Winfield in Merton

£50 for rubbish, avoid. You’ll find better sandwiches and cake in the town. No gluten or diary free products so don’t bother looking at the allergy menu

What an amazing treat for mum and I before we saw a few games of tennis. Food was fab device was fab.

Champagne afternoon tea booked in advance as part of a visit to Wimbledon. Disappointing that despite prior booking tables were allocated on a ‘first come first served’ basis. The food and drink were first class, but very expensive for the quantities served, and payment (including service charge) taken at time of booking.

I have to admit to being more than a little disappointed. £100 for the champagne tea. Four finger sandwiches and a scone each plus two small cakes each. Oh the £100 includes £24 for two small glasses f champagne. Don’t drink it all at once! Take two sips… I appreciate that this is Wimbledon tennis but way overpriced for what it is. Service was nonexistent!

We visited the Wingfield restaurant yesterday. 2023 Championship opening day, as a treat. £110 each so not cheap. Pulled ham terrine, was actually a ballontine. Poached cod main course was cold on a cold plate. Cheese board had the preserve missing. Nobody realised ! Took 25 mins to rectify! Chef could not find the preserve. The cheese board came with grapes that looked a week old and the celery stick was not pealed! Very poor experience, very disappointed. Chef would not last 5 mins in my old kitchen!

My friend and I often book in for the Wingfield’s afternoon tea when lucky enough to be drawn out of the public or LTA ballots and attend the Championships. We did this yesterday [day one, 2023 tournament]. We had pre booked so were able to skip a quickly gathering queue up the familiar steps. We checked in [about the third lot of people there] and were told where our table was and led to it. There was an issue with table positioning which, after an elongated discussion with three different people, was resolved to our acceptance. After a short wait, the orders were taken and a few minutes later, our afternoon tea arrived. It had all that was on the menu, though I didn’t like the fact that we both paid the price for the afternoon tea but the 4 cakes listed on the menu were “shared” between the two at the table. I believe if you pay full price each, you should have the full quota of cakes each. Additionally, the menu includes strawberries and cream, though when I queried where they were [as they weren’t brought with the rest of the stuff], the young waitress didn’t think they were part of the afternoon tea. I put her right and they were duly brought to the table. The cost of the AT has gone up by just short of 50% since 2018. Whilst recognising everything is going up and what we all have to endure in the shops in the modern day, I feel nowadays when leaving the restaurant that for the price, it’s not bringing as much feel good and satisfaction as it used to do. This was the most disappointing aspect of what was otherwise a great day at The Championships.

The tickets for this year were '' re balloted '' as many were unable to take up their 2020 allocation. We ere offered and accepted Men's Final, which we were lucky with in 2019 too. A very special treat again as we dined here in 2019 and thought the experience was extra special, so again for 2022. A warm welcome - the ambience is just superb, service was with '' Bronte '' who looked after us throughout always topping up my ' vino '' Starter - smoked salmon, Main - Sea Bass, Dessert - Lemon Tart, then Coffee. Beautifully presented, and delicious throughout. The Brass band played below too. Yes Yes is is expensive, sometimes in life we owe ourselves a treat or two !!!

Came here for lunch during the off-season while at the £25 Wimbledon grounds tour. As a vegetarian, I was hesitant initially looking at the beef pasties and sandwiches but was pleasantly surprised at a vegetable pasty and soup option. The pasty was hot and burnt the roof of my mouth (worth it) and the carrot-squash soup was excellent. A large holiday latte served with mini biscuits completed a sumptuous lunch after a long walking tour all around the 18 courts and Henman hill (or is it Murray mound now?). The seating is open and airy and the charging stations right outside the cafe are a useful option. A random addition, the Buddhapadhipa temple is a 10 min walk from the grounds and very worth a trip.

I ate here after the museum tour and the food was good. I liked it. Prices were ok and the place was really nice.

My friend and I were lucky enough to attend finals weekend and went for lunch at the Wingfield . Food was outstanding and service second to none . Perfect way to round off an amazing weekend .

Went for lunch today and it was awful. We thought we would go for a nice lunch before doing the tour and the museum And it was such a disappointment. We ordered a lasagne and salad and they had ran out of salad so they just slipped the smallest piece of lasagne in a bowl. We had a vegetarian pasty which was so dry you couldn’t cut it. Dreadful.

