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!

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!

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!

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

Good and service were great, Only marked down as charged nearly £6 for bottled water so over £20 for 4 bottles?!

Thanks for the review Leanne Drinks pricing is all done on data and competitor analysis and we don't get much say in that but I'll be happily passing on your comments as our guests are what matter the most! Team Wilmo
