We are The Wilmington - known locally as 'The Wilmo'

We’ve have had a bit of a face lift recently, not everything is new - if you’ve visited us in the past, you may remember us for having the best Sunday Roast in town. We can happily confirm that it’s back…but arguably, even better!

Head chef Jamie Cousins has taken the reigns, delivering an ever-evolving menu of globally-influenced dishes that celebrate the best of British ingredients as well as some very exciting specials. You can join us for brunch, lunch or dinner as well as that glorious Sunday Roast - come try it for yourself!

    It was our first time dining at The Wilmington Pub and it was superb, we will be back. We were a table of six, all of us enjoyed our food which we chose from the specials menu. The puddings were also delicious. A great find. We loved it. Thank you.

    Very busy when we arrived but were quickly acknowledged and given a nice booth table. Service and food very good, despite being super busy. Good value and prices not too bad for central London.

    We both had fish and chips. The fish was delicious, fresh and encased in crispy batter. The chips were a grave disappointment. They were brought to the table freshly cooked and very hot but greasy and not crisp at all. We did not have any starters or desserts. A table near us had diners a little too loud and emphatic in their conversation. We had to raise our voices to make ourselves heard which detracted from our overall experience.

    The three of us had the monkfish as there wasn’t really anything else we fancied on the menu or specials board. Didn’t expect it to be on “the bone” so there was very little meaty fish - all came away still hungry after our main course - bisque was nice but the fish was insubstantial, very few potato straws and samphire, the tomatoes were cold. All in all felt expensive for what we had and finished up at Pret to get a snack and coffee! Staff were very attentive.

    One vegetarian main dish at the time of visiting. Service was slow. The restaurant is not dog friendly even though the pub is. The staff did accommodate but this should be more clearly visible. Overall it was okay.
