Want to go somewhere really nice

What do you mean by 'nice'? Does it need a Michelin star? Or are you happy to have lower quality food as long as the view is great? And what is 'waterside'? River? Sea? Lake?

Some clue as to where you are and/or which county/general area would also be good.

For example, the Seafood Shack in Ullapool is supposed to be amazing, but it's a bit of a trek for most of us.

The Waterside Inn in Bray. Right there in the title.

Rick stein in Barnes by river Thames if you like fish and wanted a day in London?

Westbeach in Bournemouth, a lot more affordable than the gin joints of Sandbanks.

NecessaryOnABicycle · 29/04/2019 15:01

How about The River Cafe?

PeachQueen · 29/04/2019 15:05

The Hand & Flowers In Marlow? Not sure how close to water you want to be.

So by UK, you actually mean London area... Hmm

No point suggesting Durham then, which is part of the UK last time I checked

Don’t touch, Milton Keynes is not London but not that far, but within an hours drive you can reach a lot of places

Why did you say UK in your post, OP, if you really meant within an hour of where you are, wherever that is?

My husband loves restaurants next to rivers, so this is a great thread for me to bookmark - thanks for starting it, OP!

OhWifey · 29/04/2019 17:38

Lots in Cambridge

Mightywease · 29/04/2019 17:44

Roux at Skindles in Maidenhead (well Taplow really!)
Boulter's Lock, Maidenhead
Waterside Inn, Bray

QuantamBaby · 29/04/2019 17:47

Fifteen, Jamie Olivers restaurant near Newquay is fabulous

notatwork · 29/04/2019 17:49

We had a lovely sunday lunch at the Nags Head in Abingdon last year. Not Michelin star but a really nice pub in a pretty town on an island in the Thames!

Godolphin arms overlooking st michaels mount in marazion

JenniferJareau · 29/04/2019 17:54

I second The Waterside Inn in Bray. Amazing food and they even had a boat you could hire.

La Pont De La Tour by Tower Bridge is good if you can get a bridge view table.
