This Bank Holiday Monday, 26th May, we invite you to a very special day at The Wharf as we mark the 85th anniversary of the heroic Little Ships evacuation from Dunkirk — a defining moment in history that began right here on our doorstep.

Located on the historic site of Tough's Boatyard, The Wharf is proud to honour its legacy. In 1940, dozens of small civilian vessels departed from this very spot in Teddington to help rescue over 330,000 Allied soldiers trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk. It's a story of bravery, community, and resilience — and we're commemorating it with something special.

Bank Holiday Offer – Monday 26th May Only

Fabulous 25% discount on food all day for anyone dining on two courses from our A La Carte Menu including a Main Course.

Please mention the code Dunkirk 85 to your waiter to access your discount.

Live Music through the day

Join us by the river to dine, remember, and celebrate the spirit of those who answered the call in 1940. Whether you're a history lover, a local, or just looking for a memorable way to enjoy the Bank Holiday — we'd be honoured to welcome you.

Spaces are limited — book your table now!
