Set within Richmond’s historic second oldest pub building, Watermans offers a warm, characterful setting for private and group dining. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner, a business gathering, or a lively celebration, Watermans brings flexible spaces and an attentive team to ensure a truly memorable experience.
Choose from three distinctive rooms: the elegant Main Dining Room for larger events, the refined Upstairs Private Dining Room for intimate occasions, or the bright and floral Garden Room for relaxed receptions. Each space pairs Watermans’ charm with a tailored dining experience built around seasonal Mediterranean-inspired menus, curated wines, and signature cocktails.
The seasonal a la carte menu blends British comfort with Mediterranean flair. To start, think silky burrata with mango, pomegranate and truffle paste, or a steaming bowl of moules mariniere in white wine and cream. Tapas-style small plates like crunchy courgette fries with avocado mayo, padron peppers with honey and sesame, or golden cod goujons make excellent sharing options and suit casual dining groups perfectly.
For mains, there’s something for every appetite from a generous plate of proper fish and chips to honey-glazed chicken skewers with mango salsa, or a seriously satisfying 10oz ribeye steak served with skinny fries and your choice of truffle butter or peppercorn sauce. Homemade pastas include showstoppers like lobster bisque ravioli with garlic prawns, scallops and salmon caviar, or tagliatelle ragu with hand-cut sirloin, slow-cooked for seven hours.
Available for exclusive hire, Watermans offers flexible private dining options that can be tailored to suit your event, from festive feasts to milestone birthdays or corporate celebrations. With its riverside location, elegant interiors and outstanding food, Watermans is a memorable choice for hosting with style in the heart of Richmond.
