Business meetings, private dinners, year-end parties and wedding receptions can be held at The Windjammer for groups of 20 to 300. The upstairs Mezzanine takes up to 80 seated or 100 standing, and exclusive hire of the whole pub raises that to 150 seated or 300 standing. The Windjammer is a Fuller's pub and restaurant on the River Thames at Royal Wharf, in Silvertown, East London.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists corporate events, business meetings, private dining, year-end functions and Christmas parties among the events it hosts. The Mezzanine suits a half-day meeting followed by lunch, a client dinner or a product evening: it has its own private bar, screens and free Wi-Fi, and it looks out over the river. For a larger team event or an end-of-year party, the whole building can be booked. Several semi-private areas on the ground floor can also be reserved for smaller groups who do not need a closed room. The ExCeL exhibition center is close by, which makes the pub a practical choice for a team dinner or an after-show reception during a trade fair.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and celebrations appear in the pub's list of events, and the booking menu includes a wedding option alongside tables, meetings and events. The Windjammer works as a reception venue: a seated wedding breakfast for up to 150 on exclusive hire, or a standing party for up to 300. Couples planning the ceremony itself should check with the team what is possible on site.
Rooms and capacities
The Upstairs Mezzanine takes 80 seated or 100 standing, with a private bar, screens and views over the Thames. Exclusive hire of the venue covers 150 seated or 300 standing. The ground floor has semi-private areas whose capacities are given on request. Outside, a sunny terrace and a pub garden give room for drinks in good weather. The building is air conditioned and has step-free access, a lift and an accessible toilet.
Catering
Food comes from the pub's own kitchen, which serves pub classics made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Food service runs from noon to 9 pm on weekdays and Sundays, and from 11 am on Saturdays. The bar offers a wide range of draught beers, seasonal craft guest beers, cocktails, alcohol-free drinks and homemade lemonades. Event menus are available from the events team, and a brochure can be requested.
History and setting
The Windjammer describes itself as Royal Wharf's local, a family-friendly riverside pub near the Royal Docks. It belongs to Fuller's, the London pub and hotel group. The setting is Royal Wharf, a recently built district along the Thames, with the Thames Barrier a short distance downstream.
Getting there
The pub is at 25 Admiralty Avenue, Silvertown, London E16 2PN. Pontoon Dock station on the DLR is the nearest rail link. London City Airport is close by, which helps for guests flying in for a one-day event, and ExCeL London is a short trip away.
