What User likes about The Lounge At Waterside Leisure:

View all feedback. What ManInBlack64 doesn't like about The Lounge At Waterside Leisure:
For somewhere with such a lovely setting right on the marina, you'd have thought it would be a goldmine packed with hungry and thirsty visitors. But no. There's no sign of any food, it's mostly deserted and even getting a cup of tea took a while as there seemed to be a distinct shortage of staff.

Buckden Marina is a lovely place. Shocked and disappointed at the state of the restaurant . No fresh food only tired looking prepacked food available. Old and u...

Nestled within a picturesque marina, The Lounge at Buckden offers a relaxed atmosphere alongside fresh, but occasionally inconsistent, dining options. While many patrons highlight the friendly service and stunning views, complaints about food availability and cleanliness persist. Recent changes in management and a new chef have led to fluctuations in menu offerings and quality, with some enjoying well-prepared meals during special events. Though the venue shows promise, it requires maintenance and attention to detail. For casual visitors, especially those seeking a simple bite or drink, it remains a charming stop—but overall improvements are needed for long-term success.
