Shepherd Neame - The Wilton Arms in City of London, Westminster

Cosy and rustic interior, looks good for a Sunday roast. We stood outside for pints on a clear day which was lovely, as the road is generally free of traffic. Service was efficient and the German beers shake up the usual choice of taps. Avoid walking down the road to the Nag’s Head if you’re on a pub crawl, and head on to the Grenadier once you’re done.

We loved the place and the food was really good too. I ordered a burger with well-done beef and it was one of the best burger I have ever tasted, but the tables were very small and it was kinda uncomfortable.

We stopped here for lunch when we were walking by and the chef was out front taking a break and told us it was the best restaurant in town. He was not kidding! We had oysters, lobster rolls, and the truffle fries. Everything was amazing. The service was fantastic, and the chef even came down and brought us a snack as we were sitting here with extra drinks waiting for our hotel room to be ready. We would highly recommend coming here for a meal or just a drink.

We ate here for lunch before a concert which was pleasant enough although trying to attract the staff’s attention was somewhat challenging. We returned after the concert and ordered 2 glasses of champagne but instead the barman served us 2 half glasses of champagne because he couldn’t be bothered to open a fresh bottle. When we asked him to top them up he just shrugged at us and said ‘this is London’ as though that was remotely relevant. Even other people behind the bar could see that he was ripping us off and asked him to pour us the full glasses we had ordered. All to no avail. The menu clearly states that champagne is sold in measures of 125 ml, so as this pub is serving short measures I will be reporting it to Trading Standards.

Friendly staff, but the food is terrible. If you're going to charge nearly £20 for a burger it needs to be significantly better than something you could buy in McDonald's or Burger King that costs three times less! Fish and chips - overcooked with oily, lumpy batter. Any takeaway fish and chip shop would do better and charge half the price. They have delusions of being a Gastro pub - definitely NOT! Go to Macdonald's, Burger King or a fish and chip shop.. you'll get better food and pay an awful lot less.

Sunday lunch. The spectacularly frosty welcome and the chap on the next table complaining about the fatty beef were the warning signs we didn’t heed. We could kick ourselves we did not leave immediately. Service was non-existent and clearly the same level of care permeates the kitchen. The slow roasted lamb was more fat than meat. Potatoes seemed suspiciously packet sourced and the Yorkshire pudding was inedibly soggy. That my wife and I left most of our plates did not make the server the least bit inquisitive. We were in and out in 20 minutes. Complaining would have delayed our exit and we could not leave quickly enough.

I couldn’t wait to leave. Yup, mostly reviews on TA but don’t expect any kind of friendly attention or service. I wouldn’t normally write a review that wasn’t good but the experience just made me angry. It was a special evening spent with our friends from Iceland and this place did not help one bit. The staff, of which there seemed to be quite a few just weren’t interested. Have you ever had it where they try hard to avoid your eyes? Hoping to order after what seemed an age, the “busy doing nothing” staff seemed to be indifferent zombies to us. I eventually went up to the bar and the barmaid said someone would come and take our order. Queue more scenes from Wold War Z. In the end, we did manage to get an order in and the food was average even though it was priced at a premium. It just seemed like they were doing us a favour so we ate and left disappointed. Credit where it’s due though, the chunky chips were really good!

Highly recommend this place for Sunday roast! I took my international friends here to have their first Sunday roast experience and they loved it. I really enjoyed my haddock and chips, and then our brownie ice-cream for dessert - everything was done to perfection. Lovely relaxed and cozy atmosphere although it does get very busy peak lunch (as expected!), nice drinks, great staff.

We met up as a large group (10 ish) for lunch and were warmly greeted by the staff. The food was all fantastic - the chicken pie was an absolute winner - great mash, lovely gravy, well cooked but not overcooked veg. The vibe is relaxed but smart. Will come again next time we are in the area.

He escuchado que esto ahora está cerrado.Este fue un fin de semana local mío durante muchos años y viajé desde Brighton para usarlo hasta que me mudé.Un verdadero pub de Londres con una gran clientela y un propietario adecuado.Gran diversión tuvo aquí.Gracias por los buenos momentos y recuerdos Val.Todo lo mejor Chris y familia?

