Serves meat, vegan options available. Pub by the water at Chelsea Harbor. Has a separate vegan menu with classic pub grub including soup, hummus, salad, gnocchi and more. Open Mon-Sat 09:00-23:00, Sun 09:00-22:30.
The only good thing about Waterside is that you can sit outside next to the river in Summer. The menu is unfathomable, with some things marked as vegan which clearly are not and other things NOT marked as vegan which clearly are (like olives). I ordered the Flatbread with Harris’s oil (marked as Plant Based) which was just toasted bread (not flat bread) and dairy butter. They did change the butter after I complained. The main course was supposed to be ‘Harissa Cauliflower with chickpea ragout’ it was just steamed cauliflower with oil drizzled on top, over a tin of whole chickpeas. No sauce, no ragout, nothing even resembling ‘gastro’. Just avoid it. Shockingly bad.

Shockingly bad for a so-called Gastro Pub - Edit
