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.
