Fancy

Hawksmoor Wood Wharf is housed in an eco-friendly floating pavilion in a new riverside neighbourhood in Canary Wharf. Gently rising and falling with the tide, the main restaurant at dock-level is joined by a 120-seat waterside bar. Both include terraces with views across the water (squint your eyes and you might just see the ghosts of great ships laden with mighty lengths of timber that used to swing in and unload there). There's also a private dining room for up to 20 people named after the local legend Queenie Watts, a singer, songwriter, actor and self-confessed bawdy landlady (think Peggy Mitchell meets Joni Mitchell). The menu revolves around the best British produce the country has to offer with grass-fed dry-aged ethically reared beef, sustainable seafood from the South coast and some of the biggest hits from the Hawksmoor New York menu.

Great Sunday roast, staff were friendly and attentive. If there were any negatives it would be that there is no childrens menu, there were a few children there when we arrived and we had our children with us. I think a small childrens selection would be beneficial. I would highly reccomend Hawksmoor and i'll be visiting again.

Perfect, as always. Wood Wharf, I think, is one of the nicest locations to date. The Sunday roast hits all the spots and made a really nice change from going big on steak and chips.

We came here for my wife’s birthday. Service was amazing and the food was delicious. It’s not cheap, but Hawksmoor is definitely a “you get what you pay for” place. It’s well worth it.

Our food was 1h30mn late and my guesses who came from abroad were not happy
Hawksmoor Wood WharfResponded 3 days ago
We're really sorry to hear that your meal was delayed by so long, especially with guests visiting from abroad. That’s far from the standard we aim for, and completely understand how frustrating and embarrassing that must have felt. Please accept our sincere apologies for the wait and the impact it had on your evening. We hope to welcome you back for a much improved experience. – Hawksmoor Wood Wharf Team
