Chef & Rooster

A nice evening at the Wilding. Interesting food - we really enjoyed the ambition of what the chefs tried to do. Not all dishes were a hit, but a few did. The charred leeks were excellent, the venison main was cold and a little tough. Wait staff were very friendly and attentive without being overbearing - good service considering the aims of the restaurant. Our main complaint was the very strange music playlist which was distracting and went from Elton and Robbie Williams to very bass heavy, cheesy club music. I don't mind bass in a club, but not in a wine bar / restaurant. Music seemed like a random staff member's playlist. Overall some interesting and tasty dishes with a little room for improvement. A nice evening.

We had an excellent dinner for my husbands birthday last Saturday we were treated to a Chefs table which made it Extra special. The food was simply sublime. Oysters with smoked jalapeño oil and butterflied Gurnard were one of our favourites! I highly reccomend for a special occasion. Thank you Chef and whole team

Had a great dinner at the new and improved Wilding, which now has a food service to match the wine and surroundings. Among the many standout plates were the BBQ hen of the woods and the squid (see pic), while based on a sample of 50% of the desserts it seems hard to go wrong. Will be returning before long to see how the menu evolves with the seasons—an exciting addition to Little Clarendon St.

We enjoyed a superb lunch at the 'new' Wildings this weekend. The food was simply superb and we enjoyed sitting at the Chef's Counter watching the dishes come together - and it was all so very calm in the kitchen. The range of dishes was great - which meant you could go traditional three-course or have a number of the small plates. We enjoyed every dish; and had the Northern Chips with curry sauce, the scallops (which were huge), the agnolotti was amazing, as was the pork chop - we also really enjoyed the courgette flower - there really was not one plate of food that I wouldn't order again! Service matched the quality of the food - attentive, professional with personality. Overall a really lovely experience and we left promising to be back more often and we will.

Long Bank Holiday lunch with friends. 8 of us. Food super interesting and really delicious. We shared lots of different dishes so got to try a great variety of what was on offer. John Dory for 2 - so fresh and tasty. Lamb - very very good. Hispy cabbage absolutely yummy. Croquetas excellent. Posh fat chips - great. Affogata - lovely way to round off the meal. We had red and white Tandem wine - very good accompaniment to all we ate.
