• English • Canary Wharf

Booked 132 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.

Loved the meal, was there for lunch with my friend. Great service and lovely lunch. It was generous and hot and it was the set menu. Very good and love going to the New Boar. It was quiet so we could talk without too much noise around.

Amber Leaf London is one of the absolute best spots in East London! I have been so many times now and it hits the mark every single time. service is perfect for an amazing coffee break, but the evening fine Indian dining transition is where it completely blows you away. The food is incredible, the fusion dishes are out of this world, and the atmosphere is entirely 'osm'. If you want top-tier quality food, stunning modern decor, and unmatched vibes, I highly recommend booking a table at Amber Leaf London.
