    It was silly season but the booking we had confirmed for 6 and a dog was not available when we arrived. We squished onto a table for 4 impacting our comfort and the comfort of the diners on the table next to us. The team tried to suggest it was my fault for not saying I had a dog, which I had specifically rung to confirm the day before. No real explanation was given other than it being Christmas. Food was ok. Atmosphere was lovely. So really hope it was just as a result of them being so busy. Would love to go back and try again.

    I went to The Wilmington for dinner before going to the theatre on Saturday. The pub was very busy and noisy, which wasn't great for my sister and me as we love chatting and catching up. The food was very nice but the service was a bit slow because it was so busy. It was full of large parties having Christmas dinner. So maybe another time of year would be better. The food was nice and a decent price.

    Overall excellent. The Sunday roast (Cap of beef) was really great and good value for Monday at this price point. Service was attentive and genuinely delivered with care and consideration. We have been a few times now and will definitely return. Thank you all and keep up the great work. I have twenty years of experience in the hospitality sector so I'm hard to please!

    My first time visiting here, I had the veggie roast while my friend had the beef roast. Both were absolutely delicious, and this has been one of our favorite Sunday roasts in a long time. The service was excellent—quick from being seated to being served. The pub itself is lovely, with a great atmosphere. We’re definitely coming back again!

    Lovely server, loved all the Sunday roast - except for the beef which was tough and overcooked. Maybe just a miss today. Would go again!
    The WilmingtonResponded on 25 November 2024
    Hey Kathryn Shame to hear about the beef, did you manage to mention to a server? We serve standard as medium rare with a lovely pink colour - I am sorry about this. Please come and see us again! Team Wilmo

    Neighbourhood favourite that soars above traditional gastro pub. Service second to none, cracking food. Perfect just for popping in for a pint - or lingering to get a real glow on!

    Thank you for those kind words - come and visit us again and we'll get that magic 5/5 score! Team Wilmo

    The lady who served us was so nice and hospitable. She moved us to the dining section, which was pretty and cosy. My virgin mary was very tasty. Courgetti fritti was very tasty, olives not to my taste but good quality. Everyone else enjoyed their food but sadly my vension cottage pie was badly burnt through. I should have sent it back but didn't and paying for that wasn't ideal. Desserts were good and overall we had a pleasant time. I would come back and just order a different main course.

    Thank you for the comments and feedback Chan. We would have happily made a change if we were alerted to an issue or a mistake - as naturally these can happen as much as we don't want them to! Please pop in again - our menu changes frequently so lots to choose from! Team Wilmo
