Wildwood in Winchester

I can't recommend this place enough! The food was fantastic—each dish, from the calamari to the sticky toffee pudding, was spot on in taste and presentation. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure we enjoyed every moment. Although I felt the value could be slightly better, the overall experience was still brilliant. If you're looking for a great meal, you definitely need to check this spot out!

great food.. really great food. little quiet. only the service was a bit tardy... but in fairness we were a group of 24. Will be going back again. tartiflette 😀

Food took an hour and a half to arrive and was not hot when it did

Chips were cold - creamed spinach side missing and looks like we have someone else’s spaghetti meal - someone else is going to be disappointed as well - overall disappointing ☹️

loved everything! So clean and well looked after. food was exceptional and well priced. our server was Bo and we spontaneously commented between ourselves several times during our meal how lovely she was. Friendly, attentive and welcoming. all staff who interacted with us were very nice. can’t wait to come back

Great restaurant - great food -great service - great atmosphere. Definitely worth going. Would recommend to go the pizza and pasta dishes are scrummy

Great service & very tasty food with good portion sizes. Enjoyable atmosphere & not too noisy or crowded like some other places recently.

Very good food, lovely staff and pleasant atmosphere.

My partner and I got turned away by a young lady because we didn't have a booking when the restaurant was half empty with absolutely no explanation as to why. Even if it's the restaurants policy to not accept walk ins after a certain time, maybe train your staff in how to handle it better. We like wildwood. After this experience we won't be rushing back.

Great place to eat. Service fab. Only downside for me, it's a big place and very loud so you feel like your shouting.

I just had the best meal at this spot! Everything from the food and drinks to the service was top-notch. I was warmly greeted and felt well cared for throughout my visit. Plus, the atmosphere was just right for a relaxed lunch. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

Food arrived late and cold, pizza very dry and not appetising when cold

Took my friend for her 60th birthday lunch. Fabulous service, friendly, but professional. Food was delicious and hot. Great atmosphere and decor. We had a selection of starters, instead of main meals. Will definitely return if in the area.

Always great food and service at a reasonable price.

Warm and cosy with a nice vibe. Friendly staff, hot tasty food. Great service. Really enjoyed our experience. Table of four ...family members, celebrating two birthdays.

Lovely bright clean spacious restaurant. All the staff were very cheerful and attentive taking time to chat to customers. Food was very tasty and pipping hot. Good value 2 courses £13.95 from special menu. Free parking was a bonus.

My pizza was horrible- cold and uncooked jelly like egg white! The chips were inedible- not only were they cold, they also had a very odd cleaning substance taste. Overall a complete waste of £20 odd pounds. The delivery lady was an absolute star, very friendly and lovely. Don’t think I’ll be getting a pizza from here again- so bad

Excellent service this evening with friendly attentive smiley staff. Popped in for a quick dinner and the 3 of us had a burger, bolognaise and a pizza. Pizza was the best I’d had anywhere in a long time. My request for a couple of extra toppings on my margarita was happily fulfilled and a generous amount too. All in all we are glad we came here for dinner as hadn’t visited for some time and everything was perfect. Will return for sure.

We waited an age for our food we even saw it on the hot counter to be bought over to us. When it eventually arrive the meals were Moy very warm, so we will not be rushing back.

Super service, on a quiet Sunday evening. Pizza was great, fresh and Naples style thin and huge. Fair price.

Lovely for lunchtime Menu suitable for all tastes went for the lighter options and was very pleased when meals arrived still very generous portions both me and my sister enjoyed our meal thank you too all the polite and helpful staff will be back

Enjoyed a Tasty Lunch today and Layla one of the Waitresses was very helpful ! Friendly Staff. Definitely will come back !

Might have just been the dish I had but the food was very bland.

Great food and atmosphere, I dont like the tipping scheme. I dont mind a polite request for a tip, I don't like having to ask to remove it. I feel like I'm pressured into it.

Lovely food, great service, we'll be back

The whole family love this place, none of us has ever had a bad meal, and they are often excellent. The staff are always great, and very quick to sort out any problems. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Popped in for lunch food was lovely.

Popped in for a lovely meal the other evening. Before we went to Cineworld to watch Twister's. Staff were great. Food was great too. Give it a try.

Always a great place to eat, for is good and the service was great 👍

I was treated very bad by a guy, very rude and discrimination was there against me! and pizza was cold and raw, I had ordered chips and the chips were very stale and cold and some were full of oil I recommend not going there or ordering food from there

I met friends for lunch here recently. Extremely welcoming staff and friendly atmosphere.

