The steakhouse group Goodman will be closing its Canary Wharf location after nearly 15 years of operation.
On Instagram, the group shared that it had been “tough to keep things going” since the pandemic, with the final service scheduled for June 29.
However, Goodman, which also operates steakhouses in Mayfair and the City of London, stated that it is actively searching for a new location for the restaurant.
The post said: “After nearly 15 incredible years, we’ve made the difficult decision to close our Goodman Canary Wharf location. Our last service is on 29 June.
“This wasn’t easy. The challenges we’ve faced since the pandemic have made it tough to keep things going, despite our team’s best efforts and your continued support.
“To everyone who’s dined with us, celebrated with us, and been part of our journey—thank you. Your loyalty has meant the world.
“The good news? This isn’t goodbye forever. We’re actively looking for a new location and can’t wait to welcome you back when the time is right.
“Until then, we’re still firing on all cylinders at Goodman Mayfair and City. Come visit us soon.”
Goodman was established in 2008 by a team including Misha Zelman, Ilya Demichev, and George Bukhov-Weinstein, the same founders behind the Burger & Lobster group and London’s Beast restaurant. Each Goodman location features its own dry-aging room, where beef is aged for at least 30 days before being grilled over charcoal.
Earlier this year, the founders announced an official split of the business.
Goodman is the second group to exit a long-standing Canary Wharf location this year, following Breakfast Club’s closure of its 5,500 sq ft restaurant in January after 10 years of operation.
Despite this, the area continues to draw new ventures, with Big Mamma Group opening its two-story, 1970s-themed Barbarella Italian restaurant just last week.
