About The Waterwitch

The multiple-award-winning Waterwitch gastro-pub is situated on the picturesque Lancaster Canal, a five-minute stroll away from the hustle and bustle of the historic city centre. Originally converted from purpose-built stables in 1978, it’s a destination for all seasons with a huge outdoor seating area for those lovely spring/summer days and a cosy log fire and twinkly fairy lights to welcome you in the colder months. A large range of high-quality dishes are on offer ranging from Great British pub classics to Continental cuisine. Sunday roasts are served every week and they have a good range of pizzas, burgers, and their very popular deli boards - perfect for sharing. Specials which feature over the weekend are a highlight too. The Waterwitch is also well known for its cask ales with rotating beers over seven hand-pulls. More than 70% of the ales come from breweries less than 50 miles away. There is also an extensive gin and whisky range and a vast wine offering. Allergies and intolerances are catered for and there is a separate gluten-free menu available.

Good food, but very disappointed after seeing “Grill night” advertised on website and then when viewing the menu on arrival and realising that it no longer exists! Reluctant to return.

First time on a visit to see our daughter at uni. The hanging tandoori chicken kebab was lovely and ribs got a thumbs up. Good value with the discount for grill night and staff are really friendly and helpful. Would be lovely in the summer when can sit outside by the canal. Would recommend and my daughter definitely coming back to try one of the other specials nights.

Booked for a family birthday celebration. Two of us ordered the lasagne from the specials menu, which turned out to be vegetarian even though it hadn't stated that on the menu. It was a very poor version of a veggie lasagne too - just a few chunks of veg in a very sloppy sauce and hardly any pasta. Expensive for what it was and my daughter left most of hers. Raised it with a staff member when he came to collect the plates but just told they would correct the menu - no apology for misleading us.

It was our first family visit and we enjoyed the Sunday lunch. The only downside was you did not serve the Sunday lunch in kids portions. So we had to purchase an adult’s portion for a 8 year old. Good job she has a good appetite.

The Waterwitch was easy to find sitting along the towpath. We hope to visit again in warmer weather and sit outside.
