We were having a drink in the bar downstairs whist visiting the city and decided to eat here rather than having to walk back into town to find a restaurant. That was a great decision! The food was excellent - plenty of it and extremely tasty. The service was really good too - attentive and friendly.

Once again Amazing food and service. Best restaurant in Peterborough by far. Our favourite place to eat out.

We don't live in Peterborough so we don't eat there often but we had visited here about a year ago and thoroughly enjoyed it then . This time I thought I should write a review because everything was perfect , the ambiance ,the food ,the service and the staff could not have been better .We visited on 31st October 2023 and the staff were exceptional , efficient and attentive but not overbearing and that , in my opinion , is what makes a fine restaurant just that little bit better than others.

Asian dining on a boat! The "East Restaurant" and the "CharterS Bar" share the same ship towed to the embankment area in Peterborough. The "East" is on the upper floor and offers solid Asian food at moderate prices. They had a two-course dinner offer the night I dropped by, a starter and a mains for UKP 12. Turned out to be rather nice indeed! I found the atmosphere to my liking and the service to be efficient, if not terribly friendly (restaurants never like a solitary eater). All in all, a decent option in Peterborough, a little off the beaten track. Oakham bottled beers are cheaper here than on tap at The Brewery Tap! No outside seating though AFAICT, unless the vast seating area next to the quay belongs to the restaurants and the pub - it was completely empty upon my visit. And there's a good pub just below.

Four of us had dinner on a very busy Wednesday evening last week We had two vegetarian, one chicken and one duck dish for starters and all were excellent For mains we had one vegetarian, one king prawn and two chicken dishes. In addition we had some rice and some vegetarian noodles Everything was really good as was the service

We enjoyed a really lovely meal here in a wonderful location on the river. As well as enjoying good food we were entertained by the antics of the swans on the river. It's easily accessible with parking not far away. Would definitely go again when close by.

I like this place! It's so nice eating on the canal side and watching the swans go by, makes me feel like a first class passenger on the Titanic! (Although sadly no Leo DiCaprio to be seen ;) ) Perfect amount of food you can pretty much eat as much as you want of whatever you want. Only thing I didn't like was the buffet table- purely because it's kinda clumsy for a larger person like me to serve myself without knocking stuff over or knocking into anyone... But overall wonderful place, lovely staff, great vibe. Would come here every Sunday if I could lol

Absolutely amazing food, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The ambiance was beautiful and relaxing especially with the overlooking to the river. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and polite. They were busy, but didn't show an ounce of stress. This should be an example to show other restaurants in Peterborough who constantly fail at customer service. Very impressed with the waiter who told us what was in each dish, even pointing out the chillies. A very friendly environment and the perfect venue for couples who have started dating, or parents taking out their teens, or just friends enjoying a bite to eat. I will definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family. Absolutely wonderful experience. Now completely stuffed, but we'll worth it and great value for money.

I've heard great things about this place but I have to admit that I was not blown away. I thought it was good value for money but there was nothing really outstanding. It was a but noisy because of the music from the bar below and I was sat in a draft. The food didn't blow me away . It was all a bit meh really!
We have been to East today for the first time, and we were not disappointed! We were greeted by Bee, and the service was great. The food was so good, so good! We both really enjoyed our food and time today. Thank you Bee, we will definitely be coming back!

I have visited East several times over the last few years, ordering different food from the menu (apart from the heavenly beef which is a firm favourite!) and each time I have loved the food, setting and service. Would highly recommend.

We ate here last night with friends The food was as ever exceptional However the ladies toilets were disgusting , filthy a wait of 15 mins as they are the only ladies loo for both EAST at the outside Charters bar ( which was heaving ) Surely a restaurant has to provide clean and accessible toilets

Sunday buffet, what more do you need. Amazing price for some amazing food. The Singapore curry with vegetables was sublime, had to go back for more. Definitely recommend coming here, especially on Sunday for the buffet. Easy to get in and out and very friendly and welcoming staff. This was my first time here, will happily be her again soon.

Always delicious, freshly prepared food. The range of meals on the menu is incredible, love discovering something new ever time. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and a lovely location on the river.
