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.
It’s that time again — sun high, sunglasses on, and the Waterman is calling.
Find a spot in our pub garden, feel the warmth, and let the afternoon unfold. Our Spritz menu is made for it — bright, refreshing and full of flavour, with something for everyone, including alcohol-free options.
Sip slowly, watch the punts drift by, and settle into the moment.
It’s spritz o’clock — exactly where you want to be.
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.
