The Willow

Visited this restaurant with my mum who has to choose her food carefully for health reasons. We were in London for her 65th birthday. There was an excellent variety of dishes available for her. Mum had the fish in squid ink batter and I had pork tenderloin - all delicious - and desert was yummy! The friendliness of the staff made our visit extra special. They were attentive without being invasive and very knowledgeable the menu. We had a lovely evening. I'd highly recommended a visit here whether or not you have special dietary requirements!

Oh my goodness! Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing, the waiters were so nice and the cherry on the cake is how healthy everything is! Even the ketchup is absolutely yummy and not the usual sugar ridden stuff! We'll certainly return! It's a bit pricey, but it's absolutely worth the money!

A little pricey for the area but that is made up for with the great service, friendly staff and the range of tastes/diets catered for. We had the padron peppers, the rainbow salad with chicken and the lamb tomahawk cutlets. They were all excellently flavoured, well sized without leaving us feeling stuffed and clearly also very nutritious. They also don’t make you feel too bad about having a sweet tooth by having natural and RAW options of cheesecake and desserts. Lastly, I would recommend people support this local restaurant that is working not only to run a restaurant but a business that supports the community in achieving a better health and lifestyle. Any company doing that should be supported.

Loved it! The food was delicious, I had the falafel burger with mushroom bun which was surrounded by delicious vegetables. It was very filling in fact but I had to have a dessert (it's not everyday you have a selection of gluten free desserts to chose from!). I decided on the pecan caramel cheese cake and was not dissapointed! Better than any regular cheesecake I've ever had. The staff were lovely as well and the setting very calming and serene. They've really put thought into every aspect of the restaurant, even down to reverse osmosis table water, they offered still or sparkling. Overall, blown away and I'm sure I will become a regular customer!

I was lucky enough to go to The Willow for the second time yesterday and the team and food did not disappoint. Whilst the unique angle of this restaurant is that food is designed and to suit any dietary requirements, that doesn't mean that they are only for those who avoid gluten or are vegan. The food is sourced, cooked and combined to get maximum flavour and enjoyment, and it's a brucie bonus if you avoid certain foods because generally you don't have to worry what's in it! There is also a great choice of organic wines and beers - although I was driving so choices of wonderful teas and coffees was great. We had some lovely platters of food to share for an event but all the choices were from the menu. Many people think 'healthy food' means deprivation but The Willow delivers high quality, thoughtfully combined, tasty food that 'just so happens' (well I'm know it's carefully planned) to be not be full of rubbish. Oh and the retractable roof is great when the weather is nice too! Thanks for a lovely lunch and making us feel welcome, Helen

I have just visited The Willow for the first time. What an absolute pleasure to be able to eat anything on the menu all of which is gluten free and mostly dairy free and absolutely healthy. What an excellent idea by the Chef who set up this place, for all those who either choose to eat super healthily or for those who are Coeliac, gluten or dairy free for medical reasons. I love the concept of this place and wish there was one in every town!

The Member of staff that helped myself and two colleges to work through the menu was both very helpful and knowledgable about the food the restaurant would be serving that eve. We decided after some discussion to select a variety of starters and small dishes which were delicious and thoroughly enjoyed each one. We were made to feel very welcome and would certainly recommend The Willow to other colleagues and friends.

I have some dietary issues hence this restaurant was a real find. My wife however has no issues but She and the rest of our crowd we're amazed at how tasty the food was. I had the steak which was cooked to perfection. I have to say speaking to our waiter and the bar/owner they have incredible knowledge about food. Everything has been thought of including the quality/production of the wines and spirits they use in their cocktails. If you want a good meal with quality ingredients then I would give it a go. They are very accommodating and consider any request . Will definitely come back again.
