Canteen - Canary Wharf in Tower Hamlets

Nothing too many staff over priced for not very good food had the steak and chips was basic nothing else with it 15 pound rip off had better food in wether spoons! My husband had gammon egg and chips also rubbish gammon disgusting! Got to pay for every extra thing eg salad sauce veg! Ridiculous an amount you get for price not good! Then they stick a 12.5 per cent tip on bill! The whole time u eat numerous member of staff keep come over ask if all ok and my husband stopped eating and sat for minute man came trying take plate away stupid place. Went in there for quiet meal not quiet at all staff to annoying. Wouldn't recommend go to somewhere else

Post work Friday drinks, started ok but then the barmaid decided to charge me what she "thinks" is the correct price for a drink.How dare she!But then it's probably because her fellow bar staff kept on whining about not being the glass cleaner (in front of customers). poor wages don't help improve the service either.Can't comment on food.

The Chargrilled Cornish chicken breast and garden salad for £13.50 was a complete rip off. The salad was truly pathetic. It was 3 rows of iceberg lettuce and a little of dressing. Truly taking the piss. The chicken itself was nothing special. I smothered it in ketchup to avoid drying my throat.

Whenever I've been to Canteen it's been one of the quieter restaurants around, and I've never failed to get seated in good time. Former versions of some classic English dishes - the sausage and mash is my go to.

Ordered "fish burger" , was served three fish fingers with a salad leaf inside a bun. If I wanted the cheaper "fish fingers sandwich" on the menu I would have ordered it.French fries were disgusting. Oily and bitter.Avoid.

I went to Canteen for the very first time last night and I had a very good experience.Food:For the mains I went for the chicken breast which came with chips, coleslaw and garlic mayonnaise, and scotch egg. The chicken meat was flavoursome throughout the meat and had a nice crispy skin which I enjoyed. I absolutely loved the scotch egg!Service:No complaints there, the staff were very friendly and attentive.Price:I think it was pretty worth it! I had a delicious meal and the price was fair. Unlike a couple of Jamie Oliver's restaurant which costs twice as much and taste like crap.Overall, I thought they served a nice simple meal that was very delicious. I would be going back there and would recommend it to others!

Another good option for a weekday lunch in Canary Wharf. They do all the traditional British comfort food: sausages and mash, fish and chips, sticky toffee pudding...

The "freshly squeezed" lemon juice came from a bottle and it tasted like washing up liquid, although they agreed on the taste and tried to make another it was the same. I ended up having a tonic and leaving

Shame about the service, c'mon managers, teach your staff some social skills..... Thx for the free drink, but would've preferred a timely update, when there is more staff than punters in. Apart from that would've been quite happy to recommend, as menu & food was good.

Hearty, heavy traditional British food, made with high quality ingredients, if not flair and innovation. If you took a traditional greasy spoon, quadrupled the price, and reinvested it on decor and ingredients, this is what you'd get.
