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!

    We booked in advance for Sunday lunch because the restaurant is popular. The restaurant itself was very clean, with comfortable spaces between tables. We received a warm welcome and the service was excellent. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and would certainly return in the future.

    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!
