Restaurants near Goldsmiths University

With the pleasure of dining at Hawksmoor Wood Wharf to celebrate a special birthday, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The porterhouse was cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The side dishes complemented the steak beautifully, each one thoughtfully prepared with attention to detail. The desserts were a highlight as well, particularly the indulgent chocolate plate that arrived with a candle, a lovely touch to make the evening even more memorable. Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond to make the celebration feel truly special, showing genuine care and attention to every detail. Hawksmoor Wood Wharf really knows how to deliver a top-notch dining experience, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to enjoy great food in a welcoming, professional setting.

Great meal at the Ivy. Had a slight issue with the steaks not being cooked according to the order but they re-did them and they were then perfect. To apologise they kindly offered us deserts on the house which was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend and we will return. The customer service was excellent and was exactly what I would hope for if things don't go 100% correct.

Very friendly welcome and shown to table straight away. Place was very busy for a Thursday night but felt instantly welcome, and a good vibe to the place. Waiter/server was really helpful and explained the menu to us in great detail, with recommendations on portion size. Good range of drinks and prompt delivery. We didn’t like the sound of part of the starter, but they were happy to change bits for us. We had the All In, which was a selection of skinny chops, pork, lamb and beef served on bread, so it soaks up the juices! All cooked to perfection and bloody delicious! We had the best beef dripping chips I’ve ever tasted and a coal baked sweet potatoes that was jaw droppingly tasty! The garlic bone marrow was excellent, and the Blacklock gravy was full of flavour! I bucked the trend on dessert and plumped for pigs head on toast which was on the starters list. Enjoyed every mouthful and the server had put a candle in it as it was my Birthday! Good music playing in the background which wasn’t too loud. This place is an absolute gem and also welcomes well behaved dogs! Will definitely be making another visit to try other menu items!

Food was unreal and cocktails were unique. Live DJ was a nice touch as well. Didn’t give 5 stars because the restaurant was overcrowded and staff took a while to notice us. Perhaps it wasn’t table service - but that never was made clear to us, and the bill was brought to the table when we asked for it. The seating layout was awkward too, we were wedged in between two longer tables diagonally.

Had a great time with our experience overall (always). We celebrated my friend's bday and it went well. The staff was really accommodating and was quick in terms of service. Me and my husband are regular customer in this pizza resto. Their pizza is always on the top our list. Kudos to all the staff specially to the manager who is always providing the best service.👌 We'll definitely come back soon!
