Overlooking the Grand Union Canal in Maida Vale, The Waterway has become renowned as a go-to spot for alfresco dining. In the colder months, meanwhile, its cosy interiors will make you feel right at home. Clearly, this gem of Little Venice has a lot to offer. But perhaps an even better way to enjoy the top-tier food here is with a private dining experience. Choose from the garden, function room, terrace or restaurant interior, where you and your guests can enjoy delicious and affordable set menus.
The private function room is ideal for intimate dinners, boasting luxurious interiors and even its very own bar. You can pre-order self-serve kegs for prosecco or beer on tap, or arrange a bespoke wine list with the restaurant. Alternatively, go alfresco in the garden or terrace. Larger groups, meanwhile, should book the whole interior.
For more casual events, there are delicious sharing platters that will keep you and your guests satisfied through the evening. These include a classic charcuterie board with chilli olives and pickles, a mezze platter of hummus, baba ganoush, goat’s cheese fritters, tzatziki, olive tapenade and grilled pitta, or a decadent seafood platter of grilled squid, salmon goujons and Atlantic prawns with lemon and mayo.
For more formal dinners, however, the three-course set menu is a better bet. Start off with something light like the soup of the day or fritters with smoked tomato and garlic chutney, or opt for something a little meatier with the terrine de Campagne. Mains, meanwhile, include the likes of a roast salmon fillet, asparagus and ricotta ravioli, confit Gressigham duck or a deluxe beef burger with French fries. Finally, finish with a triple chocolate brownie, apple tart with nougat ice cream or a selection of ice cream and sorbet.
