Waterfront in Wandsworth

I had a great experience at the Waterfront. Really lovely and welcoming staff, great atmosphere and food. Will definitely be coming back!

Great spot for NYE staff were fun atmosphere was great get to see some.fireworks over London. Had some.good food specials and great service. Great spot to have dinner and the move to the ship to party on

EDIT: Thank you for your response, however, it is NOT true. Your last order was NOT at midnight. We were there so it is unbelievably rude of you to suggest we are not being truthful. What do noise restrictions have to do with party favours or party hats or balloons? We love this pub, and have been frequenting it regularly for a couple of years. However, we were so disappointed when we went a couple of nights ago for New Year's Eve. We presumed there would be a touch of New Year atmosphere (dj or otherwise) party hats, party favours, etc. A special toast. There was nothing and it was really disappointing. The last call was around 11pm. Really, on New Year's Eve? This is a beautiful lovely pub. Someone needs to take an interest in it however in order to create an inviting atmosphere. Also, bring back the Friday night disco nights?

Poor place, should be so much better. Went in there on new year's eve as a 5, 3 adults and two little ones. Went in for a drink or two at 4pm, before it starts getting busy. Long story short, the place was pretty empty, as it usually is and why it's sometimes a good option for a quiet drink. A big table all sitting down to eat and maybe another 4 tables drinking. Bear in mind the time and how quiet it was, the bar staff, all drinking, kept turning the music up continually, seemingly having their own party. Terrible service, must be four at the bar and all just stood chatting whilst you go up to the bar to order drinks, takes an age for someone to come over and seemingly at their inconvenience at having to serve you. Anyway, music became so loud we had to shout to have a conversation - was genuinely like being in a club (we're in our mid 30s, so hardly past it). We asked one of the passing bar staff to turn it down, where she did, and it was fine. Then another member of the staff walked over to the volume and turned it up louder than before. At this point it was so loud the 7 month old started crying, so we just left. Came out, not exaggerating, to ears ringing. Thought I'd left fabric. It was only about 5.30pm. Anyway, just avoid. There's a reason everyone goes to the ship

Lovely staff, lovely food, lovely place!

Quality of the food is very good, a lovely spot to take your loved ones. Definitely on the pricier side, but with genuine views of the river and Wandsworth Bridge. We had the Sunday roast and starters, all delicious and good portions.

Hi Josie Just wanted to thank your team for a lovely evening last night at The Waterfront- we were really well looked after and the food was delicious - I am looking forward even more to coming on Christmas Day now! Thanks Charlie

Good range of drinks excellent menu and food. Good friendly service seating in a few connectedbut different areas creating a good vibe fantastic outdoor area with river (Thames) views if you’re looking for good sensibly priced food or a civilised drink this is the place

The Sunday roast is the best one in the area! The chicken and the veg roast w had were both piping hot, full of flavour and the perfect portion size. The service was friendly and super efficient. Going to be our home from how. This winter!

Organised a staff Christmas dinner party here and the service was 10/10. Stephen was really supportive and helpful throughout the planning, he was also really patient with amendments made. The waiters that served us were very kind! Thank you also to the chef who made sure all our food requirements were met! :) A great time was had thank you all.

Stumbled across this place whilst walking the Thames path. Lovely fish and chips and proper pie. Lots of space, great welcoming staff.

Lovely manageress who was very flexible with our booking. We had a great time.

