Our goal here at The Waterfront Bar Bistro is to achieve a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. We aim to be the go-to place to meet with loved ones and colleagues to eat some great food or enjoy a drink or two. We welcome pre-theatre diners. We don’t intend to be too formal but aim to ensure all guests feel special and enjoy themselves.

Our head chef is working hard with the owners Greg and Lorraine to develop our menus with a focus on colour, texture, and flavour, ensuring a delicious experience while continually using fresh and local quality ingredients. We are all excited about the changes to come so keep an eye out on our menus.
The Waterfront Bistro is the perfect place to celebrate a birthday, wedding or any special occasion. Nearest parking can be found here.

Any cancellations after this time will lose their deposit and any cancellations not declared before arrival will be charged for the entire meal if a pre-order has been supplied.
Children
Children of all ages are welcome during lunchtime hours on any given day however we ask that you do not bring any children under the age of 10 during evening service. We strive to provide a safe and harmonious environment for all our patrons and find that a busy evening is not suited to young children.
Whilst we do not have a specific Children’s menu, during lunchtime service we would be happy to provide a smaller portion of some of our main dishes at a reduced price. We believe in teaching children about good healthy food and like to encourage them to try new things.
Payment Policy
With group bookings of 8 people or more who intend to pay separately, we require all individual payments to be sorted by the organiser and paid in one transaction. We suggest that you ask your guests to bring cash to help with this process. Please remember there will be a 10% service charge added to the bill for tables of 8 or more. We look forward to seeing you at The Waterfront.