A little slow on service but it was busy. Food was good and staff were polite. A little noisy from the kids room and lots of screaming. Perfect for young families.

Fantastic service and food. Our server Josh was friendly and delivered a great experience

Lovely friendly staff that were so good with our granddaughters. The food was delicious and served quite quickly. Staff checked on us and made sure everything was perfect. Would recommend to anyone

Going to cinema and popped in for a quick bite a few months ago, now we are back frequently. Just great food, great service and very consistent....100% recommended

Came here for dinner with friends. I’d say it’s a nice place with attentive and friendly staff. I’d also say the food was really nice but if I’m being honest I feel it’s pricey for what it is and not particularly good value for the food. The decor is good in the restaurant. There is an ‘optional’ service charge added to the bill which you are told is totally optional but personally I don’t like this because if you want to tip then you will tip. I don’t like all these ‘optional tip’ places put on now as it’s almost forcing you to tip. Not in agreement with this new trend.

Excellent restaurant- good service and food

Not the best Pizza I've had lacked flavour, price wasn't cheap,not in hurry to go back.

OK Food and Service, Spoiled a little by the 10% automatically added Service Charge....with the option to remove it. We are not in America. We were a couple having a quick bite, one course before the cinema. Don't add 10%, I removed it on principle. Would probably have added myselfit if it hadnt been added for me.

Great venue, great food and lovely staff.

Great food and service. It can get a little noisy when busy.

Fantastic family meal tonight. Friendly staff and great food.

Came here with my mum and brothers for mother's day. We all enjoyed our meals. Lady came over a few times to see if we would like drinks which was nice. Didn't use the toilets so can't comment on them. Would come again 😁

I adore everything Italian and regularly make for Wildwood whenever I shop at Whitely mall.

Superb steaks, especially the steak sampler.

Took two of my Grandchildren here for lunch all staff very helpful. We all ordered our food which came pretty promptly. I asked the waitress part way through the meal if it was possible if I could have 1 more slice of Sourdough bread to enable me to finish my pate No problem she said and within a couple of minutes it duly arrived. We finished our meal and I asked for the bill which also arrived pretty promptly. On studying the bill I noticed a charge for a slice of Sourdough Bread wait for it £1-75 I could not believe what I was reading yes I did say £ 1-75. I asked the waitress if they were joking because I could buy a loaf of bread for that price and have change she said there was nothing she could do!!! I then decided to remove the service charge which did not go down well. Someone in Authority at Wildwood needs to get a grip as all I wanted was one more slice of bread

Nice pizza, best in whitely for pizza

Pizza was great but the calamari was a bit rubbery, speedy service for a lunchtime. All in all, a nice lunch

Surprisingly busy for a Monday. Nevertheless, service was swift and accurate and the food was good.

Fabulous evening's meal with family. Service was spot on. Staff were lovely and happy. Food was tasty and we all enjoyed. It was perfect in every way. Well done all staff.

Fantastic service from friendly staff. Good was great.

Brilliant. I had a job to finish my dish and needed help from my family. But it was excellent, everything was excellent. It was quiet when we went there, not too pricey.

My favourite Whiteley restaurant

We had a great Christmas meal here. Good choice for veggies which we often struggle to get. Staff helpful

We had Christmas catch up with friends and decided to pop in to Wildwood. Our waitress Daisy was a delight - really pleasant with a great sense of humour. Certainly did Wildwood proud. Our meals were all very nice and included seafood pasta, peri-peri chicken and pizza. Overall a very good dining experience.

It was a quiet afternoon & the service & food were great. My only gripe was for a table of 2 was the 10%service charge automatically added, although it was optional to pay it. I felt that for big parties fair enough for tables less than 6, it shouldn't be automatically added. As a result, I didn't tip how I wanted to. A downer or a very pleasant lunch.

Ordered a takeaway the other night, when the calzone and flat bread arrived stone cold, shame really as it’s not cheap.

Good food at reasonable price. Polite service. Happy to eat here again.

Food was amazing, came out fast and the staff were very friendly.

