   Unfortunately, we had a pretty disappointing experience. The venue itself is quite average and didn’t live up to the expectations we had for a more unique gastropub experience. Rather commercial and average. We had to return a truly terrible starter, and then the behavior of one of the staff completely soured the atmosphere of our dinner. We were seated next to the ordering station, which wasn’t ideal as our two very young kids were naturally moving around a bit and occasionally obstructing the servers. To make things easier for everyone, we politely asked to be moved to a nearby table that had just been freed up. Unfortunately, our request was met with a rude and passive-aggressive response from the waiter. It was clear that he was tired and overwhelmed, but this doesn’t excuse such behavior toward guests who are simply trying to find a solution that works for everyone. People working in public-facing roles need to maintain professionalism, even on tough days, or take a break when needed to avoid situations like this.

   We loved this warm and charming neighborhood restaurant. It was recommended by a friend who travels to London often. The food was great, the staff could not have been more friendly. It was out of the touristy area of the city and we Felt safe and relaxed. Highly recommend 😊 cheers 🍻

   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.

   Fabulous attentive service, fabulous food. It was noisy but the fact it was busy is testimony to how good it is. Couldn't fault pre theatre dinner. The batter on the Fish n Chips was divine

   The food was excellent and fairly priced. We arrived early but were seated straight away. It was very noisy but it was near Christmas and several parties were there

    Please pass on our thanks to Josh for looking after us so we’ll this lunchtime. He was so welcoming and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Service like that makes a huge difference.