The Waterfront Bar and Restaurant has become one of our top recommendations for guests at the London Battersea Travelodge, consistently earning rave reviews and stellar ratings. Situated just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, this impeccable Thames-side restaurant offers an inviting and memorable dining experience. Only recently, four of our guests dined there and returned with glowing reviews, especially praising the prawns and the classic fish and chips. Their enthusiasm sparked my curiosity, so I visited them to explore what makes it a standout destination. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by Shalom, one of their employees whose genuine hospitality set the tone for an exceptional experience. After introducing myself as a team member from the hotel, she immediately recommended the “Magic Prawns,” which she described as a crowd favourite. Shalom’s enthusiasm and personable approach made me feel welcomed and valued as a guest, and it was clear that she took genuine pride in her role. Her passion for her work added an extra touch to my visit and highlighted The Waterfront's commitment to spectacular customer satisfaction. It could see what many guests awarded The Waterfront 7-tars. The restaurant’s interior strikes a fine balance between sophistication and comfort. Thoughtfully decorated, it includes a cozy fireplace that complements the relaxed, eclectic atmosphere. The musical selection, which features a variety of genres, creates an ambiance that’s both inviting and sophisticated. I could enjoy a drink from my seat while taking in the stunning breathtaking view of the Thames, offering a unique perspective on the vibrant riverside activity—from dog walkers to couples wanting a romantic evening stroll. The iconic, beautifully lit Wandsworth Bridge was visible in the distance, adding to the picturesque setting. It was easy to lose track of time, immersed in such a serene and visually captivating environment. After a short while, Shalom returned with my order. With a warm smile, she placed the prawns in front of me and encouraged me to enjoy them. Her dedication to exceptional service, coupled with her obvious commitment to The Waterfront, left an indelible impression. The “Magic Prawns” certainly lived up to their reputation; each bite was rich and savoury, offering a "sweet sensation" that delighted my palate. The prawns were so delicious that I was tempted to order a second plate. Instead, I opted to sample their fish and chips, a quintessential British favourite, and it was equally impressive. The dish was prepared to an exceptional standard by a Spanish-speaking chef (please accept my apologies- I forgot her name) that could easily rival a Michelin-starred restaurant. In addition to Shalom’s warm service, I was also attended to by Ada, another friendly and attentive staff member. While Ada provided excellent service, it was Shalom’s standout hospitality and rapport that truly made my visit memorable. Thanks to its high-quality cuisine, relaxed and inviting ambiance, and outstanding service, The Waterfront Bar and Restaurant is a place we confidently recommend to all our guests. I have shared my experience with colleagues and encouraged them to continue recommending this delightful gem on the Thames. For all London Battersea guests and anyone seeking a top-tier dining experience near Wandsworth Bridge, The Waterfront is an absolute MUST. Shalom, it was the first time I was meeting you but your customer service skills exceeded my expectations. You are certainly an asset to The Waterfront. You are a VIP!

Went there for Sunday roast and it was not disappointed! So so so good. Hats off. The atmosphere was very cute and homely. Definitely will be back!

I went with my friends for Sunday roast. What a wonderful place! We had sharing chicken . The best roast ever! Friend of mine had Sunday roast pork. It was melting in his mouth. Crackling was amazing. The best vegan sticky toffee ever! Definitely I will definitely come back!

The best fish and chips ! Nice location overlooking the Thames . Good service too.

Spent a very pleasant Saturday evening here in November 2024. Food, drink, atmosphere and service all very good.

Recientemente visitamos The Waterfront y nos quedamos completamente impresionados! Compartimos el plato de marisco acompañado de una botella de Gavi. ¡Fabuloso! El servicio fue impecable de principio a fin. Nuestro servidor estaba bien informado sobre el menú y tanto amable y atento. En general, The Waterfront es una opción fantástica, ya sea que esté buscando relajarse en el bar o disfrutar de una comida memorable. Con su excelente selección de bebidas, platos sabrosos y un ambiente acogedor, es un lugar que recomendaré a amigos y al que definitivamente volveré.

We recently visited The Waterfront and were thoroughly impressed! We shared the seafood platter accompanied with a bottle of Gavi. Fabulous! The service was impeccable from start to finish. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and both friendly and attentive. Overall, The Waterfront is a fantastic choice whether you’re looking to unwind at the bar or enjoy a memorable meal. With their excellent drinks choice, flavourful dishes, and inviting atmosphere, it’s a place I’ll be recommending to friends and definitely returning to.

I had today a very nice experience in The Waterfront. An amazing Sunday eoast,the porkbroast was realy decious and the service is very friendly and edicient. I'll return for sure. Thanks guys.

