• British • Canary Wharf
Booked 129 times today
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.

    We visited Oblix for the first time this week. It was something we always wanted to do! We went for the set lunch menu! Every item on the menu was curated well, the quantity was big enough. They also had a lunch menu for kids, which I didn’t expect. Sai Reddy was serving us, very friendly, welcoming and great in what he does. He made our visit special by checking on us regularly. We were impressed by the restaurant, from beginning to end we felt special. The overall vibe, all the staff around us was too good. I would highly recommend this place to people. We specially enjoyed the desserts! The chef did a great job with all the food we ordered.
