For those who know me well, they will know that two of my favorite things in life are living and eating. So today, I am excited to share about a special dining experience that brought a smile to my face - smoked salmon from Britain's oldest fish smokery. H. Forman & Son, located on Fish Island in Hackney Wick, is the last smokehouse in the East End, founded by Harry Forman in Stepney in 1905 and now run by his great-... View all feedback.
Very nice restaurant, very friendly staff and eating was excellent, we even had a quick visit in the smoked salmon factory. definitiw will go back. I highly recommend this place.
Nice food and good value, my main criticism is that the restaurant was huge and entirely empty apart from two tables, and they put us right in the middle of the other two tables, elbow to elbow. It meant that there was no privacy and felt really uncomfortable in such a large space, and really ruined the meal. No one else arrived in the time that we were there, so it was very strange surrounded by some many empty tables and basically sat with a bunch of strangers in an empty restaurant. We only visited for brunch, I would recommend asking to sit somewhere else if this happens to you.
Nice canal side setting. Famous for the salmon but plenty of other options. Great menu of English wines
I discovered this place by chance and it was a great discover. The salmon it's amazing and it's one of this place perfect for a fancy date. Service was really friendly too the only thing I didn't like very much it was the interior, some forniture were a bit random.
Can’t fault the smoked salmon, and I really like their choice and knowledge of British wines. For me though, the restaurant is a bit stuffy and formal. The food (when I came 1.5 years ago) is good, but not great. Given the prices, I expected pretty flawless cooking and ingredients. I guess overall it is not really my vibe in terms of decor and ambience. My parents loved it though, when I brought them for a quiet daytime drink on the terrace. On that occasion we enjoyed attentive, friendly service and some complimentary petits fours lovely!