This is a special place to me and it is a wonderful place to be. Sitting by the water, getting lost in a place that welcomes you to be in it. Truly a beautiful pub that gives you more than you can think of.

Esperé más de 30 minutos para que llegara la comida - fría, y quiero decir muy fría. Luego tuvo que esperar otros 30 minutos para reemplazos. La calidad de la comida era mala. Al personal no le importó que la comida estuviera fría. Quizás deberían revisar la comida antes de entregarla a la mesa. ¡Asombrosamente pobre!

Amazing pub, lovely view and ambiance! Our server Anna was so friendly and attentive. Would definitely return, especially for a Sunday roast

The service was excellent, with staff who were attentive, knowledgeable, and made great suggestions. Shalom was friendly and very helpful! The food was delicious, and every dish was bursting with flavor. Roast pork was superb! Crispy roast potatoes, delicious gravy, melting pork in mouth with beautiful crackling! Fantastic views! It's one from my favourite pubs in Wandsworth! Definitely I will come back

Had a drink in the Waterfront this evening and very disappointed with the cleanliness and maintenance of the place. Very grubby!! I didnt try the food and wouldnt with the above issues.

Only went to the pub for some drinks and nibbles on Friday night! We sat outside and the staff helped us with the outdoor heating so we could stay as warm as possible. Pub was closing and Alex one of the waitresses was very friendly and gave us as much time as she could for us to finish our beers before we had to leave. Thanks Alex, you are a star!

Nice place. Decent location beside the river. Food was OK. Sat outside. Prices were probably average for a bar in London.

Rude staff, unbelievable, will never go there again

Lovely place by the river serving good food.

Great food and excellent service!

This Nandos at kings cross is very funky and the staff here are always on the beat to serve quick finger locking chicken

Lovely river walk and a much needed Sunday roast beef with all the trimmings. Very good this weekend. Helpful staff and very enjoyable meal and experience

Had a lovely time at the Waterfront! Such a beautiful setting.

Great restaurant..Staff very friendly...Food was also very good...even with more than 10 people, the food was there quickly and still hot..The ambience was also very nice...the guest feels very comfortable there ☆☆☆☆☆

The best Sunday roast in London! The staff are super friendly and great location. Definitely coming back next week with friends!

Hey Stephennn, love the new cards xx

Bit pricey and staff were ok if nit a little strange but can't complain about the service

The seafood platter and the haddock were very tasty. Professional and friendly staff, quite atmosphere and very clean. We will be back with the whole family, thank you!

Probably the best roast dinner I’ve ever had. Sitting in the sunshine with a fabulous view along the river. Good times. Highly recommended

Update- very impressed that the manager listened to our concerns and was very receptive to our comments and said they would deal with our concerns. Well done for following up on this! Please teach your barmaid some customer service skills. Also, how to pull a pint. Mr Young would not approve.

Food was good especially the fish and chips, staff friendly service quick and efficient nice riverside views

Definitely the best pub around here! Some of the friendliest staff in London and lovely service. On top of that, fantastic atmosphere. Right by the river as well. Alex, one of the bar staff, is so friendly and made us feel so welcome. 100% would recommend

Having family nearby we would normally plan a trip for meal to waterfront due to excellent location but recent experience was quite awful. Tried to order childs sausage & chips to be told no pork sausages so changed and then requested adults sausages and mash which was fine at time of order but subsequently told after paying no sausages either!!! Got most of our order bar one meal reasonably quickly and when queried was told that someone had gone to shop to purchase lettuce!! Eventually last meal arrived after everyone else had nearly finished. Unfortunately have had more poor meals in waterfront than good so we as family group will not be back which is disappointing

Delicious king prawns from the starters and crab linguine for our main, weather was great so we had a great day by the river !!! Thanks Waterfront team for looking after us !

