SUMMER SOCIALS

The early season sunshine has already started making an appearance across Canary Wharf, with pleasant evenings tempting workers, residents and visitors to the area outside.

The time of summer socials is almost upon us, with the smart and the organised already beginning to consult diaries, form plans and make bookings.

With whole businesses, teams and small groups of colleagues all looking to capitalise on the clement weather ahead, it’s best to secure key dates early, especially at the estate’s top spots.

Having arrived in the vanguard of the area’s regeneration Hawksmoor Wood Wharf quickly established itself in the upper echelons of the estate’s hospitality scene.

The venue boasts an extensive restaurant on the top deck of its floating pavilion and a spacious 120-seat bar on its lower level.

Both have terraces for guests to enjoy dining or refreshment in the open air.

Wood Wharf is the brand’s largest venue and, moored at the head of Water Street, acts as a gateway to a part of the estate that’s become well known for drinking and dining in recent years.

just ‘a little unexpected’

Hawksmoor says: “Our Wood Wharf venue isn’t about reinventing the wheel.

“It’s about doing things properly: sustainable food, an award-winning cocktail menu and genuine service – all delivered in a space that feels considered, open, and just a little unexpected.”

Those planning seasonal events can look forward to a solid offering menu-wise.

Hawksmoor has long specialised in “dictionary-thick steaks”, chicken dishes and seafood such as lobster, monkfish, hake and Dover sole.

The cooking is big, bold and honed by the team over many years to reflect the quality of the sustainably sourced ingredients.

Crowd-pleasing sides such as Tunworth mash, macaroni cheese and beef dripping fries sit happily on a menu next to starters such as potted beef and bacon, smoked salmon with Guinness bread, roasted scallops and oysters.

>> Hawksmoor Wood Wharf boasts a 20-seat dining room for guests or businesses hosting private gatherings.

Named for Isle Of Dogs publican, singer and actress, Queenie Watts, the space features a large gold and wood table that can easily be filled with the restaurant’s classic dishes, sharing-style.

Hawksmoor offers plenty of options for groups to share, especially in its private dining room

It’s fully equipped for presentations and groups of 34+ can take a semi-private space with a dedicated waiting team and sommelier to ensure guests are effectively refreshed.

To make planning easy, Hawksmoor offers both a canapé menu, with bites inspired by the flavours on its main menu as well as bowl food options for those seeking something more substantial.
