Wildwood Kitchen in Camden

Just had an amazing meal here! The food was on point, especially the focaccia and zucchini fritti—absolutely delicious! The service was top-notch; I was greeted warmly and the staff checked in throughout my meal. Everything from the atmosphere to the cleanliness was spot on. Can’t wait to come back again!

Great restaurant. Family friendly. Great service and atmosphere

The staff made my wife and myself feel very welcome. The food was lovely. Our first visit and will recommend to others. 😁😁

Very pleasant lunch with former colleagues. Menu with good choice, all the dishes were well cooked and service was great.

Good food, quick friendly service , perfect place to eat for the theatre.

The lunch menu and especially the kids menu can’t be beat. Lovely atmosphere, good food and excellent value

Everything was amazing. We were able to pay extra to have toppings on our pizza. Food was hot Staff were very nice Tables were clean

Great service and food. We will be back

I just had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious—especially the mozzarella and caramelised onion garlic bread and the torta della nonna, which reminded me of my own nonna's cooking. Service was top-notch; the team greeted us warmly, checked in on our meal, and even handed us the dessert menus without delay. The entire place was spotless and had a lovely atmosphere. I can't wait to come back!

Visited during half term as we were watching Matilda with our daughter. Service was great (our waiter was lovely!), relaxed atmosphere and we all really enjoyed the food. Good little touches like activity menus for the kids and crayons, and a glass with tigers in! (See pic!). Would definitely recommend and go again.

Great food and prompt service for a pre-theatre meal. My family had 2 types of pasta and a pizza. All sensible portions and well prepared.

Really beautiful restaurant. The food is freshly cooked and so tasty. I was there with my family. My sister had the lasagne and I had the chicken cob salad. The chicken was so tender and the salad amazingly fresh. Our server, Farid, was really attentive. We have been here a few times now and keep coming back for all these reasons.

This restaurant has a blue plaque that says "Yes", but it's usually located outside the building, but I looked at Google Street and it didn't look like it, so I decided to book inside. However, I was jet-lagged the day after arriving from Tokyo and ate a lot of sweets in the morning, so I was in no condition to eat because of my heartburn, so I canceled my restaurant reservation on the day of my arrival and had to take a photo of this Blue Plague. I made a completely selfish request and they kindly agreed, and I am truly grateful. I was kindly guided and told, ``It's underground, so come along!'' and I had the audacity to take a photo. I don't know when the next time will be, but I'll definitely go eat there when I'm in London! thank you very much. So, I was able to see the monument of “Yes” with my own eyes, which was my long-awaited goal.

What an absolute rude young woman working behind the counter. Asked if we can have coffee (which we done a few weeks ago)totally refused in a cold sentence, did brag it up but never again.

Schön in Covent Garden gelegen, kann man hier auch eine Mini-Pizza mit Mini-Salat oder Spaghetti bestellen, für den kleinen Hunger. Der Preis ist in Ordnung, es hat extrem gut geschmeckt. Es gibt im Außenbereich 4 Tische, drinnen ist es gemütlich eingerichtet. Einzig 10% Zuschlag für den Service ist heftig, aber normal in London. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Ideal place to make your vacation in London seem like it is longer. The time it takes to serve is eternal. I don't know if the food will be good, I've been waiting for it for 45'... run away

We carefully researched gluten free availability in the Shaftesbury Avenue area and found Wildwood to be one of the stars what is otherwise a allergen information desert! Although we picked specifically for Gluten Free availability in easy reach of a west end show we were please with what we had. The food was quite good for what is a chain restaurant and the drinks were also good too. The upstairs in light and area and intimate despite the close packed tables. There are some outside tables, and also a downstairs dining room where some groups could be accommodated. We had no issue with the service and the prices were what we would expect in the west end of London. We would happily eat here again.

Great place for a quick no frills family meal. Prices very reasonable and staff friendly. Menu basic but no complaints.

We entered the restaurant 5 minutes ago and saw that the tables were dirty and we asked for them to be cleaned. The behavior of the lady on duty was really disrespectful and rude. Unfortunately, we did not see the satisfaction we saw in our previous visit.

The food is great here. Unfortunately I experienced racism from a staff here as an Asian minority. Staff did not smile when serving me or say anything at all when she served the food to me. Compared to serving other customers, she was much friendlier and polite to them. Please understand that racism should not be tolerated.