The place is beautiful and the outdoor tables are beautiful

We are regulars at the waterfront, which we usually really enjoy going to! Not sure if a change in management but service was chaotic, staff all huddled together and swearing - a real lack of effort or care. Drinks were made wrong; we ordered margarita spritz but got mojito spritz made with tequila. I get that sometimes it’s easy to drop the ball during the lull of a busy shift, but it really isn’t a good look.

Abysmal service, booked for dinner and ended up walking out.

Alfie was amazing. We weren’t the exactly the easiest bunch but he was patient and did everything with a smile. Was really impressed with his service. 10/10

Visited this place this evening to grab some dinner and a couple drinks. Myself and my girlfriend sat outside at first and enjoyed our drinks. Great view and atmosphere. But at 16 pounds for 1 330ml bottle of beer and 1 aperol spritz I'd expect as much. We then went inside to eat and given that it's a Sunday we both went for the Chicken roast. I also tried to order us a side each of Stuffing but was told that it had ran out. Not the end of the world but I then tried to order a full fat coke and was told that wasn't available either. The roast was OK. It tasted pretty good and it was nice to finally eat somewhere where they didn't overcook the chicken and undercook the vegetables. Not really enough Gravy but at the time we didn't consider it anything to complain over as we mostly enjoyed the meal. However when I got home I had another look at their menu, and through the list of what's included in all their roasts, I realised that a couple of items were missing (mainly the parsnips). After mentioning this to my partner she also highlighted that her meal didn't come with any Carrots whilst mine had. Overall not a terrible experience. But after paying 60 quid for two incomplete meals, 3 drinks, and a somewhat indifferent level of service it's highly unlikely we'll be back.

Service was at the top, delicious food, wonderful place, unforgettable experience.

Lovely interior, quite pricey at £6.80 for a cider

Beautiful place with amazing views

""The Waterfront" at Battersea Reach is a charming spot with a splendid view of the Thames. I stopped there for a drink and enjoyed a superb dessert. The ambiance was inviting, the service attentive, and the view of the river Thames truly enhanced the experience. It's a perfect place to relax and indulge in delicious treats while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Just a quick beer here whilst on a walk. Lovely place and looked lovely. Large area outside under sun umbrellas with heaters if needed, right on the Thames. Well worth a go. Menu and food liked good but we didn't try it.

Great food and helpful service. Relaxing on the terrace with some Provence rose was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon

Great food and lovely near the river really enjoyed it

Really disappointed with the service. It was a Tuesday night so not a particular busy evening. The service was appalling. We were a group of 8 and we all ordered our food. Some of the dishes arrived within 10 minutes. 3 dishes didn’t arrive for over an hour. When we enquired as to where they were, we were told 10 minutes. After another half an hour, still no food! The rest of the party finished their food finally an hour and 40 minutes later the remaining 3 dishes arrived! When we expressed our disappointment the manager just shrugged her shoulders and walked away. Wouldn’t go back again.

Does what it says on the tin, waterfront pub with outdoor seating overlooking the Thames river. Good place to spend a summers evening with friends. There are a few TVs dotted about the place showing the sport when a big game is on. Mixture of seating and relaxed sofa areas.

Had a wonderful evening. Booked for for dinner and received the most wonderful, warm welcome, service and experience we could have hoped for. Food was incredible, quick to be served, and left us wanting to return. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. A must visit if you are in Wandsworth!

Great location looking over the Thames. Very good roast beef, the quality of the beef and gravy were stand out

Amaizng views and sunny spots perfect for the great weather out. Nice choice of wines, burger was good quality too. Unfortunately stuff messed my friends drinks and we waited for long time for drinks to be delivered to the table therefore taking one point for this

We have come to this restaurant few times already but today (29/06) was really bad. The food took 90min to arrive! We had young children who felt asleep before the food arrived as it was so late. I told the manager few times about this. We tried to order some extra drinks and the lady at the bar said they were not offering more cocktails at that time at night (22h). I tried to ask then for some tap water for a table of 6 and the guy at the bar told me he was too busy and he could only offer me a glass of tap water. Then I asked again to another bartender and he just took a dirty bottle from the top of the bar left by other customers , re-filled it and gave it to me. Sorry but this is not hygienic. To make things worse, my trout fillet was off so I could not eat it. When I asked for the bill the bartender gave it to me to snatched back quickly after 10 seconds and broke it in front of my eyes without saying a word. He just told me to put the credit card and pin number. I was left speechless. Hope management will take this review seriously and take action to improve things as it is a pity such a nice place has a bad customer service.

