About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Good for groups
Good for business meals

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.

I booked this restaurant in Canary Wharf for a birthday celebration with 5 friends having had an excellent dining experience in Hawksmoor Piccadilly 2 weeks previous. We all had the Sunday roast. It was not as good as expected .. poor portions and badly cooked. The great service saved it from a one star review.

Average - not good, and not good value. My fillet steak was not cooked consistently even though it was same thickness - rare on one side, medium the other didn’t seem like it had consistent heat on the grill to me. Also it was a very chewy cut of fillet, not great - as that is the reason I avoid more fatty cuts of steak. The temperature of the steak was also too cool. While the temperature inside the restaurant was pretty hot - not sure if your air con was broken or if you had the heating on. Side dish was pleasant but basic - sweet potato - not very exciting and certainly something I make myself at home but better. Also not sure how one glass of average red wine can justify +£20 a glass. This mark up is a bit ridiculous. Overall pleasant experience but really over priced and not good value at all. I’ve been regular at Hawksmoor restaurants for many years and usually this is my go to restaurant across your various locations to catch up with friends. However, within the last year or so your steaks have increased in price by over 30% which is quite a ridiculous markup as the quality has not improved and does not reflect this price tag. The taste of your steaks has also become more bland and the texture much more chewy - something I’ve observed over my last few visits. I feel like you now rely more on the flavour of the grill versus the actual taste as quality of the meat seems to be poorer quality. Service was fine, if not overly rushing us - I’d no sooner put the last mouthful of steak in my mouth and my plate had already been whisked away while I was still chewing! Certainly got the impression we needed to hurry up and that just was not very relaxing. My partner had a starter and dessert although I did not, he was very underwhelmed with the desert and likened it to something a child would bring home from school that they’d made. Sorry, not good.

It was fine. The steak was OK but not out of this world. I've had much better steaks at similar restaurants in London. The sides were much too small. Barely any chips. Service was brilliant but the food was just OK and at £150 for a shared steak it should be much better.
