The Waterman’s Arms is a pub, restaurant and guest house at 1 Glenaffric Avenue on the Isle of Dogs. Its broad service runs from breakfast to evening drinks, with a comfortable dining room and bar serving local residents, visitors and guests staying upstairs. Seasonal menus and a mixture of traditional pub dishes and more contemporary plates give the venue a flexible neighbourhood character.
Bar snacks and smaller plates might include rosemary focaccia, roasted peppers, tomato soup, deep fried whitebait and a pork shoulder Scotch egg. Buttermilk fried chicken brings heat from habanero mayonnaise, while roast squash with kale, pearl barley and tahini offers a substantial vegetable option. Sandwiches filled with bacon, fish goujons or roast mushroom suit a shorter lunch.
Large plates include beer battered haddock with chunky chips, peas and tartare sauce, chicken schnitzel with garlic butter, and bavette steak with mushrooms and chips. The double smash cheeseburger is joined by Stilton, jerk chicken and vegetarian versions, each served in a brioche bun with fries. Risotto and changing seasonal dishes add further choice beyond the core pub classics.
Breakfast, Saturday brunch and Sunday roasts give each part of the week a different reason to visit. Sticky toffee pudding, fruit crumble, homemade ice cream and espresso affogato provide familiar desserts. Draught beer, cocktails, wine, champagne, coffee and alcohol free drinks support everything from an early meal to a longer evening, while regular offers and events keep the bar connected to its local audience.