Staff were nice but looked very tired and uninviting for a sunday evening in the summer. The food was OK, but nothing amazing. The mozarrlla is mozarella, not burrata as advertised. Also the staff is not well versed in dietary restrictions.

It's a great spot to catch up with the friends for a drink or meal. Love the atmosphere and, of course, the fact that it is by the riverside. 🙂

Excellent location - good attention from the staff. For a premium spot may need a bit more sprucing. But the Sunday roasts are just not fit for purpose or value for money at all. Drinks are priced to be seen with ...

Sunday roast was excellent. Even the yorkshire pudding was tasty!

Together with my friends we decided to have roast at Waterfront! We decided to try chicken, beef and trio. Oh my God! Absolutely delicious! The best gravy ever. Perfect amount of roast vegetables. Beautiful crispy potatoes! Definitely I will come back for more! Service was fast. Stephen was superb!

Rude staff, do not recommend Took them 20 minutes to pour a glass of wine and a Guinness and charged me for eating the olives that were on there bar It's a shame, it's a lovely spot ruined by the staff who think they're better than the customers

Very chill vibe, perfect for a tasty dinner and catch up with a mate. Big thanks to Alex the waitress who made us feel very welcome

Great food and atmosphere and even better service from Alex!

Bad food, most of the waiters/waitresses are rude. The weirdness is towards certain people even if those people were old people or families with young kids. This comment is very polite given the reality experienced.

Great location and amazing food. Never disappointed here

My sister just had her wedding reception there , Great food,Great service. A big thank you to Steven and his staff the table looked amazing.

Great pub on The Thames, with a pleasant riverside walk.

Terrible place, service, staff, and food. Avoid at all cost. Pricey for no reason. The food has no taste and the staff is rude for no reason.

1. Excellent simple mackerel. Absolutely fresh and delicious. 2. 11/6 light lunch a. My first course was a vegetarian tartare topped with crispy flakes of heart of artichoke to crunch with the tartare. That was soft textured, with a carefully curated mix of flavours giving a touch of spice. Unexpectedly delicious...I usually eat beef tartare. b. My main was gurnard a fish I enjoy very much, with a small selection of vegetables. Again perfectly cooked retaining the freshness and tenderness of the fish. And as I had asked, I was given breath space between first and second courses. The main was freshly cooked when it landed on my table. Thank you. CH Photos to follow

Gorgeous setting for chilled out drinks!

Fab outdoor birthday celebration. Food delicious and friendly service.

Steve is unreal. Caleb's good craic. Good portions for food, love a cheeky sausage roll if I'm not too hungry. Good music, great view.

Starters were very over priced. We got lemon chicken to start, which was essentially three chicken goujons, over cooked and dry, for £12! Strangely with a pesto dressing and cherry toms, it seemed confused. The pesto was nice but did not belong on the plate and should have gone with a fresh bruschetta or fresh pasta. Cheese burger.. really good!! Super nice cheese which was melted and slightly crisp, more of this! Patty was good quality, juicy and well cooked 🙏 Dessert we got the cheesecake, which was more of a "cheesecake", it was basically whipped cream in a disk with strawberry on top, again over priced. Alternatively make Eton mess, the same ingredients + Meringue (simple for a chef) and doesn't pretend to be something it isn't! Amazing views and great location!

