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.

Amazing service, beautiful festive afternoon tea. I did request a window table that unfortunately wasn’t accommodated. I would have preferred an option where we could have opted out for the veggie option to have more sandwiches or non veggie middle platter. I especially loved the gingerbread cake. The presentation was beautiful and I would absolutely come back for a special occasion.

I had a wonderful pre-holiday lunch with my wife! The cocktails were spot on. The partridge was cooked the way I like it. The staff were whirring about like madmen and women but never missed a beat, were attentive to every detail, and knew what I wanted before I even did. Thanks for the wonderful holiday send off!

We travelled nearly an hour for Sunday lunch and it was well worth the journey. Food was incredible, the best Sunday roast we’ve had in ages. You will not be disappointed. Portions were generous and service was spot on. We shared the pain au chocolate bread and butter pudding which was heaven on a plate. We will definitely be returning!