The food here is so very hit and miss lately. Ive been coming here for years and last nights experience fell short . I had a pepperoni pizza which was over cooked and tasted like a frozen pizza from Iceland , my son had carbonara which was very flavourful but was dry . The rosemary garlic bread was like a poppadom ,, very over cooked and snapped intead of tearing . The best part of the meal was the side of chips which were hot and salty (£4.75 for a tiny basket) !!, . The staff on the whole were ok . We were greeted by a mature foreign lady with very little warmth or welcoming / time for the customer , given a table by the front door which produced an icy blast every time it was opened , we moved in the end but I could tell she was irritated by our request. At no time were we asked if we were happy with our food ( we were not ) but just got on with it . This is not a cheap place to eat and the standard has definitely dropped , there is also a 10% service charge added to the bill , which granted is optional . I dont mind tipping people who have given good service and food but the presumption is not welcome ,, plus why should you pay extra to people for doing the work they are already paid to do and that is the reason they are there ?. This experience has pushed us away from Wildwood Whitely and we will go to other places ,, its such a shame things have slipped at our old favourite .

Lovely experience staff really welcoming and friendly 😊

High quality food, cooked nicely Kindness and readiness in the service High level pizza Very well done

Amazing visit (03/11/23) 👌 Food: Tasty 👍 Staff: were welcoming, really quick service ⌛ Atmosphere: 5 Stars 🤩 Already planning my next visit.

We’ve eaten in different venues of Wildwood previously, they’ve all provided good food with minimal waiting. Will continue to visit.

If you’re looking for a nice dinner where you’re able to have a conversation AVOID. The restaurant is so loud and they sat us in the middle of the echoing room - if you do not want to spend your meal shouting to one another then defiantly avoid. Myself and my partner ended up moving tables due to not being able to bare being in the middle. Although this helped it was still overwhelmingly loud within the restaurant. It is very much similar to a restaurant within an all exclusive hotel, not the dining experience we were expecting. The staff were extremely rude, they rushed us to order. Didn’t ask how our food was or if everything was okay, was not welcomed on our arrival (menus where thrown at the table and the waiter disappeared before we even sat down) - probably due to knowing how bad the restaurant is themselves. We ordered prawns for a starter - just to make it clear you can by a pack ready to eat which is nicer from M&S for a quarter of the price. Bread was dry and they were defiantly not king prawns - wouldn’t be surprised if they were microwaved. My main was not as bad as expected. I got the cheese steak sandwich - it was average for the price. My partner on the other hand got a rack of ribs - the driest, most flavourless ribs. Do not recommend at all. It’s a shame as I feel that the location has so much potential that is going to waste.

Stood waiting at the entrance for a while, asked for a table for two and was told it would be a 20 minute wait because they didn't have enough staff. The place was half empty. If the management read this, you clearly need more staff.

Portion sizes were disappointing. If I'm paying £12 or £13 for a burger, I at least expect it to be Big Mac size, not something just big enough to feed a mouse. Everything else was good though!

Went for a meal with grandparents who are notoriously fussy but everyone enjoyed. Service was really attentive, however there was a longer than usual gap between our starters and mains. All dishes were delicious, apart from the confit duck which was more like crispy aromatic duck from the Chinese, which was a shame as the flavour was nice. Would go again - great space and even have a ‘kids zone’ away from the main dinning area.

We had some lovely food here on Saturday night. My risotto was lovely and my friends all enjoyed their meals too. Parking was really busy but it was raining so that was to be expected. They did add a service charge onto our meal which we chose to remove as we were not a large party. Would definitely come back. Spent £25 on main, dessert and a drink.

We visited early evening, great time as not too busy. Great food, great service

Very nice restaurant, the staff were very friendly and efficient. This is the first time I had visited this chain of restaurants, and will certainly chose them again. Good range of foods and affordable prices.

Went for a quick bite to eat after work. Sadly the outside area was not open due to shortage of staff to serve it. Nice decor inside and staff were very friendly especially our waiter. Food was good but under seasoned (but I always find that with carbonara and is probably just my taste!). Rosemary garlic bread was a bit over cooked and needed more rosemary. Portions were good size and good price. Would happily go back again.

Good food poor service slow with the drinks waitress did not know where she was . No offer of condiments. Very unprofessional.

Very welcoming place. Quick to be seated and served drinks. Staff don’t hound you and the restaurant very clean. I have recommended this place already as the food is delicious. Hopefully going back soon.

Excellent service and fantastic food and drinks😎

I did nit appreciate one of tge managers standing at tge past chewing gum. It was disgusting specially when they were servung food.

Was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it here. The pizza was fantastic. Our waitress was fantastic. I will definitely visit again.