My dad and I came here for lunch after the museum/tour experience. Got to try a sausage roll and a pasty for the first time, and they were excellent. Had a tasty piece of cake for dessert, and I was excited to have strawberries and cream, a Wimbledon tradition.

We were advised by a friend to book the Wingfield for lunch and we were not disappointed. It was a hot day and we were so thankful we arrived in good time to be seated on the terrace. The food was excellent, portion sizes were just the right size that you didn't feel stuffed and the wine was free flowing. The waitress we had was lovely, very friendly and efficient. We enjoyed it so much we returned for champagne afternoon tea.

Watching the tennis on TV is exciting but being at the actual event and absorbing the wonderful atmosphere is priceless . So as we had tickets for the 2019 mens final we booked the Wingfield restaurant for lunch before the game. It was expensive but worth it ,the service was superb and the food well presented and delicious.

We booked the Wingfield for lunch on 14 July, Men's Finals day, and paid £183.90 in advance for two people. We arrived at 11.45 and were shown to a tiny table at the back, next to the kitchen and gossiping waiting staff. We were offered red, white or rose wine without any further description. All were served at room temperature. We both had rose and asked for ice cubes to cool it down. I had 'Symphony of Heritage Tomato with basil and mascarpone' to start. The symphony consisted of three slices of tomato with a very unpleasant slice of jellied tomato puree. The mascarpone was in fact two small mozzarella balls. My partner had Hoisin Mackerel. It was dry and came without the advertised black rice and buckwheat. For main course we both had the half lobster. It was tiny, overcooked and rubbery and came with tired old salad and grey potatoes which I would guess had been cooked several days before. The whole dish was covered in a sauce which was advertised as tomato, herb and sherry dressing but tasted of tomato ketchup and vinegar. Certainly the worst lobster dish I have ever been served in a restaurant. For dessert we were told that the advertised strawberry Eton mess was unavailable (no strawberries at Wimbledon?!) so I had chocolate mousse with tinned mandarins (advertised as charred mandarins). My partner had a white chocolate mousse and enjoyed it but would much rather have had the strawberry dessert. The whole experience was really disappointing, and we felt completely ripped off. Don’t waste your money here, there are many better (and cheaper) food outlets at Wimbledon.

I booked in advance of our visit to centre court for the men's finals. We had a very nice welcome, but it was downhill from then on I'm afraid - although I do not fault the table service at all. My mackerel and ham starter was OK althouh a little tired, the fish rather pasty. We both had our pre-ordered lobster salad, and this was just terrible! and at a £10 supplement each it was grossly overpriced. The half lobster, segemented in its shell, was small and not flavourful. The salad potatoes were grey, with some dark spots, so most unappetising. The whole dish was covered with waves of a salad dressing that tasted artificial and spoilt it. We complained about the potatoes, but all that happened was that a waitress delivered a message from the chef to the effect that the potatoes had to be like that. The included wines were not in the fine category at all - we could have bought decent wines at a price that appeared to give no allowance for the fact that wines were included in the deal - we declined this option. Overall, very poor value. The only good thing was that it was located conveniently for centre court.

Paying £26.00 per head for afternoon tea is a choice and a day out at Ladies’ final day is a bit special so it’s the sort of thing you do with the intention of enhancing the whole experience. In fact the cafe itself is nothing to write home about and the afternoon tea, though pretty good, lacked the ‘wow’ factor. Service was very attentive; the kids they get in for Wimbledon fortnight do a great job. So, anticipating a £52.00 bill, it came as a bit of a surprise to have an extra £5.20 added as ‘gratuities’. Didn’t quibble as didn’t want to embarrass our young waitress, and as she’s probably a student, hope she gets it all - but given the prices it’s a bit cheeky to say the least. On a positive final note - pleasantly surprised by the quite ‘normal’ prices at the other food outlets on-site.

