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!

    Staff helpfully asked it we were going to Sadler's Well,s down the road, to make sure we finished our meal in good time. That was very handy. Good vegetaeian gnocchi, and delicious rich cauliflower soup (though we were not sure how well the golden raisins worked as an addition). We ordered cheese for afters (having loads of time before the ballet) and the serving was large and hearty with chutney and yummy crackers. Ideally, we'd have enjoyed a second non-blue cheese (it was mainly blue). But a good meal and really friendly, efficient staff.

    Best Pre theatre meal around Sadler’s wells. Warm atmosphere. Attentive service by knowledgeable and friendly staff. Care for food intolerance. Having tried most restaurants around the theatre I think this gastropub is the best value for money.

    Amazing pub and restaurant. Good vegetarian choices and the quality and portion size was excellent. Wonderful service, attentive and excellent in terms of helping my mother to make her trip even more comfortable. Prices also good and range of drinks offered a real balance. Highly recommended, we will definitely visit again.

    Great gastropub, near Exmouth Market. Lovely Sunday roast, and good choice of wines. Very friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere in the pub.

    An excellent place to eat great service, buzzy atmosphere and the dining area was not noisy — bliss. Food delicious and wine very good. I took friends over from Australia before going to Sadlers Wells all worked perfectly. Thank you.

    Great local pub with good beer and great food. The service was a little slow but that was because there were less staff on duty. The servers themselves were great.

    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.
