Merlot & Beef sauce and it was just perfect. My wife who had the prawns was disappointed.

Advertises as a real ale bar, however only one real ale on our visit, and not a great pint, I left half of it as it was simply not good enough. Staff had no idea of the Cask Marque scheme to which they subscribe to. Staff however were friendly and welcoming, with the venue itself clean and well presented. However a pub is judged on its beer and on this occasion it failed to live up to expectations.

We had high hopes for our Christmas Day meal at Pickering Arms, having pre-booked, pre-ordered, and pre-paid for our party, which included four young children. Unfortunately, the experience was nothing short of a disaster. Upon arrival, our table wasn’t ready despite our reservation. We were seated after a 15-minute wait, which was manageable, but things quickly went downhill from there. We were supposed to receive champagne on arrival, but this never happened. Instead, we waited over 45 minutes just to get our first drinks, despite multiple requests. The real issue was the food service. After 1 hour and 45 minutes, we still hadn’t received our starters. The lack of communication from the staff was frustrating, and when we finally managed to speak to someone, we were given excuses about staff shortages. The manager, who was unprofessional, blamed overbooking by Punch Taverns, claiming they had accepted 30 more reservations than they could handle. With four hungry children and no food in sight, we had no choice but to leave and find an alternative. We ended up ordering from a local Indian restaurant, which saved our Christmas dinner. Other families around us were equally frustrated, with many also leaving and demanding refunds. To make matters worse, the next group of diners arrived while we were still waiting for our starters. This experience has left us with no desire to ever visit a Punch Tavern establishment again. It was a Christmas Day we won’t forget, but for all the wrong reasons.
