The lamb shoulder is a feast-like centrepiece of tender, perfectly cooked meat, best eaten between alternating bites of crispy roast potatoes and braised, garlicky greens." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

Where To Eat When You're Visiting London - London - The Infatuation

"A classy pub that sits on the Thames in a leafy corner of Barnes, The Waterman’s Arms is worth a trip west for the finest Sunday roast we’ve had in London. Nothing feels more right than settling down here, ordering a few pints, and tearing away at tender lamb shoulder, a hunk of porchetta, or a whole spit-roast chicken with onion broth. Inside it’s all wood panelling and happy families bickering over the last roastie, before an inevitable order of chocolate mousse." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley

"There’s something that just feels right as soon as you enter this terrific Thames-side pub. Dating back to the 1850s, it’s got character to spare and a cosy atmosphere being heartily enjoyed by one and all – while the scent of fresh flowers on the tables combines with appetising aromas from the kitchen. Start with a snack, like the homemade Merguez sausage with labneh, before choosing one of the vibrantly flavoured main dishes, including a selection of steaks and fresh fish from the blackboard. The bright and attentive team are the icing on the cake." - Michelin Inspector