Went here with 9 friends to watch a tribute act. Have to say he was excellent, the food on the other hand, not quite so good. It was a set menu, so opted for black pudding to start. This dish was served with peppercorn sauce, not a good combination and over powering. The main course I chose chicken tikka, another bad choice, I had to leave all the chicken and just eat the rice and tikka sauce as the chicken was tough. I did complain about it but just got'ok'. The dessert was tiramisu. It was gorgeous, generous size piece and tasted lovely. 1 or of 3!

I visited this site last week, i spome to the bar staff regarding booking a function for an event, the staff were very friendly and i had some grwat conversation with them in regards to this hidden gem of a venue, the manger was rarely in the building as he kept going in and out of the building but when he did step behind the bar he seemed a little tired as he continued to pour lager into bitter glassware and kept receiving complaints, understandable in small bars like this glassware can run low and these issues happen, i mentioned to the gentleman complaining that it wasnt the beer that was flat bit just the wring glassware, i was met with a hostile "would you shut the f**k up" by the general manager, i apologised to him if i had upset him in some way, to wich he responded with "just f**k off outa here would ya" i was shocked to have been met with such hostility, for that reason i wont be perusing my function booking. This is a great shame. The beer was reasonably priced but bowl of cheesy chips took 30minutes, slow considering i was the only person eating and there were only 12 customers drinking. I think with the right leadership and a tasteful refurbishment this venue could be a real london gem.

Tucked away on a side street this very pretty, clean and absolutely authentic pub featured locals enjoying mid-day breaks, friendly servers behind the bar and one of the best burgers I have ever enjoyed. A great find in an otherwise expensive neighborhood.

Vinimos aquí el sábado ya que era el lugar más cercano que pudimos encontrar en nuestra ubicación y decidimos comer algo. Comida extremadamente básica, teníamos pescado y papas fritas y un sándwich. El pescado estaba muy bien, aunque un poco pequeño, excelente bateador. Los guisantes parecían haberse secado y recalentado varias veces, las patatas obviamente habían sido fritas más de una vez, pero en realidad eran bastante buenas. Las ollas de condimentos parecían sucias. El servidor siguió llegando a nuestra mesa sin decir nada, discúlpeme y se llevó las cosas sin preguntar. El sándwich estaba listado como queso y pepinillo, el queso rallado y el pepinillo llegaron, un poco decepcionante, pero lo comimos. Los baños estaban asquerosos. Un pub sorprendentemente malo en una parte cara de Londres. Nunca volveremos.

El lugar es pintoresco y rezuma el encanto del mundo. El personal era muy agradable y nos sirvieron nuestras comidas inglesas de buen precio, tradicionales y abundantes (Bangers and Mash en mi caso) con muy poco tiempo de espera. La selección de cervezas de barril, aunque no grandes, sigue siendo bastante impresionante.

Visité aquí después de un viaje húmedo a Winter Wonderland. Una mujer mayor, que creo que podría haber sido la dueña de la casa, ya que no llevaba el uniforme escolar que el resto del personal, era grosera y agresiva. Completamente innecesario y fuera de lugar. Nunca volveré a gastar dinero aquí de nuevo. Mucho mejor pubs con personal más amable en otros lugares. Definitivamente diría evitar! !

Después de un día lluvioso en el país de las maravillas del invierno, estábamos buscando un pub acogedor, desafortunadamente, nos encontramos con los brazos de Wilton, donde nos hicieron sentir muy incómodos y lamentamos haber gastado dinero en este establecimiento. La señora que se refiere a sí misma como "gerente de control de multitudes" es agresiva y grosera. Nunca visites este lugar, es un ambiente hostil, ella era amenazadora, confrontativa y hostil innecesaria.Nunca cometeremos el error de volver. Evitar a toda costa.