Cosy little place with good food and drinks!

Lovely spot & outdoor seating at Monmouth Street Grilled Seabass 10/10 So fresh and yummy. Zucchini fries with dip 10/10 Goat cheese penne pan pasta 6/10 Margarita pizza 7/10 Fries 8.5/10 Orange juice was not fresh 3/10 I’d come back for the seabass & zucchini appetiser 👌🏼

Totally disappointing, we will not repeat. We went to celebrate Father's Day, but our dinner was ruined. We went for dinner for more than 2 hours . We ordered 2 starters (one bruschetta and garlic bread), 1 side (fries), 3 main courses (one pizza and two calzone) and drinks. They served us the starters after waiting a long time, and when the waitress was taking our plates, she asked us if we wanted desserts. I told her that we were waiting for the mains, we had just finished the starters. They were unsure about our order and they didn't asked us anything to confirm it. After all, we only got 2 of the main dishes, one was missing and we did not want them to prepare it since we already waited over an hour to get the main courses. The food was poorly cooked, the pizza was too toasted and the inside of the calzone was raw. Additonally, the salad that accompanied the calzone was only 4 leaves and undressed. Everything was terrible compared to previous times we had gone. We do not plan to repeat this experience, I do not recommend the restaurant.

Great menu choice and value for money in London.

Small and wholesome. Welcoming staff. Amazing food and drink!

Nice food and drinks staff is friendly , food was bland for chicken and dry, server took 40 min to collect payment after looking at him saying please let me pay and leave and kept serving and getting payment for guest after me won’t return

Very rich. It has a lunch menu in 2 and 3 courses. They have vegan and gluten free options.

Amazing service by alina. The place has a great atmosphere.

The staff here is nothing to write home about, let's just say… from minute 1 they didn't seem to be in the mood for it; face that is anything but cheerful. It's quite cozy there, especially when the weather is nice. The dishes are also quite good, with the option to choose a menu. Unfortunately, the 'minute steak' was a miss... I think it had been in the pan for 3 minutes too long... Staff here also simply leave the shop during work to get a drink for themselves at Starbucks; special…

Great restaurant. Staff is really friendly, Service is great. Food is delicious. I had the lasagna and it was so good. Great location. They have outdoor seating. Restrooms are downstairs and really clean.

I had a bad experience, since I had a baby and the bathrooms were not made for people with children. Asking a waitress for help was my worst decision. Very bad attention, they have treated me very badly, not even kindness because I had a baby. I don't recommend this place at all. It's not all about the food and the atmosphere, customer service is very important. Besides, you have to learn to carry at least 2 plates of food to be a waitress. Not at all professional.

Tous les plats étaient surgelés, la pâte des lasagnes était marron, le steak très dur (impossible a mâcher), le burger de poulet immangeable. Et l'accueil épouvantable pourtant il était 19h30 pas beaucoup de monde mais les serveurs n'avaient vraiment pas envie de nous voir.

Hi, I was asking very nicely, patiently about to charge my phone after we already have ordered drinks. You guys told me to use only the contacts close to entrence. I never worked. You only keep telling me it’s something wrong with my equipments. Because it you say it worked with other ones. I asked patiently to try another one, and then she got very rude and superbad attitude telling me: What I can do? With so much arm & shoulder using like I was stupid and, so ugly!! That’s why I left, I went to charge my phone with completely the same equipments in the hotel 10m away. It WORKED!! They still managed that I had to pay for coffee when I left before drinking anything! Really disgusting.

Really bad service. The waiters have an ugly attitude!

Worst service I have ever had. They where so rud and didn’t help. They responded with very bad attitude!!

They made me leave and still had to pay for the coffee after they was very rud. I didn’t even drink the coffee. Very disrespectul. Don’t go here! I really don’t recommend.

Ugly attitude of the waiters. They made me leave and still had to pay for the coffee after they was very rud. I didn’t even drink the coffee.

Food was good, portions were a bit on the smaller side but maybe we were just hungry. They offer a kids menu with two courses and a drink for 7£ which is an amazing initiative!

Excellent meal, staff and location!! We'll be back!!!

Excellent gluten free pasta! It’s so rare to get a shape other than penne as gluten free, so the casarecce was an utter delight. Staff was really patient and understanding with dietary requirements (celiac). I wish there were gluten free desserts other than just ice cream, but other than that it was a delight. Didn’t get sick from cross contamination, so thank you for your care!

