The Wapping Project

Everything about the Wapping Project was a delight. This place is an absolute gem. The menu has great twists on classic dishes and ventures into places that many others do not go to.... The cuttle fish starter was brilliant simple food at its best. The pecorino and Brussel tops pasta was both subtle and substantial and Foie Gras was creamy ambrosia itself. For the mains we all plumped for pork belly which had the crispest crackling in the world – the mustard mash was lush and overall the portions were generous.

Service was fast – knowledgeable and honest. We asked which starter was best – they replied that the cuttlefish was great. There was one portion left. No pushing of the slow lines here but a shared passion for food. We arrived late and without a reservation – neither is particularly advisable – we were made welcome by the owner who went out of her way to fit us in.

This is the first menu I have seen in ages where I could have gladly eaten anything and everything on the menu. The food is high quality, well cooked and beautifully presented and delivered by a team who care. It is outstanding value for money considering for the food – but this is only part of the story. The less you know about the building before you arrive, the more exciting your first visit – so if you like design, industrial architecture or contemporary art - get there and be prepared to the surprised and delighted.

Do not leave without making the calorie burning trip to the roof for the final bonkers chapter in a great story.