Val y Terri gracias por enviar un gran descuento. Después de 36 años de trabajo en la zona de Westminster fue genial para decir adiós a muchos amigos y compañeros en un lugar encantador. El personal se aseguró de que el espíritu fluyen libremente con servicio rápido amable. Val se aseguró de que la comida buffet mantenido hasta que dicho avasallando parada. Incluso cuando me tiró el problema de un huésped vegetariano a mitad de la noche se resolvió este.Gran noche en el conservatorio con el aire acondicionado encendido. No muchos de mis invitados había sido antes, pero prometieron volver.

Un público que ha estado bajo la misma dirección durante muchos años. Puede organizar pequeñas fiestas privadas y ofrece comida típica de buffet de buena calidad. Situado justo al lado de Knightsbridge, un buen lugar para det lejos del tráfico y pesadas footfall de las carreteras principales.

Un Salto a almorzar con un amigo.

Great atmosphere with cask ales served in perfect condition. Hidden away and just the place to escape from the legions of gastropubs blighting the area. True authenticity for a pint or more.

A great pub. They have TVs for sport streaming and good beers. Great location for drinks being 5 mins from Knightsbridge and Piccadilly

Mi pareja y yo fuimos para el almuerzo.

Vinimos aquí a eso de las 7 pm el viernes por la noche y lo bueno es que no fue embestido. Está un poco fuera del camino, así que es algo bueno. Los precios de las bebidas eran promedio para Londres y el servicio fue agradable, aunque el camarero no sabía cómo hacer una buena limonada de grosella negra.

El Shepherd Neame está un poco escondida y absolutamente vale la pena encontrar! El ambiente es genial y auténtico. Los propietarios son muy amables y agradables. Elegí tradicionales de pescado y patatas fritas, era realmente buena comida, tradicionales y muy agradable. Recomiendo encarecidamente una visita aquí. Muchas gracias!

Aparecimos para tomar un trago en una noche de sábado. El pub tiene un ambiente encantador de estilo rústico. Muchos de estos acogedores pubs de Londres están siendo convertidas en apartamentos y es una verdadera delicia encontrar uno escondido en una calle tranquila de Londres.

Está situado en una pequeña calle, Kinnerton Street justo en Wilton Place, cerca Kinghtsbrdge. Es difícil creer que todavía están en Londres. Cerca está Wilton Crescent, que es digno de ver. La gente es amable, como es el propietario. Me gusta ir a veces más lento.

Tipico pub inglese con personale davvero gentile. Ottime proposte british, dal cibo alla birra. Poco turistico. Consiglio vivamente.

Estábamos aquí para el almuerzo y algunas naciones de Rugby 6 en una calle tranquila y encantadora, muy cerca de Harrods. Realmente disfrutamos de la comida un bocadillo y la cerveza y el vino eran acertadas. Es una preciosa. Es un ambiente encantador y el propietario asume un papel activo en la gestión de su personal joven entusiasta para garantizar una buena experiencia al cliente.

Tipico pub inglese, facilmente raggiungibile dalle strade dello shopping, pochi turisti, buona birra, personale adeguato.

Pinta agradable de guiness, pero no puedo hacer con miserables personal del bar. Si no puedo decir hola o gracias, entonces la industria de la hospitalidad es probablemente no es para ellos.

Nice pub, good food, not a bad crowd, you'll like it, a bit more local and less false than some pubs I could mention in town, but its a pub so I was happy the food rocked as so many pubs are terrible, top hole chaps

We stopped by this little pub on a self guided walk.....thank you Guidebook people for the pointer to this authentic pub.

ナイツブリッジ東のキナートンストリートにある伝統的なパブです。ホテル・バークレイから行くと分かりやすいです。店構えは手入れされた花と緑が美しく、インテリアも趣きがあります。私達は飲み物だけでしたが、周りはサンドイッチやシェパードパイを注文している人が多かったです。夕方以降は他の人気パブ同様、外にまで飲み物を手にした人が溢れていました。

Ce pub est top, typique. Il est caché dans une petite rue, il est très bien décoré. Nous avons passé un très bon moment loin des touristes!!! À faire ! La bière est délicieuse !

If you are looking for a drink in a reasonably quaint pub in a quiet mews in Belgravia then this is your place however we absolutely do not recommend you go here to eat. In short; if you fancy a trip back to 1980s lard-ridden fodder then, again, this is your place. It also seems that the landlord is unnecessarily rude towards patrons (and we are trying to write this politely!) Having witnessed two fairly significant incidents we really struggled to understand why he spoke in the way he did and have, consequently, decided that it will no longer be on our list of places to visit when we are in London.

