The Water Poet
About The Water Poet
In the heart of the City, just off bustling Bishopsgate; The Water Poet’s well-worn charm is a breath of fresh air in an area usually dominated by super slick wine bars. The restaurant and pool room are popular with Liverpool Street locals and visitors to nearby Spitalfields Market, while the sunny beer garden draws in post-work drinkers from all over London. The décor is a mix of comfortable leather, red walls and gilt-edged mirrors which create a stylish but laid-back atmosphere. Chef Bernadette Forde serves up classic pub grub like steak sandwiches and burgers, as well as dishes from her ‘Posh Menu’ like chargrilled calves liver; roast plaice with creamed butter beans and fennel; and the irresistible Baileys and white chocolate cheesecake.

To get to the dining area, I had to go through a rather smelly main pub hall. The dining room itself was overcrowded, it seems they wanted to put in as many tables as possible. The temperature in the room was uncomfortably hot. The food was ok, but frankly I do not believe this place deserves the high rating it's got. I must say the service was very friendly and responsive.
Great little Spitalfields pub tucked away in a side street. We went to The Water Poet for Sunday lunch and they certainly pile the food up! All tasted good although I've had better roast potatoes.
Lovely Sunday lunch for 4 of us including a vegetarian who always bemoans the lack of a good vegetarian Sunday roast. Everyone very happy with the food and service.
Good pub food with a pint!
Fantastic, I love to have a roast that is great, this is, keeping it simple same veg for all and a winning yorkshire pudding as well even if you don't have beef. Great will come again.