A 5 star atmosphere in a 5 star location so I expected a 5 star experience. We sat down and ordered but it took a while for our drinks to arrive - that's one whole star deducted. We had these sharer plates that were very fatty and filling. Two of us had brie with oily italian bread and two of us had charcutery with oily Italian bread. It was very nice but I would have thought these sharers were a replacement for a starter but were quite filling and fatty. -I thought I had chosen right with a Chicken Ceasar Salad, and some chips to fill me up - I thought it would be light and I would manage to polish off the chips with no fuss, but the chicken was greasy, the salad was drenched in Caesar dressing to the point that the croutons were not even crunchy. So that's another star deducted - however I suspect the high fat menu is to encourage people to drink more, I feel like deducting two stars but there was a self service cucumber water station which managed to reclaim one of those stars back. Overall very fatty menu, quite pricey too but I'm not from London so I can't speak on that matter. Regards.

Even though I made a reservation, they didn't respond and I worked like a dog and ate trashy food. There was no way around it even though the table I was assigned to was taken over by a walk-in visitor while I was there to buy drinks (I told the staff), the beef and potatoes were hard overcooked, the carrots tasted frozen, and the cabbage tasted terrible. If you still want to go, I have nothing to say. The only thing I like is the riverside view.

I'm confused...where are the Calamari Rings? It's dissapointing that this is the quality of food when ordering a delivery.

Nice place for hard drinks and cocktails

This is the worst charcuterie board I have ever ordered it cost £25 really disappointing and not even served with butter

I was walking with my dog when I have discovered this place. The food was nice, lovely river view and outside area. I was served by Alex, who is extremely nice and professional. She was really attentive and friendly. I saw how she was engaging with every visitor and made them feel welcomed. I would say that she made my experience very special.

Great spot on the waterfront and really nice staff. Perfect for Sunday lunch. Shoutout to the lovely Aussie Caleb for always having the best menu recommendations and making us feel so welcome!

Lovely Roast dinner. A shame about slow service and staff not checking in often despite a period of quiet service.

Fantastic lunch spot and great bar snacks, the vegan ravioli were incredible!!

Food and service were perfect. Had the chicken mousse and the hake, which definitely didn’t disappoint. Would 100% recommend

Fantastic food great atmosphere definitely going again

Sunday lunch spot not to be missed. We have been to a couple of pubs recently for Sunday lunch and the Waterfront has been the best by far. When we have family visiting we like to treat them to a lovely roast and the Waterfront did not disappoint. Amazing Beef, Yorkshire puddings and the star of the show, delicious gravey. We can not fault the food or the service. A++++++

Great food Great service Great views

We had a lovely meal at The Waterfront. Special mention to Alex who was really kind and went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our experience. Will definitely be back!

Went on a Friday evening - there was a terrible wait at the bar, and all the staff were very grumpy and even throwing tantrums. Location is superb though!

What can you reasonably say about a bar that consistently doesn't employ enough staff? The staff seem rushed off their feet, not enjoying their work and you're left with the feeling they'd rather customers weren't there. It can take 15/20 mins to get served at the bar. Then you try to order from the table and that service is unavailable due to them being too busy. Closed at 2230 on a Friday despite the advertised time being later.

Such a great spot! They do a really good Sunday roast but also a good spot to pop in for drinks too on the river that isn’t too slammed. The staff are friendly, helpful and attentive, just make sure you tip them in cash and not via the service charge. We’ve been twice in the last 6 weeks - will Be back! Note - if you park via the underground parking, it can be tricky to try to get back in - go to the flats entrance and the security will let you in. Pay via card on departure of car park.

Great location. Horrible bar design. Very impersonal service and over priced drinks.

The Waterfront in Battersea offers a delightful dining experience with a diverse menu. The pork and cheeks pie is undoubtedly divine, boasting a perfect blend of flavors and textures. Whether you're craving comfort food or exploring new culinary delights, The Waterfront delivers a memorable meal in a charming setting.

This was an outstanding Sunday roast experience. From the welcome from Josh, to the service provided by our waitress, to the quality, presentation and quantity of the food, (best roast beef I have had in a very long time) to Jessica's professional, friendly management, to the beautiful setting overlooking the Thames, this is a truly wonderful place for a relaxing, highly enjoyable and satisfying lunch/dinner. Would highly recommend.
