Davy's Canary Wharf

Yet another of those work hangouts by the waterside.

Food

Right after the excess of Christmas, I decided to have a lighter lunch. There were 4 choices of hot sandwiches available, so I chose gamon steak, cheddar and mushrooms (£8.95). The sandwich was nicely made, on some fluffy white bread which was unfortunately old as the crust was quite hard. I made the mistake of ordering ham as it was quite salty. Otherwise it was quite nice. There were 2 pieces of leaf that they called a salad but the hand cut chips were very nice.

Atmosphere

By the water, which would be great on the few beautiful days that you get in London. As usual, this was not one of them, so we sat in one of the dark wooden tables inside. The style is of a wine barn, all dark wood, with oak barrels as decoration. I could imagine that it would be very buzzing when filled, but this was not one of them.

Service

It was the day after Boxing Day, so there were no people here. Still, the waiters acted like they were on “full house” time. It took ages after we were seated before we got menus, longer for drinks, and we decided to order then instead of waiting for them to come back again.

The food too, ran along the same line, and took ages to arrive. The bill though, arrived promptly – was given to the guy on the table.

C-factor

It was very expensive for what I got. I guess you are paying for the "atmosphere" and the glimpse of water view.
