Wildwood

My parents and I have been coming here weekly since they extended the eat out to help out scheme. This has provided a much needed sense of normalcy that they very much deserve after a hectic few months. The staff are what really make the restaurant. They are consistently friendly and helpful, even while working during what is definitely a stressful time for everybody. My family and I have been especially cautious during the pandemic to limit exposure and throughout the warmer weeks, we were able to sit outside, while deciding whether or not it was sensible to eat inside. Well, while we will only venture inside when there are very few (if any) people inside, on the occasions (that are becoming more frequent) that we do, we have all felt safe due to the distancing and not at all anxious or concerned. This is the only restaurant I have eaten inside of during the pandemic. The food is nice and there is a good vegan selection. There is also a really good set menu that importantly includes cheap wine, that I definitely recommend! Due to covid, they are offering takeaway options, so they have not fully shut down for lockdown. Definitely a restaurant that deserves some support!

We've been meaning to go here for ages and finally made it on a miserable Friday night. The welcome however was bright and cheerful (and this was indeed the case from every member of staff during our visit). It wasn't particularly busy when we arrived, so speed of service wasn't an issue. A look at the menu didn't particularly excite me (turkey in February? Seriously?) although that made the decision of what to choose to eat easy! When the 2 adult pizzas arrived (didnt have to wait too long) they were cooked perfectly and tasted great. The side salad was also fresh and tasty, although the dressing was more akin to a French dressing, rather than Italian. The children's meals however could do with improvement; the penne bolognese was overpowered by the taste of celery and the mini burgers were cooked well, but the buns were on the tough side. Portion size was good however. A good selection of drinks were available, including mocktails, which the children love to get involved with and a decent wines selection, so dad was happy! Deserts followed and all of them were top notch. A decent cup of tea and a nice coffee finished off the meal nicely. Service was excellent all round and the bill didn't offer any unnecessary scares or surprises, so all good there too. We will definitely go again, but perhaps just be a little more selective on child's menu choices.

Incredible customer service We had a pizza come to the table later than the rest of the meals, without having to say anything to the manager, they took the meal price off. Despite the mishap with the meal they rectified it quickly and didn’t need us to have to complain to have it sorted. It’s so refreshing to have things sorted quickly. Highly recommend.

I have walked past this place a few times before but decided to give it a try. This is a large and clean restaurant with a slightly rustic feel and vibe. Service was good and overall the food was quite good too. I will be back to try something different next time. I didn't think the chicken cesarean quite hit the spot. The chicken was excellent but in my opinion the caesar sauce was not quite right. Starter and main were very good. Expect to pay about 25 per head with drinks

This is a great restaurant, there's plenty of choice on the menu whatever your preference, starter, main or sweet. There's also a good selection of drinks. Plenty of seating inside and some outside seating. With wheelchair access. The staff are very friendly and never leaving you unattended. Well worth a visit.

We have been to Wildwood several times. The food is very good and the choices nicely varied but not overwhelming. The atmosphere is friendly and we have never been pressured to order or leave after eating. The staff are excellent and always on hand when needed. We have been as a family and as a couple and it works nicely for both. On one occasion the Director of Wildwoods operations was visiting the Letchworth site and working in the restaurant. She sat with us while we had a really good conversation about how the service was being provided and how things could be improved. That shows the sort of commitment from senior staff to getting it right for customers, which isn't seen often enough. A thoroughly excellent eating out experience.