Great spot in a good location. All the food was delicious and the service was sweet. No complaints

Great food. Good service. Reasonable price. Sees both sides of the street. You can sit outside on a good weather.

Had a lovely meal. The lasagne was great and a tasty salad. Asked for no olives but it came with some. My daughter had the chicken pizza, decent size, she enjoyed it. She loved the kids chocolate brownie. There was some confusion with the booking. I booked on the same day but they must print their list the night before, so my name was not downas having booked, which caused a delay and a rush at the end to get to the theatre. Saddened to hear the restsurant is clising though, as it is a sweet little place with lovely food.

For the food in this city, pretty good as Italian.

The English progressive rock band YES formed here in the basement of the then Lucky Horseshoe Cafe. YES left here to play their first gig on the 3rd August 1968.

Too bland for one dish, too spicy for the other, the waiter disrespectful, too noisy...to be avoided

Super rude staff. Came in to get drinks and fries around 3.45pm. Staff told us we had to leave in 15 minutes because they were gonna get busy as it was Saturday and dinner time???? We stayed till 4.10. Restaurant was empty the whole time. I went up to get ketchup and she reprimanded me and scolded me for serving myself, when she is not being friendly to her customers. She said, “This is a restaurant.” Would not recommend this place to anyone. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

What a find! Visiting London with my adult daughters we visited for lunch. The restaurant was spotless and tastefully decorated. Staff were welcoming and efficient. All of our food was delicious and hot. Great variety on menu. The location is great in Seven Dials and close to Covent Garden.

We had arrived early for a pre theatre meal 5.30 pm, theatre at 7 pm. After a 45 min wait our food had still not arrived. Other people were coming and going, We asked the server where are order was, she apologised and said it will be another few mins. At 6.30 pm we got up to leave. I walked outside as our food came. The female server again apologised. We had 10 mins to rush our food. The food was very good but the whole experience was awful. On paying my husband said, did you forget our order? Yes, she apologised again and gave us a discount. Great food, but on this visit, not a great service, we were left for too long with nobody checking where out order was. I have contacted customer care after Cynthia read my review. No surprise she hasn't responded to my email, probably to busy with all the other complaints or this is just a stunt to look like they actually care

Excellent. Very pleased to find accessible entrance. They made space for me in my mobility scooter. For was great, staff really friendly and good value. It's very small and toilets are downstairs so it's not fully accessible but they've done their best!

Durant notre balade dans le quartier de Covent Garden, une belle odeur nous a attiré pour le déjeuner. Une belle surprise, le personnel accueillant et chaleureux. Les plats étaient simples mais délicieux pour un prix raisonnable. Si vous passez devant, vous ne serez pas déçus.

Went for dinner after a show. Great little restauraunt delicious food and cocktails and amazing value for Central London. Would definitely visit again and highly recommended.

Popped in after the theatre for a glass of wine and a plate of pasta. Served quickly, food great, clean table. On the negative, men’s toilet was smelly.

المطعم جدا لذيذ جربت بيتزا الستيك

I had an excellent Pizza stripes with a great service.

Excellent food - even the gf option was delicious. We had the lighter portions and the food amount was more than sufficient. Tasty, varied salad. Great service and good price.

Very bad service. The waitress was clearly very rude, or shall I say, racist?

I came on 20/01 around half past 3 in the afternoon, and after we sat down and ordered coffee and dessert. The waitress lady then said we have to leave because we need to order food. I asked if it is because coffee is low value and how much we need to spend, but the lady insists us to leave. I feel quite sorry for her because clearly she is having a bad day. If you are really strict about ordering food as a rule, maybe you should let people know when they walk in.

We used your restaurant as part of our family London theatre trip, as there was x9 of us, we prebooked. You were extremely helpful while booking and on the day all the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was lively. Food was great and pricing was reasonable. Thank you for looking after all of us.

The food was reasonably priced which is why we picked the restaurant as very reasonable for Covent Garden area. Food was only mediocre. Service was good at first but then we were not offered dessert, more drinks or coffee. We only got to pay our bill as we started putting on coats then they appeared. It wasn’t the best meal I’ve had in London. Maybe if they were not so busy it would have been better.

