About Water Rat

Located in historic Ironbridge on the River Severn, the Water Rat opened in summer 2020 after an extensive refurbishment. This riverside dining pub has extensive gardens leading down to the river path and is the only waterside pub on this side of the Severn with gardens. The fresh, modern décor enhances the features of the original pub and there are six boutique ensuite rooms. The Water Rat is open every day and diners have a choice of relaxed bar eating, a dining room and a large patio and terrace. Expect traditional pub food with daily changing menus and a focus on regional and seasonal. The historic Ironbridge museums and visitor centres are within minutes’ walk of the extensive car park. The White Hart in Ironbridge is a sister venue.

Sarah and the staff at the Water Rat are amazing, so friendly and helpful. The food is always great quality. The chips are the best I’ve ever tasted l, cooked to perfection. You can be sure of a very warm welcome.

Lovely food and excellent service, hesitating on whether to eat here due to historical visits but I was impressed. The only thing my custard was cold with the crumble, did address this when we paid the bill

Was quite nice for the money apart from finding a slice of raw onion in the Baileys cheesecake which might of been stuck to the knife they used to cut it

Great food, very reasonably priced with the £25 meal deal with excellent dessert menu. Good friendly service and lovely atmosphere , welcoming pub. Dog friendly and pool table and darts in the basement added bonus with teenagers