A mews street forgotten by time and the developers. Charming mews cottages, little shops, even smaller mews cul-de-sacs, and two traditional pubs. The Wilton after its cottagey flower bedecked exterior is inside a large, long suburban style lounge bar and there's nothing wrong with that, after the slight surprise. The service is attentive, friendly and very efficient. The food was fine, Guinness steak pie and home cooked lasagne were very good, and generous. It was only when we needed something an equally English pub dessert to round off the typical English pub main fare that we received the shock of, ' No, we don't serve any desserts at all, there's too little demand.' Maybe, but most others manage it and this eccentric gastric brick wall left us and our Swiss guests quite unsatisfied and very disappointed. So we left and made for Harrods to satisfy our sweet teeth. Sticky toffee pudding anybody?

Loved our lunch here and our visit with the manager! She shared so much knowledge of the local politics. The home made beef pie was amazingly good.

Lovely little pub, in a back street off Hyde Park. Very cosy and welcoming. You'd not know you were in Central London sitting in here sipping a drink.

The doorman at The Wellesley steered us here as we were a little early for The Jazz Lounge. It was busy with a great buzz and banter both sides of the bar. Perfect start to our evening.

The Wilton Arms London ( 71 Kinnerton Street, Belgravia London SW1X8ED) costruito nel 1826, ubicato vicino ai magazzini Harrold, è un pub dove assaggiare specialità inglesi e degustare buonissime birre. Locale dall’atmosfera accogliente, dove il personale è molto gentile e cordiale. Il cibo di ottimo livello viene presentato con originalità. Non è un ristorante turistico, ma è frequentato soprattutto da locali. Prezzi giusti, non troppo alti. Sicuramente un locale da consigliare.

Back in Knightsbridge for the same errand (see Grenadier last week) I was at a loose end for an hour or so and explored the little alleys and mews streets behind Harvey Nicholls. Passed the Nag's Head (looked wonderful, but very small and very crowded) and realised I was ready for a quiet pint. A hundred yards further on, the much bigger Wilton Arms was certainly quiet and certainly welcoming. Lovely atmosphere and excellent Shepherd Neame beer. And there were bookshelves! Rather ancient tomes and nothing really hooked me but it's becoming really important to remember that sometimes all you want is warm pub, a decent pint and a book. Doesn't look as though much has changed here for a good while and I was probably lucky to catch the pub at a quiet moment as it was beginning to fill up before I left. I looked at the menu for future reference and noticed the usual burger/fish and chips fare. (The website promises a more adventurous menu.)Obviously things hot up here later as a part of the pub was being prepared for a private party. But on a dark December afternoon for a rather vacant hour in one's life, peace and quiet was all one could have wished for.

We met friends here for pre-dinner drinks. As soon as we walked in we liked it very much. It had a friendly atmosphere and felt very comfortable to be in. It was populated by affluent and suited people in for a drink after work on a Friday night, with a few obvious local regulars. It was busy but well staffed and prices around the same as we would pay in our local in Woodford. It looked liked a smallish pub at first as the bar itself is not big, but there was plenty of seating toward the back of the pub, and it had a conservatory too. Although we didn't sample the food, the black boarded menu looked very tasty. I would highly recommend this as not just a meeting place, but could see myself and friends settling in for a night here, and about 5 minutes from Hyde park station.

Early lunch - food good (fish and chips). Plate food served on was cold although thankfully food was hot. This seems to be a trend in London pubs at the moment - is it a Health & Safety issue? Beer - Spitfire - excellent. Lovely pub and staff very friendly and attentive. Will visit again.

This little pub is absolutely charming and was packed during our lunch time visit. It is tucked in a side street about 3 minutes walk from Harvey Nichols. The staff are efficient and the small and affordable menu has something for everyone. It was everything a little Knightsbridge pub should be and I can understand why it is so popular with locals.

