pub, ROOMS, Restaurant & beer garden 

A modern-day meeting place & contemporary Inn, we're open all day & just a short stroll across the beautiful Midsummer Common from central Cambridge.
We like to think we have it all covered… craft beer, an eclectic range of wines and spirits, fresh, flavour driven food & even a bed for the night, should the stumble home feel too adventurous! Not only that, you can sample our wares in the sun-kissed courtyard during warmer months or snuggle up under a blanket and our heat lamps in the chillier months. Why don't you check out our event space, the ‘Potting Shed' whilst you're there.
From quizzes to sport, find out about our upcoming events and what's on at The Waterman.
Join us for a hearty meal or a glass of something tall, cold and bubbly. Take a look at our menus here.
Book a table in our garden, event space or bar for family, friends or a special celebration.
Cosy, comfortable and relaxing. Find out more about our eight rooms sitting conveniently located above the pub.

Two-Night Winter Unwind

Unwind this winter with a two-night stay for two. We’ll give you a bang-on brekkie on both mornings, and a bottle of Martin Codax 'Alba Martin' Albarino or Susana Balbo Malbec to hunker down and enjoy in a cosy pub corner on either night.