We pre-booked the table for 4 of us for the lunch. I was a bit skeptical about the menu choices but apart from the starter all the rest was perfect. If you don't want wine you can have soft drinks. Great service. Nice to sit down and eat instead of looking for somewhere to sit etc

We have enjoyed lunch in the Wingfield restaurant on previous visits to the tournament and so decided to have afternoon tea today. Big disappointment! The staff were great in seating us but the very poor mediocre soggy sandwiches and two tiny flat scones left a lot to be desired. The tea was served more fast food cafe rather than in a traditional style which one would expect given the location and price charged for the afternoon tea. Four petit cakes topped the sandwich/cake stand with no detail to arrangement. All in all, very disappointing.

Whenever we've had Wimbledon tickets over the past 12 years or so we've lunched here and always thoroughly enjoyed it. This year (our first since 20216) we still enjoyed the experience and being able to sit at an outside table and watch the world go by below, but were unimpressed by a few things that have changed. Service was still friendly and paced perfectly to get us to our first match on time, but the menu options were not as appealing and, given how much the basic price has risen over the past few years, the £10 surcharge for the lobster special seemed hugely excessive for a very small portion of lobster served with a few bits of lettuce and not much else.

Having been lucky enough to have tickets for Centre Court on the first day of play, we decided to treat ourselves to an afternoon tea for two at the Wingfield Cafe at Wimbledon. We also did the same in 2018 however this year it appears cost cutting changes have happened and standards have slipped. Disappointing!

We turned up at the Wingfield Restaurant without having booked, but were treated as if we had! Seated in a comfortable waiting area, we witnessed the sheer professionalism of the reception staff [free from some apparent technical problems endured at the start of the tournament], especially Rosemarie whom constantly updated us of table availability even though we had to wait less than 30 minutes.The waitresses picked-up where she left off by providing a very friendly and reliable service from a thoroughly enjoyable 3 course, 3 choice menu. The outside table, flanked by beautiful flowers in traditional Wimbledon colours, giving an elevated view of everything going on around us was an absolute bonus.

Having secured centre court tickets for the day we decided to push the boat out and have lunch here. We were not disappointed. The setting is wonderful the food is great and the service attentive, professional and friendly. Drinks are included in the fixed price lunch and if like us you are not wine drinkers the beer or soft drinks are brought quickly to your table. Loved every moment and will book again next time we ste st the championships.

We had a great tea. Wonderfully fresh food. Delicious sandwiches and cakes. Tea is always very variable and we had a lovely tea at the ivy cafe and a fairly mundane one at the Ritz, which was 5 times the price.

Our first time at Wimbledon and we had booked The Wingfield to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Having read yesterday’s review we were nervous that we may be disappointed, but we were very pleasantly surprised. We too were booked for 11.30, arrived 15 mins early and were happy to wait that short time to be seated. All the staff were polite, smiling and welcoming. The tables were set beautifully with cream linen and purple napkins, fresh flowers, silver cutlery. We sat on the outside terrace and were served quickly by Jack who was friendly and attentive. Wine was very good and glasses topped up regularly. Food was delicious. We spent a leisurely 2 hours over lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Apparently there had been a few problems on the opening day as they had no opportunity for a dry run, so some new staff were in at the deep end and table allocation using iPads had a few gremlins. Management were determined to put things right and we certainly found little to criticise. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Tuvimos un 11. 30 reservas, tuvimos que hacer cola durante 30 minutos. Luego no se sirvió el plato principal durante 25 minutos. ¡No tenía desierto y aún así se perdió el inicio del partido inaugural con la estrella de tenis número uno del mundo! Pagamos más de 160 por el privilegio. Las disculpas son fáciles, perder el tiempo de partido es insustituible.

Disfrutamos mucho de una visita a Wimbledon, pero el café de Wingfield no alcanzó los estándares del resto de la experiencia. El problema fundamental parecía ser el de la gerencia, ya que el lugar (y el personal en particular) estaban desorganizados y parecía carecer de sentido de urgencia / atención a los detalles. Una verdadera lástima

If you think four strawberries are a portion then this is the place for you. If you don't mind waiting 15 minutes to get a coffee the this is the place for you.