Chose this restaurant because my partner was keen for a steak and I had checked that they had three options and saw they were 4.2 star rated at the time. Service was very average, staff looked annoyed to serve customers, bar/ service area was full of old dishes to the point there was barely any room for the bartender to make drinks. Ordered a cocktail which was more akin to a juice than a cocktail. My partner ordered the rib eye which was more of an off cut meat piece - definitely not a rib eye. Automatic service charge also left a bitter taste after poor service and a short dinning time. Definitely won’t be returning

Excellent early evening meal, although the outlook on to Shaftsbury Avenue is not particularly picturesque it is definitely worth a visit.

The food was delicious. The staff were very attentive. The wine was of excellent quality. There was a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant - great value for money.

Our expectations were high, but unfortunately only partially met, hence the 3 stars. The reservation process was smooth, and the ambiance was pleasantly cozy. However, the food had its downsides – some dishes were simply under-seasoned. Another point of criticism is the wine service: We ordered three 175ml glasses of wine, but two were „mistakenly“ charged as 250ml, which we found quite outrageous. Towards the end of our visit, we felt somewhat rushed to leave as the staff began cleaning up around us. This significantly dampened the atmosphere.

Went to the Shaftesbury Avenue one on Dec 29th about 5 pm. Pretty busy but they found us a table for two. This place does not look that expensive (and it actually isn’t, especially for London), a bit more cafe/bistro than restaurant, but we agreed everything given to us was really excellent. We had olives, bread, prawns, bruschetta, pizza, fries and lasagne and everything was full of flavour. I was so pleased I left a record tip (and I’m a tight, grumpy, very hard to please, middle aged northern bloke)!

Made no note of our booking even though we made it via the Wildwood website and we had an email confirmation. Staff were very unhelpful and unfriendly

Cheap doesn't have to mean rude. Would have been 5 star but, fat dude was hella rude, just didn't give a care in the world.

Echt heerlijk gegeten. We hebben hier 2 dagen achter elkaar gegeten omdat we terug wilde komen. Ook de prijs is erg fijn voor wat voor heerlijk eten je krijgt. Ook de sfeer in het restaurant is erg gezellig. Zeker een aanrader!

What a lovely atmosphere! Great food too and not expensive. All 6 of us really enjoyed our meals. Friendly staff. We went for a pre show dinner, the location is a 1 minute walk to the Shaftesbury Theatre and we booked at 5.45 which made for the perfect timing for a relaxed meal with just enough time to mooch across to the show. Will definitely return.

Service un peu long. Personnel agréable. La cuisine est bonne mais pas exceptionnelle non plus.

Expérience désastreuse. L'ambiance en elle-même est très appréciable, le restaurant est très beau et peu bruyant. Mais le service et la qualité des plats... Un steak minute, dont l'exploit s'il en est, est d'avoir eu la capacité d'être sec et rigide comme une semelle et d'être quand-même tendre. La viande sans goût était rattrapée par son beurre à l'ail qui tentait tant bien que mal de sauver les meubles. Sans parler du serveur qui faisait de la drague compulsive à ma sœur qui était gênée tout le long du repas. Je ne recommande pas du tout.

À éviter fortement, trop cher pour ce qu il y a dans l assiette...on mange mieux au Mc do...c'est peu de le dire !!

Went in at 6 30. Ordered. At 7 20 we had to leave. NO FOOD and £40 bill for 2 drinks and 2 meals that they FORGOT to cook

Pizza was good but carbonara was very bland. (Definitely a first!)

First visit and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Food and service was very good, highly recommend. The fact they had to turn people away as fully booked, spoke volumes.

We waited 1hour and 15 minutes for our food. We had to be out by 7.15pm to get to the theatre. Not one member of staff offered us an explanation or apology. We walked out.,

Stopped in for lunch as we were shopping in the area. It was very busy but a nice atmosphere and attentive staff. We both had the Carbonara which was a very generous portion and lovely. Creamy and salty, but not overpowering, highly recommended. A glass of Sauvingnon Blanc from the wine list was also really nice. Though the wine list is not extensive.

Excellent food and very friendly service. No problem with an allergy that one of Guest had. Very understanding. Great for pre-theatre meal.

Good food, service and menu. Sensibly priced and well worth a visit

Great staff , but sadly on this occasion food was pretty disappointing. Of our starters both prawn dishes were cold ,and had to be sent back, rather than cook fresh dishes ,they were simply warmed up and returned to us !! Mains were not much better ,3 of the 4 were warm but not hot ,while the 4th boiling and freshly cooked. Very odd seeing as the restaurant was pretty quiet. The guy serving us was really nice ,so credit to him. On this occasion it was disappointing and no where near the level experienced before. Always a bit embarrassing when taking family out to a place I've recommended.

