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.

Overall the experience was very good and all 6 of us enjoyed the food and evening. The meat was delicious, but the only things I would say could be improved was the sea food as monkfish was dry and the lobster a bit rubbery. Also the service could have been more attentive.

We had a lovely pre-Christmas evening at your restaurant. The atmosphere was cozy and the food was fantastic. The service was also friendly and attentive, even it took a bit longer, but you made the evening perfect. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Exceptional food and service as always, even on a Friday night! One thing they could do better, is offer a different type of olives as a side dish. They’ve had the same for a few years and they’re pretty dry and tasteless. Did the mistake of ordering again and didn’t even finish them

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave some feedback for us. Glad to hear you had a great experience with us, I will pass on the feedback about the olives to the chefs. Hawksmoor Wood Wharf

As always with Hawksmoor great food at excellent value. Now I know it's December and the crew is probably exhausted but the service had quite a few faults. We were given complimentary drinks without complaining beforehand so I assume they agree with my previous comment.
