The food is excellent - really tasty and perfectly proportioned. Service was also brilliant - good relaxed atmosphere. The menu is heavy on meat and then fish but there is just about enough for a veggie in the party - would heartily recommend.

This was absolutely perfect! Just as I hoped. The welcome was warm and the table was lovely and festive to walk into. The food quality was really good and I loved how the staff had clearly chosen to have fewer bookings and more quality experiences. This time of year, group meals can be so disappointing because every restaurant is like a factory, churning people through. We were able to really relax and enjoy our time together at our table. Savour each course, with a nice rest in between one. Thank you Wilmington for a wonderful end of work and start of the festive holidays.

Tasty food, good prices, nice atmosphere. We went for a Sunday roast with my family and sat at the upper floor which was more quiet. The service was great and the food and wine was very nice.
