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!

    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

    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.

    Hi Sarah, I'm sorry for your experience on your recent visit. December is an incredibly busy time with Christmas parties happening daily and I'm sorry this impacted our service and your evening. I hope you do visit us again so we can give you the exceptional service and a more enjoyable atmosphere we normally deliver. Team Wilmo