Tasty food, served piping hot, quickly, and in generous portions. Excellent value for money!

The menu looked very good and the food was also very tasty. The pizza could have a little more meat and the staff could smile a little more. Furthermore, nice place, you sit private and there is also a separate corner for children.

Food was excellent, there was four of us ,so we had a variety of different items from the menu.. Recommend the risotto and also the ribs..Staff really friendly and polite.. really nice decor also. Definitely a favourite!

Good food, setting and staff. Very enjoyable.

Service was fine . Food was awful . Butter chicken burger was tasteless and greasy . Pasta with tomatoes was small tasteless and basic salad was bland with no care taken or dressing even offered

I had never been there before, but will be going again, food excellent service good, they have a small service charge, more than happy to pay it For the standard of food we had.

First time of visiting, on spec, as we passed the door. Lovely service, fantastic food. The only down was that it took a long time for the food to come - although maybe that's a good thing as it's cooked fresh.

Great food, good service, my 2 kids loved it, kids meals great , fair value , definitely would come back again

It was quite busy when we arrived and got busier while we were there. The service from the friendly staff was very good and our food arrived quickly and we all enjoyed our meals. Will be visiting again.

We had an amazing time, the food was delicious , the service was brilliant. Couldn't of asked for anything more.

Such a shame. Very little vegan choice, no lt even dairy alternative for tea/coffee. Floor staff, although lovely, were not attentive by any stretch of imagination. Mains brought out before starters were finished. Had to wait 20 minutes before anyone noticed we were finished our mains, then another 20 before anyone came back to ask us if we wanted anything from the dessert menu we had been given :/

Good food and relaxing atmosphere

This place has fast become one of my families favourite go to places, the staff are always lovely, the atmosphere is good, there are even blankets for you to snuggle in if your cold. Reasonable prices and the best gluten free pizza I've eaten!! I always add Italian ham to my pizza.... No its not on the menu but that's how I like it and they are always happy to make it that way for me, 10 out of 10 we will be back, lots!!!

Very sneaky way of adding the service charge to bill which as an older customer and lights a bit low, I could not see. We queued to pay for what we had eaten and I ended up with the entire charge on my portion of a 5 person bill. I paid almost £14 for three of us on top of our food. There was a biro line around that part which I saw later but by then had paid £88 for three meals.

Enjoyed our meal , great service

Food fantastic. Service from server and manager very good. Atmosphere was a bit lacking.

Great ... Good food, good atmosphere, good service

Great service, tasty food and food came very quick. Me and my partner decided to go out last minute. We didn't book just walked in and was seated very quickly. My partner ordered the 'seafood linguini' he said it was very tasty, he was hoping for a bit more squid as only came across 3/4 small pieces, but apart from that he was very happy with his dish. I order the 'carbonara' again was very yummy, but it was a bit too salty for me in my opinion. Overall great service from the staff with smiles on their faces and we're all very polite. Would definitely recommend and be returning 😁

Came here for dinner this evening. There were 3 of us. The staff were very friendly any very good at their job. The food was fantastic. The restaurant was very busy so we assumed we were in for a long wait for our meal. But that was not the case. I thought the prices were reasonable. I had a ribeye steak which was cooked just how I liked it. It was one of the best steaks I have eaten in a restaurant. Suffice to say we will return.

Fantastic resteraunt, delicious food, excellent service, kids room allowing for a more relaxing meal, and great attention to detail regarding food allergies, which put our minds at rest. Everything you want from a meal out. Would highly recommend this place.

Part of our party arrived first and was told that they wouldn’t be able to seat us as they had no space. Looked around and in the whole restaurant 4 tables were in use. When they sat us, 2 of us decided to order the duck conflict which was disgusting. It obviously came out of a bag and the veg was not enough to feed a small child. There was no sauce on the plate apart from a bit the size of a finger nail. One of the pizzas was like cardboard. We never got table checked and they had the nerve to put a service charge which was a disgrace. I myself work in the trade and this is not how you treat customers. They weren’t accommodating towards customers and generally a visit I never want to repeat. Our party will not be returning.

2nd visit food brilliant both times

Very good. We had a nice booth for the three of us. Pleasant and attentive staff (but not overly intrusive). Good menu choice and wide range of options for the gluten-free member of the party. The pizza was enormous and so we were given a doggy-bag/box. (Pizza was still good the net day!) Has gone to the top of our list in Whiteley. Will return.
