Watermans Richmond

In leafy Richmond, The Watermans is a modern British pub that blends easy comfort with quiet refinement. It feels instantly familiar yet a little special, making it perfect for couples and small groups who enjoy good food, good company, and an unhurried pace.

The menu celebrates classic British cooking with a seasonal, Mediterranean twist. Starters include silky burrata with mango and passionfruit sauce or mussels steamed in white wine with shallots, garlic, celery, and double cream. Tapas dishes such as homemade manti, tiny ravioli filled with minced lamb and beef, come served with yoghurt and chilli butter sauce.

Mains continue the celebration of flavour, from grilled whole wild sea bass with mixed olives, artichoke, and fresh tomatoes to honey-glazed chicken skewers with avocado mayo and mango salsa. Pasta options include penne arrabbiata or tagliatelle ragu with 28-day aged sirloin steak that has been cooked for seven hours.

Whether for a relaxed lunch, sharing a few plates, or staying for a proper supper, it offers a welcoming space where Richmond’s character can be savoured alongside every dish.
