Dine With a View
The Waterfront Café
Lunch overlooking the reservoir. Freshly relaunched with an elevated menu, heated terrace, and food worth coming back for.
The Waterfront Café isn’t just somewhere to eat, it’s part of the experience in one of the most beautiful settings in Kent.
No bookings needed, just walk in, find a spot on the heated terrace or inside, and enjoy the view. The menu changes with the seasons, and there’s always something new to try.
Four reasons to come back
Food at Bewl Water
Elevated Dining
Our newly relaunched menu celebrates local produce with dishes made to be enjoyed overlooking the water. This is food worth sitting down for.
Heated Terrace
Recently refurbished and heated for year-round comfort. Watch the light change over the reservoir while you eat, there isn't a bad seat in the house.
Coffees & Coolers
Our pop-up coffee station for walkers and cyclists who want a quick pick-me-up without breaking stride. Specialty coffee, cold drinks, and something sweet.
The Ice Cream Parlour
Find the Ice Cream Parlour by the main entrance to the Waterfront Café. Stocked with delicious Jude’s ice cream and Doggi ice creams for human and four-legged adventurers alike.
