Bowleys is far from your average countryside pub restaurant. Tucked along a quiet lane in a quintessential English village, The Plough was once destined to be sold to developers — until 120 members of the community came together to invest in and save their local. Following its restoration, the Yates family took over the kitchen and launched Bowleys, transforming the intimate 26-cover space into an award-winning, Michelin Guide-recognised restaurant and 360 Guide Top 20 Restaurant in the UK.Led by Head Chef Alex Yates and General Manager Grace Yates, Bowleys champions local, sustainable dining rooted in seasonality and provenance. Just 300 metres away lies The Nursery, their own kitchen garden supplying daily-picked vegetables, herbs and edible flowers — the heart of its field-to-fork ethos. Alex’s Michelin training at The Goring Hotel and Grace’s warm hospitality define its refined yet welcoming experience.

• English • Canary Wharf
Booked 130 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.
