Pitch Wharf is a big sports bar in the middle of Canary Wharf, and its shuffleboard is the easy sell: free most days of the week, no kit, no lesson, just slide the pucks and try to knock your mates off the scoring zone. It suits after-work drinks, casual dates and small groups who want a game without committing to a proper activity venue.

The catch is small and fair. To play free you order at least one drink each, which is no hardship given the full bar and kitchen on site. There are three tables, so on a busy Thursday or Friday evening you may wait, and it is worth booking ahead if your group is set on playing. For 12 or more people the venue handles it as an event rather than a walk-in.

The shuffleboard setup

Three shuffleboard tables sit inside the venue's 14,500 sq ft sports-bar floor, alongside the golf bays Pitch is better known for. The format is the classic tabletop game: slide weighted pucks down a long board, aim for the high-scoring zones at the far end and try to knock your opponents off. It is quick to learn, so beginners and mixed-ability groups are fine, and a round suits a pint-length attention span. With only three tables, peak evenings can mean a short wait, so booking is sensible if you want a guaranteed slot.

Good to know

Shuffleboard is free most days, the only condition being one drink per person, ordered from the full bar. You can book a table online through the venue's booking system or simply turn up and play when tables are free. Groups of 12 or more are handled as events; email events@pitchldn.co.uk to arrange. There is a kitchen on site with food served daily from 12:00 to 21:00, plus a terrace with riverside views. It is a few minutes' walk from Canary Wharf Underground, DLR and Elizabeth line stations.
