Autumn has officially arrived at The Watering Can, and one of the city’s favourite café-bistro is turning up the cosy factor with a brand-new Autumn/Winter menu that celebrates warmth, comfort, and the bold flavours of the season.
As the leaves turn in Greenbank Park, The Watering Can is embracing all things autumn, think rich, hearty dishes, generous portions, and a stunning new entrance installation bursting with burnt orange tones, golden leaves, and rustic textures. It’s the perfect backdrop for long lunches, lazy brunches, or relaxed catch-ups with friends, whatever the weather.
The new menu has something to suit every appetite, from light bites and small plates to comforting mains that make chilly days feel that little bit warmer. And, in true Watering Can style, every dish is crafted with love, creativity, and the freshest, highest-quality ingredients.
And for those who can’t resist a little something to take home, the café’s home-baked artisan bread, made fresh on-site daily, is available to buy, along with an irresistible selection of pastries and scones, perfect for cosy afternoons at home.
What’s on the menu?
Old favourites are sticking around, but there are plenty of new stars too. Among the must-try mains are the every popular Posh Fish Finger Sandwich (homemade tartare sauce, baby gem and brioche bun), the Caesar Salad (pancetta, sourdough croutons and heaps of parmesan), and the ultimate comfort classic, an 8oz rump steak with triple-cooked chips, portobello mushroom and griddled tomato (and yes, you can add chimichurri or peppercorn sauce).
Burger fans are in for a treat too, with the Salt-Aged Rump Steak & Marrowfat Burger (served with American cheese, burger sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion and dill pickles on a toasted brioche bun) and a spicy Korean Fried Chicken Burger (loaded with Gochujang hot honey, kimchi, Togarashi mayo and baby gem, all in a toasted brioche bun). Pasta lovers, don’t worry, the Rigatoni Arrabbiata with slow-roasted tomato and chilli sauce, with the option to add pancetta or chicken for an extra kick.
If you’re more into sharing, or snacking while sipping a hot chocolate or a glass of wine, the Smaller Plates section is a feast of flavour, from Korean Hot Honey Chicken Wings to Patatas Bravas, Cheddar and IPA Fondue, Wild Mushroom Parfait, Beetroot Hummus, and the ever-popular Fish Cakes.
Whether you’re popping in for a quick bite, a cosy lunch or catch up, or just want to soak up the autumn vibes surrounded by twinkling lights and good company, The Watering Can is serving up seasonal comfort with a smile!
The Watering Can is open seven days a week from Monday-Sunday 9am-7pm. For the full menu please visit the website.
