My recent dining experience at The Waterman's Arms at Bow Bridge, Asprington, was nothing short of unforgettable, but regrettably not in the way one hopes for. Let me recount my astonishing visit to this establishment, an experience that has left an indelible mark and a fervent plea for change. 1. Historical Setting: The backdrop of this culinary adventure was intriguing, to say the least. The venue boasts a rich history, with a section that was once a prison. Ironically, it was my taste buds that felt imprisoned during this visit. 2. Friendly A**osphere: The one redeeming quality of this place was the welcoming a**osphere created by the staff and owners. Their warmth and friendliness, however, could not salvage the impending disaster that awaited my palate. 3. Local Hospitality: The locals, too, displayed a warm and hospitable demeanour, perhaps aware of the culinary odyssey that lay ahead. Their camaraderie was admirable and provided a glimmer of hope. 4. Riverside Ambiance: The riverside location promised a tranquil dining experience. Yet, the serene surroundings couldn't compensate for the impending culinary disappoin**ent. 5. A Symphony of Nature's Sounds, A Discord of Tastes: As the river flowed and wildlife serenaded the night, their harmonious sounds were drowned out by the agonized cries of my taste buds. The culinary experience was nothing short of an auditory torture. 6. A Gastronomic Nigh**are: There is no humour in recounting the culinary offerings, which were a far cry from what one would expect. 7. Subpar and Scarce Choices: The menu offered a variety of options, yet many were unavailable. The limited choices that remained shared a common theme – mediocrity. It was evident that little care had been invested in the food preparation. 8. Betrayed by the Bar: The bar, usually a sanctuary of culinary delight, served up meals that were an affront to the culinary arts. My Caesar salad, promised with mouth-watering chicken, arrived as a wilted iceberg lettuce with scant chicken. To compound the disaster, the bowl was scorching hot, causing the salad to wither. My wife's chicken curry was no better; it tasted like reheated slop, a far cry from what one would expect. In conclusion, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to owners for offering an example of how not to run a culinary establishment. Regrettably, my plans to return with my family have been indefinitely postponed, as their palates deserve better . It was shocking to observe the restaurant virtually empty on a Saturday night, considering its former status as one of the most popular gastro pubs in the South Hams. The eerie silence in the dining area was a stark reminder of the lack of local support for the food. Perhaps it's high time for new ownership, a fresh perspective, and the winds of change. The current owner has missed a significant opportunity to maintain this once-thriving establishment. With the right vision and culinary expertise, The Waterman's Arms could reclaim its stat

We had an amazing stay. Everyone made us feel so welcome.

Fantastic old pub doing nice beers.A great place for a drink in great scenery. Our accommodation was little tired and needed updating.The menu was a bit predictable and basic. We were put in the overflow dining area on the Saturday night which was not very nice.

The hotel & safe were very pleasant but unfortunately the cleanliness and smell let it down.

Friendly family run business in a beautiful setting. Excellent food and service. Good clean rooms and easy parking.