Fuimos como un gran grupo de jubilados del trabajo. El museo valió la pena la visita ya que las exhibiciones son impresionantes en historia y detalle. Permita al menos una hora y media ya que hay mucho que ver. . . y si usa el teléfono guía, aprenderá aún más. El recorrido por los jardines estuvo acompañado por un guía encantador que entregó historias para todos los aspectos. El té de la tarde tenía cuatro dedos de sándwich diferentes y dos tipos de bollo con crema y mermelada. Esto fue suficiente para nuestras necesidades con un montón de café y una interesante variedad de bolsas de té. Pre ordené una versión libre de gluten sin carne que estaba lista cuando entré. Mis pasteles eran demasiado dulces y hubieran preferido bollos. Mis sándwiches eran buenos, excepto que el queso sin carne uno tenía jamón! Los otros me dijeron que su pan no era genial, blanco barato. En general, ¡un gran día fuera, un poco estropeado por los inodoros de mujeres que se quedan sin papel higiénico! Para mi esto es un no no y nunca debería suceder.

Después de esta gira en Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum, nos fuimos a tomar una taza de café y un brunch a la cafetería Wingfield, casi adyacente. Lugar agradable y espacioso, pocas personas ese día, con una buena variedad de ensaladas, usted solicita en qué consisten, buenos postres, pasteles y croissants, sándwiches recién hechos, mesas grandes para sentarse y limpiar. Personal muy amable, precios asequibles.

Excellent selection, service and value. Yes we went in March when cold/raining but value good and quality service. We were planning to go and eat outside, expecting high prices, but clearly aimed at local members/public that have a choice. Best tea I've had in years, see through tea pot and leaf not bag! but still good price.

El café está situado dentro de la entrada principal, pero se puede acceder por separado a otras excursiones, etc. Un entorno agradable y limpio, pero la elección de la comida fue decepcionante y todo muy caro. Tomó un tiempo para ser servido, pero el personal lo suficientemente amable. Espero que aumenten las cosas cuando los eventos están en marcha! !

went to Wingfield for lunch - service was good. Limited menu choice. Food piping hot. Unusual recipe for the lasagne - not unpleasant but unexpected. Shame about the salad as appeared 'tired' - this was an addition and wish I didn't have it.

No puedes visitar Wimbledon sin tomar el peso en el Wingfield.

Delicious afternoon tea while the Ladies singles final was being played on Centre Court. Great service (no pun!!), lovely food and fantastic atmosphere.

Fuimos a la Wingfield para celebrar mi cumpleaños, mi marido. Era un menú pero buenas opciones y comida realmente encantador. Estaba lleno y me pareció que el servicio no podría ser demasiado bien, pero era excelente. Fue un día especial y el restaurante añadir a ella.

Wonderful lunch. Wonderful service. No day at Wimbledon is complete without lunching at The Wingfield. Waited on by young friendly students who make the experience worthwhile by making everyone feel special. Food beatifillu presented and a constant flow of wine. Well worth the money!

There is little option in this area, but fear not, this cafe offers a good range of decent food. And despite being inside Wimbledon tennis club, it’s very fairly priced.

After traveling for about 90 minutes to reach Wimbledon, we needed a coffee to be ready for the tour. This was a perfect place inside the premise. You can get burgers there. Coffee was good. Service was prompt.

the cafe tells visitors it is open until 5.30pm, that is what we read and thought we would get food at 3pm. this is not true, we could have tea and cake but nothing savoury, nothing hot at all. i feel they should tell people about this before they plan their day. we were very disappointed when they told us and it put a damper on the day.

Came here 22nd October, went for cream tea.had 2 scones,jam,clotted cream and a pot of tea.only £3.90, which is pretty good value for Wimbledon.the main courses looked nice but they were expensive i thought.

The Wingfield is the only pre-bookable restaurant at Wimbledon and payment is made upfront before you visit. The menu is set with a limited choice but something to suit most. We had to queue for a short while before being shown to our table but it was worth the wait. The staff were very polite & friendly - happy to have a little chat at the table. The service was efficient. The food was elegantly presented and tasted fab! Wine ( white, red & rose) is included with lunch and it flowed freely. It really was a nice treat to have such a lovely leisurely lunch before our afternoon of tennis and would definitely think of doing this again if we visit Wimbledon. Later in the day, we had a picnic cool-bag which we had also pre-ordered and this was also great! Wimbledon sure know how to feed & please their visitors - highly recommended.