Food was great, and served in good time! Staff were very friendly and helpful, overall I would recommend this restaurant!

Absolutely amazing little hidden gem in London. Food, deserts and cocktails all amazing and not overpriced.

Restaurante muy acogedor las camareras super amables y las pizzas estupendas, bien de precio (en Londres)

We had an excellent meal at Wildwood Kitchen. Three perfectly prepared dishes and three lovely dessert. Especially the Rigatoni speck was to die for!

Lovely quiet coffee shop, friendly staff and nice food, highly recommend. Nice outside seating

Excellent food and service. Great location and prices.

Great experience! I would definitely eat here again.

We came in to escape the heat and have a light lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the food. Delicious, fresh, pasta cooked perfectly al dente Partner loved his peri peri chicken penne pasta.

atmosphere was really nice, food was okay, staff are unfriendly :(

Great location. Food was really decent and not expensive. The sea bass was actually great and the fries especially good . Our waitress was a bit grumpy but it was hot. I would definitely go back if in the area.

As written by my 10yr old and 7yr old The food was really good. I loved my pepperoni pizza and the chocolate brownie was really delicious and warm. The tomato penne pasta was SO delicious. I could eat it everyday. Service was really good. Food came out quick and it's really good you have a kids menu with activities. BUT, you forgot the pens. So we couldn't colour or do the puzzles. The atmosphere is nice. We sat downstairs, and I think they could make it a bit more modern. The seats we sat in were really good, but for adults it would be too high. I would definitely come back here just for the chocolate brownie.

Absolutely charming place with the kindest staff. Tasty food and drinks.

Good, quick service & good food. Perfect for pre theatre dinner.

In visita a Londra siamo entrati attratti dall'ambiente elegante ma il personale assolutamente scortese e ancora peggio cibo caro e di pessima qualità!!!!!!!!!

Super cute Italian restaurant with a lovely little street level dinning and bar area and a large dining room downstairs. Food and service were great. Highly recommend!

I cannot eat gluten or dairy and have other foods I cannot tolerate. The gf pizza with vegan cheese option was very good. Service was good, too

There where 4 of us, I ordered Peri-peri chicken penne, it looked good and tasted good, however there where only 4 pieces of chicken in the meal, each about 2.5 cm long and about 1.5cm round, I had trouble finding the chicken in the dish. I did complain and my plate was taken away, by the time it came back with 2 more small pieces of chicken, my three fellow diners had virtually finished their meals.

I had the pleasure of dining at Shaftesbury Avenue last Saturday, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the warm welcome to the delightful cuisine, every aspect of my visit was truly memorable. The manager, Alina, deserves special recognition for creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. Her attentiveness and dedication to ensuring the highest level of customer satisfaction were evident throughout the evening. Alina’s passion for hospitality shone through, and her knowledge of the menu and recommendations added an extra touch of expertise to our dining experience. The waitstaff, including Silviu, Oana, and Valentin, were outstanding. They were attentive, friendly, and displayed an impeccable sense of timing. Their professionalism and warmth made us feel valued as guests, and they were always ready to assist with any inquiries or special requests. The team's genuine enthusiasm for their work was evident in their interactions, and they elevated our dining experience to new heights. Now, let's talk about the food. Each plate that graced our table was a work of art, both visually appealing and bursting with flavor. The standout dishes included the succulent grilled steak, cooked to perfection and accompanied by a rich, savory sauce. Beyond the exceptional food and service I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Alina, Silviu, Oana, Valentin, and the entire team at Shaftesbury Avenue for providing an unforgettable dining experience. Their dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence truly set this restaurant apart. I cannot recommend Shaftesbury Avenue highly enough and will undoubtedly be returning to savor their culinary delights again soon. Thank you once again for a truly exceptional evening! Sincerely, [Cristian Mirea]

We chose not to pay the service charge on our bill as we didn’t think the service we experienced matched up to the charge. Upon paying our bill and leaving, we were followed out of the restaurant and shouted at for not making it clear we weren’t paying the service charge. After apologising and beginning to walk away the staff member swore at us and put her middle finger up towards us.
