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.

Hawksmoor is always a winner, great selection of meats, fish and sides. Bone marrow oysters are divine and I love the Caesar salad with an always perfectly cooked filet. Great for a Sunday roast, but I really enjoy a late evening booking mid week when it’s a bit quieter.

This is my second time at Hawksmoor, my first experience staff were great, however food was not good. Wood Wharf, unfortunately did not meet expectations. 1. They did not have the Sunday Roast or the Chicken on menu. 2. We asked for medium well, it was very well done to the point it was very chewy. Rest of sides were fine. 3. Our waiter was attentive, however this declined as time went on. 4. When the waiter was taking our order, another gentleman came over and asked what he was doing and to go help the other waiter, (which was to serve chips on the table). In my opinion he could have politely asked him to come away, to save the embarrassment for him or the other gentleman could have done it himself. Due to the food taking some time to come out, we did not ask for the steak to be redone, as we had to travel back. Staff at front desk were really polite and attentive, however overall, it was disappointing and with both experiences I would not return.

Really enjoyable meal to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We had a really lovely Italian waitress (Sara I think) who really made us feel at home. Excellent fillet steak and very generous portion at 300g. Sides were also great but could’ve been slightly bigger. Fries portion was very small for example. Overall a wonderful evening. Thank you.
