The Lounge At Waterside Leisure

Booked for lunch, several staff passed us before we finally got seated. Table for two rocked like a see-saw. Need 20-20 vision to read the small font unclear menu, Service was below average, asked for a side dish of spring onion which did not arrive with main course. Food was okay but thought there was a lack of good healthy choices. Location is very nice but overall was a disappointing experience

Just cycled here from the village (Buckden) on a sunny day and being 30degs we fancied a cool beer and sandwich. Super views over the marina, lovely pint of San Miguel and great value food generous portion and all freshly prepared. Friendly service and a great setting. A must stop off if you’re passing and after a quick and simple pint n bite a perfect place to recharge on a weekend bike ride. If you’re after something more formal or greater range of food then the local villages a better option, but neither have the setting and chilled atmosphere. Simple, enjoyable and good value, will certainly be back!

Hadn't been here before, but were passing when I took my mum out for a drive so popped in for a drink. Cheerful pleasant service. Sat outside in the sunshine and enjoyed the beautiful view. Would definitely return and maybe for lunch or afternoon tea. Prices look reasonable.

Over the years with management problems etc the standards have gone down and down. New management in place but unfortunately not the funds in place to give the place an industrial clean, get in a decent catering team and trained bar staff. Unfortunately local feedback stops people joining as members. A fantastic location, hope the new management can get the place back to where it was several years ago.

It’s absolutely depressing, warm beers warm wine, no choice no draught lager just warm bottles of beer. You can’t have a meal, because they only do sandwiches, if your lucky a jacket potatoe. It’s sweating hot in there, there’s absolutely NO atmosphere. BUT the view over the marina is stunning the lodges dotted around the edge are so pretty. It’s such a shame this place could be a little gold mine.... The owner is obviously not bothered.... I don’t have any photos of the marina but if you look up BUCKDEN MARINA you will see how lovely it is... if it was a nice day you only want a warm coffee a packet of crisps !!! sitting outside with a book would be a lovely relaxing afternoon.....
