Stunning corporate event and party venue in the most exciting part of London. It has unrivalled views of the Olympic Stadium and is ideal for conferences, exhibitions, private parties. Was designed by award-winning architect, Phil Hudson, in the shape of a 'darne' of salmon, with ‘scales’ tiling the roof, ‘bones’ supporting the structure and the smokery itself situated in the ‘guts’ of the building.

Forman's Lockside is our outdoor riverside space with a beautiful lawn and terraced area, facing the Olympic Park. The space has extendable automatic awnings to provide rain shelter.

    I should possibly give this place 4 stars as it doesn't have AC so was a bit unpleasant during a 30+ degree muggy evening; the food, wine and service were all very good though. I'd recommend the salmon platter for starters and the halibut main was excellent. 30 quid a head for food and maybe a bit more for a bottle of wine? Will go again.

    Lovely place, they opened specially for our car club on a Sunday morning for breakfast. Food and service very good and overlooking the canals. Bottomless breakfast of sausages, bacon, eggs and of course smoked salmon with juice and coffee and deserts. Very recommended.

    Five star food, service was slightly lacking. The fish dishes were possibly the best I have had in London. Great flavours and perfectly cooked and plated. Definitely try the smoked salmon platter. Nice setting and decor to impress. Service was okay only, the faults being: slow refills on drinks, the waitress clearing the table didn’t clean it thoroughly and one plate was left. But with food this great I would return anyway! Another odd thing, there were filled glasses of popcorn left out on the bar - surely those would go stale and be discarded if no-one sits at the bar?

    Nice food and good value, my main criticism is that the restaurant was huge and entirely empty apart from two tables, and they put us right in the middle of the other two tables, elbow to elbow. It meant that there was no privacy and felt really uncomfortable in such a large space, and really ruined the meal. No one else arrived in the time that we were there, so it was very strange surrounded by some many empty tables and basically sat with a bunch of strangers in an empty restaurant. We only visited for brunch, I would recommend asking to sit somewhere else if this happens to you.
