Hawksmoor Wood Wharf, Queenie Watts Private Dining Room

About Venue

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. Hawksmoor Bar includes a terrace with views across the water, which is suitable for dining and events.

The menu revolves around the best British produce the country has to offer with grass-fed dry-aged ethically reared beef, sustainable seafood and produce.

Hawksmoor Bar at Wood Wharf is the largest venue we have. It comes with its own heated waterside terrace, too. But what’s unique is that it offers the same à la carte dining experience as the restaurant upstairs – just in a more casual environment.


A lively atmosphere and quality drinks are a given, though: our wine and cocktail menus speak to everyone from post-work sippers to a weekend crowd looking for a proper night out.


The bar hits a high note with events. There’s space for up to 250/340 (winter/summer) people for exclusive-use drinks receptions and networking events. Or our semi-private spaces are great for after work gatherings, networking, all day delegate events, parties and special celebrations, with space for 160 people.

For seated group-dining experiences it’s 90 guests max for an exclusive hire or 60 for a semi private area.

For corporate events, we can provide AV solutions.



Seating up to twenty two people, our private dining room is named after local legend Queenie Watts. Back in the early sixties rowdy dockers, gangsters (the Krays and more), celebrities and thrill-seeking high society flocked to see Queenie – singer, songwriter, actor and self-confessed bawdy landlady (think Peggy Mitchell meets Joni Mitchell) – and she welcomed them all. “I just love people. People are life, aren’t they?”

We have a range of sharing menu options available featuring classic Hawksmoor dishes and the very best dry-aged beef, sustainable seafood and seasonal farm produce.

We want everyone who comes to have a great time and there are various menu options for vegetarians, vegans and any dietary requirements. Along with cocktails from our award-winning cocktail list and tailored wine pairings.

The room comes with AV equipment and a 75'' screen.
