  • Sunday at Watermans Richmond

    1 - 8 people

    Multiple dates available
    There’s something special about Sundays at Watermans Richmond! Slow down, gather your favourite people and enjoy a proper meal — the way it should be. Our Sunday roasts are at the heart of it all. Dry-aged Dedham Vale grass-fed beef, slow-roast lamb with rosemary and garlic, or free-range half roast chicken — all served with crisp roast potatoes, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, seasonal greens, heritage carrots and rich gravy. Comforting, generous and done properly. But if a roast isn’t what you fancy, that’s absolutely fine. Our full à la carte menu is available all day, so you can order exactly what you’re in the mood for. From fresh seafood and sharing plates to handmade pasta, premium steaks and Mediterranean favourites, Sunday at Waterman’s is about choice as much as tradition. Start with a Bloody Mary or Bellini, settle in, and make an afternoon of it. Whether you’re here for the roast or something completely different, Sundays are best spent down Water Lane.

    The chef is apparently of Turkish origin who trained in Italy. That explains the eclectic menu with its peculiar mix of Turkish and Italian inspired dishes. Somehow it works and it works very well. This is the sort of local, independent restaurant that thoroughly deserves the plaudits it receives.

    The calamari was a bit off but my main meal was fine. The drinks were good.

    Lovely lunch with family after being recommended the restaurant. Service was very good and the atmosphere was warm and cosy. Sadly four dishes were already off the menu and it was only 1pm but thankfully we chose some that we enjoyed. The roasts were tasty, and well portioned and the kids options were generous. We certainly enjoyed a relaxing lunch.

    Lovely atmosphere. Delicious food. Great service. Tables are quite tight though and very close to other diners. Also, in the section where we were, there were two large dogs, one of which barked occasionally. I have a dog and not averse to taking dogs to pubs etc. However, the seating is so tight I felt like I was actually with the dog and its owners. I’m all good with dogs in pubs but this is more of a restaurant and I’m not sure dogs are a good idea here. That said, it wouldn’t stop me from going again.

    Really impressed with Watermans. The food is honestly Mayfair level quality but without the fuss, everything we had was spot on. Cocktails were great (dangerously easy to drink), and the wine list is actually very solid. Proper nice atmosphere as well. Will definitely be back.
