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 11 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. When the grenades are flying he can still be heard saying "I only came in for a sandwich!" 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. |

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. 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! |

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 thirteen 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. |

Cats; Mango, Peaches, Damson and Mr. Fluffington
Flatface Loganberry III Not mad fond of cats so we have four! Out there killing stuff and bringing it home to show me! |

Doodle the Cockerel, Chickens and Guinea Fowl Fresh eggs, beautiful fluffy babies, I love this lot! |
