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.

We needed somewhere to stop on our 1 day return trip to Manchester airport to collect a dog. As we aren't from the area we didn't know there wasn't parking. Food was very good and prompt service. Good price too. If we lived in area we would return. And the biggest plus for us we could take the dog in.

Lovely food, lovely location, lovely people. Reasonable prices. Shame about the small size portion of the sausage and mash.

After a few hours in the pouring rain walking around Lancaster it was a real treat very nice well cooked and tasty meal good service, and only gave the atmosphere a 4 due to loud party of girls lol Would recommend and will be back when the sins out as lovely canal side location

Visited the area on holiday and found this lovely restaurant during our exploring. Went back for an evening meal and had fabulous service with recommendations for drink and food. We selected the smaller portioned meals which was more than enough. Service and food was excellent. Highly recommend.

It was a triple birthday celebration and, from the moments arrived to the second we left, it could not have been better. Perfect food, perfect atmosphere and perfect service! We will be visiting again soon! Thank you for a special day!