Comida maravillosa! Mucho mejor de lo que yo esperaba en una atracción, pero una vez más, este es Wimbledon. Hay mucha variedad y, aunque caro, la comida es simplemente impresionante y el servicio es estupendo para semejante lugar. La decoración es preciosa y las bebidas son estupendas. Sin duda volveré a este restaurante si buscas algo para comer mientras que en Wimbledon!

Pleased to see the cafe open even though there were not many people about. Friendly staff and not overly expensive. Although there are steps to the cafe, and lift is available for disabled people.

Una excursión de todo el club de tenis de Inglaterra por la mañana. Museo de tenis en la tarde. Así dónde comer?

Maybe it's just me but I cannot see why you would go to watch the tennis and not start your day by having a wonderful meal here beforehand !!!

Vine aquí para el almuerzo después de la excursión (que fue fantástico! Y las primeras impresiones fueron buenas. Un bonito café relajado con un montón de asientos al aire libre. Tenía el pollo, aguacate y bacon sandwich y sopa del día - espárragos. Sopa parecía fresco y estaba bastante bien, pero el pan se sirve con fue el rock duro - debe haber sido cortada en rodajas algunas horas antes y a la izquierda. Sándwich era absolutamente insípido y, de nuevo, el pan estaba rancio. Cabe esperar algo tan básico para ser hecho justo y sus capacidades de preparación deja mucho que desear. Recomiendo encarecidamente la excursión y aunque museo!

Fuimos aquí como parte de un paquete exclusivo de excursión.

My husband and I booked the restaurant for a day at wimbledon we paid for a set menu in advance...

Este restaurante es una gran parte de la experiencia de Wimbledon. Es una proeza conseguir únicamente una mesa como reservar tan pronto como se consiga entradas y tienes que pagar £75 por cabeza por anticipado en el momento de efectuar la reserva. Comimos aquí antes...

This was our first visit to Wimbledon and we managed to get tickets in the ballot for Centre Court, so we decided to do the full Wimbledon experience and reserved a table at the Wingfield. We were impressed with the way they kept you informed of earlier opening time due to an earlier start on Centre Court. We were warmly greeted and shown to our table quickly and attentively. The waitress was very good, pleasant and professional. We felt we were the only people she was serving. The food was good and we were served quickly but not rushed. The only issue was our table was outside and near the blinds and when it rained it became a little wet. However, they soon moved our table in order to protect us from the rain. If you want to make your day even more special then I would recommend booking the Wingfield for lunch. Although a little pricey it was well worth it to add to such a great experience at Wimbledon.

This made a wonderful day out at Wimbledon. Very slick efficient service and a well presented, tasteful meal. We joined the queue at 11.30 and were seated by 11.45am.The young staff were very attentive and we had a wonderful experience. Thank you Wingfield Restaurant.

This was the perfect place for pre-tennis dinner. On arrival we were warmly greeted and taken straight to our reserved table. The contemporary restaurant was light, comfortable and clean. The tables are a little close together but this adds to the friendly yet respectful charm of the All England Tennis Club. The server was attentive and the chef extremely accommodating of my food allergies. Our all-inclusive three course dinner was very well plated, of good size and well seasoned despite the large size of the restaurant and the high throughput. Overall a good value and attentive experience. Thank you to the manager and Stefano who kindly assisted me during my visit. Much appreciated.

Arrived at 11.30 and people had been queuing since 10.45, not sure that is really warranted. Service is very efficient. We had a perfectly acceptable table outside. The wine which is included in the price was nice. We both had the prawns which were a little chewy. I had asked if the beef could be well done, it arrived medium rare. It was simpler to change to the cod which was very nice. This is mass catering so personalised requests are not possible. My oth really enjoyed his beef. A nice lunch to start the day, not sure that I would do it again though. Must be said given where it is, it is good value at £75 per head including service.

