The Watermans Richmond is an all day Restaurant and Bar in the centre of town, conveniently located on an ancient cobbled street that leads down to the waterfront.

Our food is the best of British ingredients, served with a nod to southern Europe, with favourite dishes ranging from scallop ravioli to fregola, veal chops and day boat fish. We also have vegetarian and vegan options as well as delicious puddings including tiramisu, poached pears and profiteroles.

We have been the site of a Public house for centuries and still offer a selection of draught beers however we have an extensive wine list focusing mostly on classic wines from Europe.

The Restaurant is divided into several areas: luxurious deep leather banquette seating, bar counters perfect for lunches and more casual dining and cosy fireside dining in our upstairs room.

We also have two outside areas, a perfect spot for a drink or bite whilst watching the world go by.

Great food, really charming service. Very quiet on an early Spring sunny Saturday lunchtime which was a shame as a bit more ambience would have rounded off an otherwise lovely meal. I can’t help feeling the lovely room and decor is even better for an evening meal. Thank you for a lovely meal.

It is the second time I have eaten here. The food was delicious but I didn’t think it was worth the amount we paid.

Booked over a week in advance for Sunday lunch, requesting a nice table. Was put on the table next to the door, which meant bverytime someone came in or left, the door was not closed and a very cold draft was felt. Indicative menu online very misleading. as the prices were £7 expensive, hardly an indicative menu online. While the food was good, the misleading high prices mean other venues for Sunday lunch are better options. Service was okay, functional with hardly a smile.
