We spent time in the area and went to the Waddling Dog for drinks and meals. The atmosphere was great, the service prompt and friendly and the food excellent. Highly recommended by us.

We have driven past this restaurant/pub so many times and then one day decided to go in when we saw the "Pasta buffet" OMG it us outstanding and has become out favorite pasta place. The chef prepared the meal individually and you have a choice of ingredients. It is fresh and absolutely delicious - highly recommended.

Went back to this pub/restaurant for the first time since the kitchen was closed down for renovations with good friends who also used to frequent the place. We started out with one waitress - ordered our meals and drinks - meals came after one drink finished, my friend was served the wrong meal, so she had to wait until hers... More

We were looking forward to our evening with friends at the Waddling Dog. It is one of their favourite places to go. So, you can imagine how disappointed we were when the special of the evening - fish and chips - came swimming in grease and barely warm. We should have sent it back but we did not want to... More

Friday night, they have a fish and chips special and it is very good. It isn't greasy and they give you more than enough portions. If you enjoy fish and chips, then I definitely recommend! Service was slow, but it was very busy.

I've never been a big French Fries Person, trying to keep the calories down. But this is one place that I just cannot resist their Fries. The best I have ever had! Every time that I am in the area, just need to stop in and have lunch or dinner. A great place to stop for before boarding the plane... More

The Waddling Dog has a dining room and a pub. You may have both the pub menu or restaurant menu in either place. The decor is not fancy, but always has fresh flowers on the dining room tables. Great if you are looking for family dining or to have a leisurely dinner and talk with your friends. Dining Room also... More

With a name like "Waddling Dog" we didn't expect much but we were hungry so stopped. What a pleasant surprise! Our server was super friendly, knowledgeable and efficient! Our party of 8 tried many different items and we were all very pleased with our choices. Eggs Benedict were perfect, Fish and Chips the best of our entire trip, Beef Dip... More