I was lucky enough to get Wimbledon tickets in the ballot and when the information came out the The Wingfield Restaurant information came with the tickets, I decided to book a table for 11.30 am. The seating and service were very efficient and friendly, the food was very good. I can't fault any part of the meal, you pay for the meal upfront, which means that they can focus on the service rather than having to deal with sorting the bill. The drinks were complimentary, and overall it was a great experience to start off a wonderful day. I would recommend if you are attending Wimbledon and you want to have a meal before the matches get into the flow, this is an excellent option. Lastly, I thought it was good value for money, considering where is it and the tournament that is taking place.

Excellent food court. It has very decent food items and very reasonably priced. Salads and patice are good to enjoy.

The restaurant serves everything from soup to desserts, and has a warm nice touch to it.It is modern yet has friendly ambience. Will recommend to visit and experience.

With the general cost of going to tennis championships at Wimbledon these days, in my opinion there's absolutely no point in fighting the masses for something to eat from the food hall. The ONLY way to go is to eat a lovely relaxed lunch at the Wingfield Restaurant. The quality of the food and wines served is first rate and the excellent staff they employ each year are all efficient and polite.A first rate experience to set you up for a lovely day watching the tennis.

Had lunch in July during the Wimbledon fortnight as a birthday gift the food was good and wine but I thought it was over priced. I definitely wouldn't return each year if I was lucky enough to get tickets for Wimbledon

We ate here during the ladies finals day and whilst the ‘stairs’ open about 11.15, the doors don’t open until 11.30 and there is limited seating so don’t rush up to queue. Saying that, if you want a seat at beside the window watching Wimbledon go by (guessing who has money and who hasn’t!) then get there early and queue! By default, as we didn’t know, we did and got a great seat by the window doing just that. The band was playing downstairs and you are facing the champagne bar so it’s a lovely spot. We enjoyed our food (beef) and the service was great and prepaid so that was handy. The wine. Flowed!! No issues at all and we had quite a bit finished off with a lovely half bottle of champagne with a cute little tennis cooler on it. Strawberry and blackberry dessert was delicious as you can imagine.Thoroughly recommended.

We were foutunate enough to get tennis tickets and decided to splash out on a meal in Wingfields. There is a set menu with numerous choices and wine included. The food is wonderful and the service excellent.

This restaurant was included in our tickets package for Wimbledon on the day of the ladies quarter final Lovely atmosphere with everyone enjoying themselves. 3 course meal and unlimited wine - or so it would seem on the day lolService was super and our waitress was perfect and extremely polite and efficientFood. Smokers salmon and chicken terrineSmoked salmon was a large portion and very tasty chicken terrine there was just enough. Looked very elegant on the plate as it was presentedShropshire beef and jerk chicken salad for mains. Both delicious and right sized portionsStrawberries and blueberries and cherry tart for pudding. Not struck on the cherry tart as it was rather dry. Fruit was nice thoughAll in all very good. Wine was great too!!

The set lunch that is available during the tournament fortnight is an absolute delight. There were several choices for each course, all of which are presented beautifully. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. Champagne is included and was refilled quickly. It is quite a quick turnaround but that is so not to delay your tennis viewing. The afternoon tea was equally delicious.

One of our friends had her 80th birthday tea here as a private booking. Great cakes, strawberries (of course!) and scones. Good value too I gather @ <£10 pp. Open for the 'general public' too for lunch/tea outside Championship times.

The Wingfield is the only pre-bookable restaurant at the All England Club. Lunches are served from 11.30, to ensure that you can take your seats on one of the show courts in plenty of time for the first ball to be struck. There are several choices for each course on the fixed-price table d'hôte menu, and all of those chosen by my partner and I were absolutely first-rate. Wine is included (and one's glass is repeatedly and generously refilled by the ever-attentive staff). The service, too, is excellent: highly efficient and courteous. For the number of covers this restaurant serves at every meal, the overall quality is nothing short of miraculous. I highly recommend adding a meal at the Wingfield to your plans for a day at the Championships.

Ótimo lugar dentro do complexo para um lanche ou almoço. Ao chegar tomamos um café e após a visita fizemos um bom lanche. Preço justo e atendimento de qualidade!!!

Quando visitar Wimbledon, é a opção para fazer refeições... é uma cafeteria, mas é praticamente um restaurante... os preços podem ser um pouco salgados, mas condizentes com a ambientação...