Hidden away down a back street you could easily miss it. Lovely little place with sport on the TV tasty sandwiches, also very cheap for the area.

We made this our neighborhood pub when we visited Knightsbridge last year. Consequently, it was our first stop when we returned this year! We stopped in several times for a pint or tea and once for dinner. I enjoyed the fish and chips while the better half of the Halifax Duo had a great salad. John was no longer behind the bar but Val welcomed us back

We stumbled across this delightful place by chance whilst walking from Harrods to Hyde park, was made to feel really welcomed as we weren't locals but tourists looking for somewhere to eat. Food was really nice and great value for money compared to neighbouring establishments, would return and definitely recommend

I visited this pub on Sunday evening (29th June) with a friend having attended a BBC concert at St. Paul's Church nearby. The two bar men were arrogant and 'off-hand' in how they spoke to me regarding a bag which I discovered had been left under our table by the previous occupants . Rather than thanking me for handing the bag in, one of the bar men from behind the bar shouted at me over the heads of other customers accusing us of sitting at a table which he claimed had not been vacated by its previous occupants ( the latter had seen us sit down as they exited the pub) Ten minutes later the owner of the bag came back into the pub and asked us if we had found a bag. He thanked us profusely for handing the bag to the bar staff. Some customer care training is needed for these two bar tenders; based on my experience, they clearly do not know how to address people in a civil manner.

We discovered the Wilton Arms during our 10 day stay in Knightsbridge. It's just a short walk from the Park Tower hotel, tucked away off Wilton Place. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was cozy and comfortable. We returned several times to join the regulars for a pint, a cup of tea, or quick meal of tasty "pub food". This is a great neighbourhood pub!Tip: If you need supplies for your room, Jay's Village Store is just a few doors down the street.

Discover it by chance coming back from famous Petrus and decided to return for a lunch. We were surprised by the homely feeling, very quiet place, hidden in a lovely area (Belgravia), this is an ancient pub and you see the seats and tables are slightly worn... but it is admirable how they somehow keep the place charming. Food was excellent, portions are very big (consider this when ordering), and prices more than honest. If you want to go out of the touristic places this is a good option.

We stumbled upon this pub on a cold afternoon in December and settled down for a few drinks. We decided to order some food in this comfy friendly pub with lively staff. The menu was not very extensive and consisted mainly of sandwiches, a small range of traditional hot dishes and burgers. This would not normally be an issue but we had a vegetarian with us and all they could offer was a cheese sandwich or cheese ploughman's. Anyway we ordered. When our food arrived the chicken burger was small and looked like something that McDonalds wouldn't even serve up. The chips were under done, soggy and colourless. My own toastie was incredibly unappetising and came presented without a granish just as a slab of greyish brown coloured bread. It was a terribly unappetising poorly cooked, low quality ingredients meal. My previous experience of Shepherd & Neame pub food has always been very positive. Reading other reviews our experience does seem inconsistent with other reviews so I can only conclude that the chef was not present. We paid a fair amount for sub standard food that even my local greasy spoon wouldnt serve up!

This is the speciality of the house. Agreeably priced, portion huge & quite frankly Kinnerton Street has two of my favourite pubs in London. Shepherds Neame beer always in good nick & absolutely charming, old school staff. You can spend a fortune trying to find lunch in Knightsbridge, start here & work your way out if necessary. I don't think it will be necessary.

A very pretty pub from the outside, tired, worn and lousy food on the inside. Service was fine. It was our first pub, so we thought that was typical pub food, but we definitely found better.

