About Venue

Since 2002 The Waterway has established itself as one of Maida Vale’s best local restaurants and one of London’s greatest outdoor terraces with spectacular views overlooking the beautiful Grand Union Canal.
We have a large terrace outside in the summer and a cosy inside for the winter that feels like a ski chalet, complete with fireplace, live music and a superb menu all year round.

Our newly developed luxury function room is perfect for any event your mind can imagine. From speed dating, weddings, table tennis tournaments to birthday celebrations our versatile room can suit so many needs for that special event. Equipped with its own bar, self serving keg pourers and lounge area your guests will be wowed by the space.

Our menu is predominantly French and Modern European and focuses on delivering classic brasserie dishes. On the weekends come and enjoy brunch and a delicious Sunday Roast.

The room is 90 square feet and has its own fully stock bar, lounge area and self serving kegs. You have your own private toilets and small garden. The room is very versatile and can be arranged to suit your event needs

    Great location and great food. The Waterway was lovely for a sunny Sunday lunch and stroll around Little Venice! 🔸️The Ham Hock Croquettes were delicious and the mustard sauce was sublime! 🍔The Beef Burger was juice and tasty! 🧀The Mac & Cheese was really light and creamy but not too rich! It was busy and while our waiter was very sweet and apologetic for the delay (we waited a bit to order after being seated). I do feel that the manager, instead of going around and putting the customers at ease and saying "I can't take your order", they could've stepped in to help the waiters a bit more rather than just make that statement and not really aleviate the pressure. Other than that, everything was great! Huge thank you to our waiter, didn't get their name! 👏🏼

    My friend and I wandered in on a cool summer night due to the Google Reviews about their brownie with ice-cream. Their patio is lovely, with heaters outside and great view of the canal. Plus there was live music! I was tempted by the gnocchi, with English peas and mushrooms. The sauce was delicious, but the tanginess of the pickled mushrooms clashed with the creaminess - perhaps just a personal preference. My friend’s cocktail was delicious, and the rest of the drinks menu looked good as well. Looked to be a good place to bring a group (peep the pitcher of Pimms…). The brownie was well worth it in every regards. Decadent chocolate, fudgey, salted caramel, with a solid scoop of vanilla bean ice-cream perched on top. The service was a bit slow at the end, with us waiting a few minutes for the bill and having to ask twice. Albeit slow, they were all very kind. Would return again, especially for outdoor seating with a group!
