The Windjammer

The Windjammer is located off the beaten track in West Silvertown. It is around a 10 to 15-minute walk from the DLR station. It is located around a multitude of new housing developments next to Thames Barrier Park. The area is limited with bars and dining establishments. This means there is little competition in the area. However, the style and decor are modern, clean and spacious. It is inviting and provides covered outdoor seating, which is a must in the UK. There is a limited amount of servers, making being served a long process during busy times. Due to the lack of competition for similar venues, the place can get busy on sunny days. The prices are reasonable for London but could be cheaper considering the being in one of the poorest boroughs of London. They offer hire and entertainment. There is an upstairs part that can be hired for events and parties. The venue is dog-friendly and popular with locals. It is a decent venue that can take advantage of its customers and lack of alternatives but still provides a welcome experience for those in the area wanting to have a drink. I did not try the food, but had bar snacks that were a little expensive. Overall decent and worth a visit.

Local pub. Good decorations. Friendly staff, not all of them though. Second floor is always closed unless first is full (big minus). In general food is nice and good choice of drinks. Wish the prices were a bit more generous. It’s understandable that it’s only place to drink in area but for sure it will attract more people if you want to invite friends to this detached area if it was a bit less pricey. Also I would highly recommend managers to talk to bartenders about not using drinks that was not sold to someone for newly arrived customers.

My friend and I had a pleasant lunch here on Sunday. Good venue with a nice view. It was very busy so I would recommend booking. We had the beef & pork roasts (see photos). I enjoyed the beef. My friend found the pork chewy and the crackling wasn't crispy so she will choose something else next time. Overall we had an enjoyable afternoon.

Went for dinner at this lovely pub, it has a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We ordered starters, main and dessert. The biggest portion by a bit was the fish and chips, the chicken burger and squid starter was also tasty. The sea bass was not to my taste, it was served with runny egg which I don’t think worked at all. Not much on the plate for that one so I’ll avoid it and get the fish and chips. Overall a lovely night and the Cheescake desert was yummy! 😍
