Welcome to The Waterman's Arms

Welcome to the Waterman's Arms, a traditional  old English pub dating back to 1682. A real ale, cider & champagne house situated just a short walk from the banks River Thames. The Waterman's Arms is the perfect place for a pitstop after enjoying the surrounding beauty of Historic Eton. 

Our great location allows us to welcome cyclists (secure bike rails outside), local walking & rambling groups, dog walkers and families.  We have a beautiful patio garden that becomes a sun trap in the summer and a traditional log fire inside to enjoy throughout the winter.

Wholesome pub classics make up much of our menu, with a selection of seasonal dishes and specials.  A children’s menu, bar snacks & traditional Sunday roasts are also on offer all year round.

We have a large, free function room that can cater for many events including Weddings, Birthday & Anniversary Celebrations, Christenings & more with an inclusive music system, live music or DJ. We can provide set menus or buffet menus to suit any occasion & budget.

We also host regular comedy nights, charity events & live music.  The team at The Waterman's Arms look forward to welcoming you soon!

Our History

Built circa 1682, the deceptively large building has had a multitude of uses. It was originally the home of brewer Robert Style, and was formerly the Eton Parish workhouse, before becoming a watering hole for the Watermen and Lightermen.

The original Waterman’s pub was next to a sawmill in Kings Stable Street, back then the street also housed Royal carriages and horses for Windsor Castle.
