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!

    Definitely one of my favourite veggie roasts I’ve had in London! Also really enjoyed their house Bloody Mary. Great selection of wines too!

    Very nicely cooked hake and duck, good pudding. Nice cocktails. Lovely table, clean. Area reservedfor dining less noisy than rest. Nice waiters, kind and pleasant. Warm atmosphere. Courses are designed for those eating a full meal, unlikely to be filled by one course only. Good portions but go for a starter too.

    Booked before going to the ballet at Sadlers Wells and put this in the booking comments. Waiter was attentive to this - good service and wished us a nice evening. Menu was fairly limited - 5 mains plus a few steaks as they had a Burns Night menu later in the evening. Quality of food was very good. My daughter thought her steak one of the nicest she’d had.

    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.
