About Waterside Restaurant

Waterside Restaurant sits within the Draycote Water Visitor Centre in Kites Hardwick, Warwickshire, offering diners stunning views across the reservoir. The restaurant forms part of New Leaf Catering Partnership Ltd, a family-run business established in 2001 and taken over by current owners Mike and Helen Tempest in February 2024. The food philosophy centres on locally sourced ingredients, honestly produced, with a menu designed to bring guests excellent cuisine at affordable prices. The restaurant seats up to 120 people and is available for private evening hire, with pre-bookable party package menus for coach parties, organised groups and private functions. Alongside the main restaurant, the Waterside Café serves sandwiches, pasties, paninis, cakes and other snacks to eat in or take away, while a gift shop invites a browse. An ice cream offering and a seasonal Treasure Chest kiosk near the Adventure Playground keep visitors refreshed during the summer months. Dogs are welcome throughout. The Visitor Hub is accessed via a lift to the top floor, and the surrounding country park features smooth surfaced paths suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs, with a changing place available on site. Gift vouchers can be bought online or collected from the restaurant and redeemed at any of the group's restaurants and cafés.
