The Wilmington - (Near City of London, South East)

Water Chung This was my first time experiencing a dining-in-the-dark restaurant, and it also happened to be a birthday celebration, which made it even more special. The entire experience felt fresh, unique, and surprisingly enjoyable. Our guide and server, Michael, was extremely professional and reassuring. His clear guidance helped ease any initial fear or discomfort of dining in complete darkness, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the experience. The quality of the food was excellent, and dining in the dark created a unique opportunity to focus purely on flavors and textures. It was also interesting and enjoyable to interact with others in the darkness, which added an unexpected social element to the evening. What truly surprised us was how time passed so quickly when we were fully focused on the food and conversation. It was a genuinely pleasant, memorable, and highly satisfying dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different and meaningful.

Emily Petherick Such a great find and will definitely be coming back. We booked Club Gascon for a birthday meal and had a bottle of wine pre-bought as a surprise. The waiter was extremely accommodating with this and it was brought out straight away. Everything we ordered was so tasty and presented beautifully. The set menu is also such great value for the quality of food. Highly recommend!

Lam Mic We had such a lovely lunch on Saturday afternoon. I arrived with three friends and we were immediately greeted by a smiling member of staff who let us know there would be a short wait while another table finished up. We were seated very quickly, and from that point on everything felt relaxed and welcoming. The food was very good and the service was spot on throughout our visit. We live nearby and had been meaning to try it for a while, so we are really glad we finally did. It will definitely be somewhere we think of whenever we are planning a lunch or dinner out.

Y M Food was excellent! We had pork escalopes and smoked fish for the main course - absolutely delicious. The atmosphere in the restaurant was overall so cosy: candlelight, live music, and a very welcoming vibe.

Hannah Copsey The team were so lovely and looked after our large party so well. I am vegan and coeliac was able to eat the poke bowl which was nice.

NMA Croudough, situated near Sadler’s Wells, offers a warm and thoughtfully curated dining environment, elevated by its stylish décor and welcoming atmosphere. The menu presents a well-considered range of options, making it suitable for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Service is attentive and genuinely pleasant, contributing positively to the overall experience. The pizza selection is particularly commendable; while my own arrived slightly cooler than ideal, the flavours remained balanced and satisfying. Despite this minor misstep, Croudough delivers a confident, enjoyable meal and one I would readily return for.
