A modern-day meeting place & contemporary Inn, The Waterman provide a delicious Breakfast and Sunday Lunch menu.

The Waterman is just a short stroll across the beautiful Midsummer Common from central Cambridge. Providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere, this is the perfect place for a catch-up with friends or family.

The Breakfast menu features hearty options such as The Waterman Breakfast (or The Gardeners' Breakfast as a veggie option!) as well as the classic egg dishes and lighter options like pastries.

On Sundays, the Sunday Lunch menu takes centre stage. Start off with the small plates while you browse the menu. The Sunday Roast options are served with all the trimmings, or if you fancy something different, there are plenty of other main dishes to choose from.

    The USB ports on one side of the bed did not work (the plug points were fine) and there was little/no air circulating the room as the window was small and oddly double glazed - we were in room no.1. We did put the fan on, but it didn't seem to make much a difference - but it was a particularly hot day. There was also no bottled water in the room, which we had been led to believe there should be. That said, the decor is lovely and has an industrial feel, the bed was comfy and linen high quality. The location was great too, just north of Jesus College and close to the river, so perfect to explore Cambridge city itself.

    Very comfortable stay on a Thursday night. Nice room and bathroom. Good bed and all clean and tidy with secure access to rooms. Above a pub so expect some noise below until last orders unless you are having last orders. Great value and I will stay again and will have a pint and the veggie breakfast next time!

    Despite encountering a few hiccups with the room when we arrived, our stay has been made incredibly pleasant, comfortable and welcoming. The manager went far above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay, and we can’t thank him enough for his efforts. This effort will ensure we come back in the future, and recommend to anyone coming to stay in Cambridge. The breakfasts were incredible all the ingredients were clearly of high quality and we really enjoyed it. The guy behind the bar during breakfast service was very helpful and friendly (we were here Saturday and Sunday morning). Great variety of drinks, the gardens a really nice spot and we were on the whole very impressed with The Waterman. I will reiterate how helpful and accommodating the manager was, who I think is still fairly new to role, and his want to help will serve him well and ensure others come back repeatedly too.
