About The Ice Wharf

The Ice Wharf is a canalside pub in London, set beside Camden Lock with views of the lock and the water. That position gives anyone stopping by a view of the canal while they eat or drink. The menu lists 129 dishes, so the choice runs from a Traditional Breakfast to a Southern-Fried Chicken Wrap and Two Vegetable Samosas. A full drinks list sits alongside the food, with a bar menu for those who come mainly to drink. The pub is a modern building on the canal. You will find it at 28B Jamestown Rd.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers come mainly for the setting by the lock and canal, with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and prices they call reasonable at this large Wetherspoons. Fish and chips earn praise for quality at the price, food is described as coming out quickly even when busy, and the beer selection is liked, though one reviewer found the Guinness not great. Several mention friendly staff, ground floor toilets, and ordering by app. Service and upkeep draw the complaints. Reviewers say the staff are very busy, with a queue at the bar and tables left uncleared, and one waited an hour for a drink after cold food arrived, calling the cocktail like water. Another describes chicken bones left under a table, and one notes smoking in a non-smoking area. One reviewer cleared and cleaned their own table on arrival.

“I waited an hour for my drink after they brought me my food, which was also cold. The cocktail was like water, and the refresher was just orange juice, which I don't like. Small portion and not worth it at all , people smoke in a non-smoking area. dirty and noisy.”

“Came on Tuesday evening. Right by Camden Lock. Highly recommended. Huge place with lots of seating both outside and inside. Like the interior decor. Food choices quite wide and similar with other spoons.”

“A huge Wetherspoons with outdoor seating on Camden Lock. It is a very busy area which reflects very much on the pub, the staff are incredibly busy, so you will expect to find some tables not cleared and quite possibly a queue at the bar. Positive notes there are toilets on the ground floor (no stairs) and although there may not seem to be a table at really busy times, if you are prepared to wait the turnaround is quite quick, and despite how busy it was, the food didn’t take a long time to come out, and as we all spoons, the prices are reasonable! Negative, I am positive that the place is cleaned thoroughly overnight, but one of the tables by the bar had chicken bones on the floor underneath it, now I know it would’ve been done by a customer not a member of staff, but I walked past it twice, I don’t understand why a member of staff wouldn’t have also seen it and cleaned it up. When I arrived I needed to clear and clean my own table, I’m not too proud to do that, but it’s worth noting on a review I think.”

“Beautiful weatherspoons. The staff were lovely, bar one and I enjoyed reading the history of the pub. Food was perfect and hardly any wait. Perfect. ❤️😊 Sadly one member of staff let's it down. He was obnoxious and ignorant. A shame as otherwise brilliant. A photo of him is added.”

“A really stylish Wetherspoons in Camden Town! The place has a modern, relaxed atmosphere, and the service is attentive and friendly throughout. The fish and chips were amazing excellent quality for the price. Great value and definitely worth a visit.”

“Met a pal for a catch up. Guinness wasn't great, food hit the spot though and decent quality for the price. Not much of a atmosphere. No covered smoking area Tourist spot so I'd watch your belongings!”

“Wetherspoons in Camden Town is a solid spot for affordable food and drinks in a lively area. The building has a unique character, and there’s plenty of space to sit, both indoors and out. Service is usually quick, even when it's busy. Great selection of beers at reasonable prices. It's not fancy, but it's reliable and perfect for a casual meet-up before exploring Camden Market.”

“Great pub by the river. I’d never been to The Spoons in Camden, but what a great find. Less than £10 for a round of two drinks, and right by the lock, you can’t go wrong. Charlie was amazing! She was running around like noone’s business clearing tables and all sorts. Her service was top notch. I’m going back there for sure!”
