About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Charming
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!

    Such a lovely pub! The service was great, super friendly and efficient. The food was really good and it wasn't ridiculously expensive for a central London venue. Would recommend

    Can’t fault this place. Lovely staff, serving excellent food and in a great atmosphere! Food is a big departure from the all too often stodgy pub food which was refreshing, but also still had a couple of classic favourites. Oh and the wine list was seriously impressive for a pub. Deliciously Excellent!

    Had Sunday roast with the family , it’s was served pretty quickly, it would have been nice to have another veg accompanied with the other veg, I had the Pork which was delicious and fell apart when cut, 4 of the party had the Lamb which was nice but some was very underdone and could not be eaten, the veg option was delicious and the Chicken was also lovely, would definitely recommend the Sunday roasts and the staff were very attentive and lovely.

    Excellent dinner last night for 3 of us - rabbit pie, schnitzel and stone bass were brilliant and a very reasonable wine list. A real discovery
