Cosy evenings start here
Food Served
8am - 8pm
Perfectly positioned close to the River Cam in the heart of Cambridge, The Waterman is the ideal spot for seasonal pub food, great drinks, and relaxed hospitality. Whether guests are meeting friends for dinner and cocktails, enjoying sunny drinks in the garden, or settling in for a hearty Sunday roast, The Waterman offers a warm and welcoming setting for every occasion
At The Waterman, we believe great food starts with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Our menus celebrate the best of British produce, brought to life by our talented kitchen team. With a focus on quality and flavour, we offer a welcoming riverside spot for simple, well-crafted dishes, everything from Fish & Chips to Caesar salad and everything in-between.
When the evenings get colder, settle in with something special from the bar. Our winter cocktails bring together seasonal flavours, warming notes and creative twists, made for cosy catch-ups and long evenings. Whether you’re joining us after a stroll by the river or meeting friends for a relaxed evening, there’s something delicious waiting to be poured.
Gather around the table this Christmas at The Waterman and enjoy seasonal dishes, festive favourites and drinks worth raising a glass to. From carefully crafted festive menus to fine wines, local beers and handcrafted cocktails, we’ve got everything you need to celebrate in style.
Whether it’s a leisurely festive lunch or an evening meal with friends and family, make The Waterman part of your Christmas traditions.
There’s nothing quite like ending the evening with a final drink downstairs before heading up to a cosy room above The Waterman for a relaxed stay in the heart of Cambridge.
From casual get-togethers to private drinks or weddings in the Potting Shed, we’ve got the perfect space to host your occasion.
