Landlord and Landlady, Rob and Jainie
Rob and Jane have spent their entire lives in the hospitality industry, owning a number of properties and were on their way,
with their three children to France when The Waterman's Arms became available.
Having spent four months out of the trade and leading a relatively normal life it took something as outstanding as The Waterman's Arms to tempt them back. Having never operated a tied house before there has been some difficulties but they are enjoying it
immensely and maintain their original plan
"Let's get it right"

Head Chef Craig
Craig was Head Chef here about 9 years ago and a fortuitous meeting with Rob on the watershed led to him working first part time then taking on the reigns of The Waterman's kitchen again. The calmest chef I have ever worked with he has a passion for cooking and a true understanding of the peculiarities of the
hospitality industry a great find and a wonderful head of department. He is the first Head Chef that has truly understood and captured, with his menus the vision that Rob and Jane have for The Waterman's Arms.

Assistant Manager Ivan
Ivan actually applied for a waiters job but Rob can "spot a barman a mile off" and Ivan has worked his way up from Bars Manager to the position he now holds. Slightly insane about his real ales, scoring 100% on each Cask Marque assessment,
he is passionate about this industry and will "pull a table out of thin air for you". Camp as a jar of coffee he assures us that he is just in touch with his feminine side.

Head Housekeeper Anne
35 short years ago this lovely lady came to work at The Waterman's Arms, she is a stalwart and a rock, her section is never a problem, except when she is writing on the right hand side of the office whiteboard,
ask her. A Willo-The-Wisp as elusive as the kingfisher if you are quiet you may see her dashing around the corridors, I normally just see a pair of feet under a huge ball of laundry!

Assistant Manager Matt
Proud father of gorgeous Riley, Matt has been with us from September 2010 and has impressed enough to be left in charge of the extensive restaurant areas and has been performing exceptionally well, so well that he has now been promoted again!
Unbelievably scruffy I think he could even make a dinner jacket look relaxed, fortunately his other half is easier on the eye!

Head of IT. Chris
By necessity a VERY patient man, as in "Crawford you have done what, how the hell did you break that?" Helped Rob get the website up and running and generally makes sure that anything that beeps or whirrs
continues to do so, we would be lost without him.

Tame(ish) Gorilla Woosey
To be found near the fire pontificating at length about any and everything, can become violent if you touch 'his fire' but is quickly calmed with alcohol. A whiz with a chain saw he can fell a tree in minutes, if you wanted it felled or not! A great mate and MUST be seen in his natural environment drinking with The Chisholm, but that's another story,...................

Dog Emma
Emma has been a pub dog all her life and says
'It may be a dogs life, but it will do for me'.
Passionate about sticks and stones she will happily amuse you on the river
and although now twelve she assures us that she will not be slowing down.

Dog Bow
A new (ish) addition to the family Bow is a Springer Collie cross and mad as a bag of fish!
He is trying his best to re-route the creek by moving all the stones, we have no idea why?
Very much the super model in the family he has the brains to match.