Prior to my comments, I must admit some bias in this review. I have been coming to this pub for 20+ years when I have been in London on business or pleasure. As a creature of habit, I have stayed at the same Knightsbridge hotel for many years. This pub is just around the corner so it became "my" pub in London. Over the years, I have gotten to know and become friends with both the proprietor and his wife. This pub is a great neighborhood pub that has had many "regulars" over the years. Because of my numerous visits, I became a "regular" at some point. As a result, I tend to sit with the "regulars" when I am there. It is a great place to drink a pint and visit with other people. In that way, it harkens back to the pubs of yesteryear when a pub was a neighborhood hangout. I like the comfortable feeling of the Wilton Arms when I am there. For sports lovers, the Wilton Arms has two flat screens that are showing the latest cricket, golf, rugby, etc. tournaments. The volume is kept way down or off so it is not intrusive to those who don't want to watch. In the summer months, the flowers on the exterior of the pub are beautiful. The crowd (getting younger or me getting older?) spill out on the sidewalk in front of the pub and it is quite pleasant to stand out there with your pint and visit with others. Okay, the food may not be top end, but this is much more of a pub than a restaurant. Having said that, I have had some good "pub grub" (fish and chips, burger and chips, etc.) over the years with no complaints. For me, I just like "hanging out" at the Wilton Arms. I have met some very interesting people at the Wilton Arms over the years. I suggest you enjoy your pint and strike up an interesting conversation while you are there!

Found this lovely looking pub while attending a concert at nearby St. Pauls church. Although the exterior of the pub is very inviting the interior is very tired and dated. It is a Shepherd Neame owned pub so I was expecting a good selection of their bottled beers, but unfortunately they didn't have any, although they did have a couple of draught beers. I opted for a pint of draught San Miguel instead, but was suprised when the bill came to find it was £4.40p a pint. My wife and I decided to have a meal from the Specials Board. We both chose the Shepherds Pie, which when they came were very small portions of Shepherds Pie accompanied by chips and very watery mushy peas! No fresh vegetables in sight. The price of this food was not on the Specials Board, but we were in fact charged £8.50p each, which was too expensive. My wife ordered a Cappuccino but was told the coffee machine was broken, so she had to have an instant coffee in a mug with a jug of hot water. Although all the staff were very polite, courteous and friendly the pub needs a complete refurbishment and a new menu with better quality food on it.

This pub is close to Hydepark Corner. It is a traditional pub. You can watch here all day sports. Drink some pints have a plough man lunch or a burger. It is hidden, so difficult to find but that means that there are not so many tourists.

very 60s style pub unspoilt gets busy from 4pm till 9pm lots of flowers , good atmosphere good mix of boys and girls never any trouble crowed spills over onto the side street where it is situated, food is bottom end of the pub trade , not a place to go to eat at if you enjoy nicely cooked food

Me and my friends had some beers and fish & chips in this pub. Very nice location close to Knightsbridge, but as it is in a side street, it's elegantly quiet there.The drinks and the food were of very good qualty, and the staff super friendly. We recommend it!

I organised a walk for 18 friends through St James, Green and Hyde Park around the Serpentine. The Wilton Arms was a great place to stop which I'd been to the previous week. to check out. Our orders were taken promptly and the food was on the table quickly. They reserved an area at the rear of the saloon bar for us and that worked a treat. It was great value for money, especially those toasted sandwiches, the daily specials.and the portions of chips.We were in and out within the hour which meant we actually started the second stage of our walk early and finshed earlier than planned, which was good on a cold day.Ken from Richmond

We had probably...no definitely.... the worst lunch in history at this pub today! It really was like being back at the Winchester Club from the TV series Minder. I was looking around to see if Dennis Waterman was quaffing a pint with George Cole at the bar. My colleague opted for a Chicken Burger which looked like it had been stolen off a school kid's plate and my Beef Sandwich had that dark, processed and slightly sweaty meat that used to turn up at roadside cafes off the A1 on the way to away matches. To round it off, the coffee tasted like it had been made with gravel. The decor is also from the 1970s, so clearly the gastro-pub revolution has passed by this aged watering hole. A great pity as it is in one of the most delightful mews in (possibly) the wealthiest area of any European city. What a turnaround opportunity!! 'I could be so good for you...'

if you happen to be in knightsbridge take a break and pop into this pub for a very good beer and lunch the special ales are to die for plenty of spitfire brew on show the food is middle of the road but the staff are friendly and will point you in the right direction as the menu and please listen they knows best then across the road for afternoon tea in the berkeley but thats another review by for now jeffery bobbles bon bon

This pub is hidden in a lovely mews opposite the Berkeley Hotel. Delightful bar, lovely food and great landlord/ bar staff, always up for chat and laugh.
