Reviews

A relaxed yet elevated dining experience, the team here are definitely focused on delivering not only a fine dining tasting platter but also engaging the customer in the journey of the food and wine. It was such a relaxed experience even though you are literally in the kitchen and watching how they prepare and deliver your food. The food may seem small but the flavour certainly packs a punch and if you really want yo elevate your experience then get the wine pairing and enjoy the delicate and robust flavours that it brings to the dining.

We enjoyed our evening at this unique restaurant. The tables are all laid out with a view of the kitchen and the concept of each dish and where the ingredients were sourced is explained in detail. Staff were very attentive and polite.  You do pay a high price for the freshly prepared, sustainability sourced food but in these tough times I suppose their expenses have gone up enormously. Still, expectations are high given the price.  There was nothing I wouldn't eat but some dishes were better than others for sure. We were served maybe 9 or 10 plates altogether, some just being small snacks. We also got the dry pairing which I enjoyed thoroughly. It's £4 for water.  On a critical note, I was getting full towards the end but my partner said he could have eaten more, so expect quality not quantity. I also really have to mention the chairs, were they made for people with no backside? I shuffled around feeling uncomfortable all evening. I've seen other reviews saying the music is loud and I agree, it was difficult to hear the explanations and each other even though we were sat directly next to each other. If English is your second language or you are hard of hearing, good luck.  Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant is not wheelchair accessible unfortunately.

Loved our trip to where the light gets in! Friendly staff were knowledgeable about each dish, enjoyed all of the food and a cracking settingFood: 5/5

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Food was so beautifully presented, had such an interesting story behind it and tasted unbelievable. The wine pairings were all natural wines and delicious and well thought out. Staff were what made it even better if even possible Every single member of staff came over at one point with food / wine and were so friendly and knowledgeable. We cannot wait to come again! Such a unique experience,and we were so so impressed!! A little gem! Thank you!!!

Had the honor and privilege to visit the WTLGI on Saturday, meet an exceptional staff lead by Becca including Callum the Head Chef and the Master of Deserts Jess pre choose the tasting menu which was exceptional tasty experience, with great selection of ingredients and professional cook and presentation.Food: 5/5

We went to WTLGI for our anniversary and it was fantastic. The food was excellent. Good variety of flavours to try. The staff were delightful - they explained every dish to us and were friendly and welcoming throughout. They all felt relatively equal too, which improved the experience. For example, the chefs would occasionally bring meals to us and do exactly the same explainer as the waiting on staff. No one felt like they were “beneath” any particular task.

A unique experience, from food to people. An almost perfect machine that is there to Surprise you, with local flavours that taste like the world. Every person we met, every food we have tasted was worth it  but also drinks . It's hard to describe it with words, I can only suggest you to go there and try.Food: 5/5

This place deserves every bit of its growing reputation. Innovative and fabulous food in relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The fennel posset and apple granita was my absolute favourite but I can't fault anything. I loved it.Food: 5/5

We booked WTLGI a few months ago. There is a reasonable amount of time until one usually obtains a reservation which shows the restaurant is popular. A deposit is required on booking.  On arrival we we shown to our table. We noticed all the tables/seating face the open kitchen which was a nice touch.  The tasting menu comprised of 11 courses. We got matching wines with the courses. I usually don’t do the matching wines as it is probably cheaper to get a descent bottle or two if you chose your own. The “sommelier” spoke to us about each wine. I asked a couple of questions which let’s say had vague answers. A few wines were from the well known wine area of Poland! I wouldn’t recommend the matching wines and would rather see the wine list.  The food was good to excellent. Not Michelin star quality on some courses but others were excellent. The first “pickle plate” was as what it says. Pickled veg cut into fancy ways on a plate. I could do the same if I bought a jar of pickles. The next plate, The Lobster Crumpet was excellent. Juicy Lobster on a small buttery crumpet.. delicious. Again some of the other dishes were ok to excellent. Lacking perhaps was another meat dish. The Braised Saddleback was just about good for the standard of food to expect. Maybe get rid of the Gem lettuce and replace it with a meat dish? Again the Gem lettuce was just ok. I would recommend to go for the dining experience.  One particular let down is the service. The staff did serve the tables well and were well mannered. The sommelier was obviously told what to say. Towards the end of the meal the kitchen and waiting staff went into overdrive cleaning the kitchen as though they was in a rush to get home. Standing on the surfaces to wipe down shelving all done in a military manner. It didn’t take long to clean the kitchen but I think they may have waited another 30 mins or so till everyone left. I was going to give a 3 star review but that maybe a bit harsh.  Would I go back. Probably not for a while as it’s quite expensive and there’s Michelin restaurants for the same price. But if you havn’t been then I would go.

Worth every penny.  Superb dining space playing excellent music, staff were excellent and extremely knowledgeable about the menu offered.  I was blown away by the food, every course of the 12 or so we had was outstanding, wine was also excellent paired to the menu. Some of the highlights were their own bread with mushroom ‘sauce’, lamb with donut, and mussels.  We had to book 2-3 months in advance and price wise it is expensive but both these things absolutely justified based on the overall experience.  I will 100% come back.
