The Wigmore

London, Marylebone - Modern British - Pub - ££

A centrally located watering hole with food that's worth knowing about

Overall Rating: Good

Uniqueness:Does the establishment stand out in the context of the local area? Good

Deliciousness:How delicious is the food? Good

Warmth:How warm is the service and the hospitality in general? Good

Strength of recommendation:How enthusiastically and widely would you recommend the establishment? Good

Beamed unexpectedly into the middle of the Wigmore, you might easily imagine you were in a London pub, albeit one that has been spruced and burnished to a high degree. A happy babble fills the air, there are cask ales and craft beers being quaffed all round (including the house special, Saison) and the offer extends to early-bird breakfasts and roasts on Sundays. The fact that the Wigmore is in a component organ of the conspicuously snazzy Langham Hotel, its kitchen overseen by Michel Roux Jr, is a mere background detail to the scene. The bar snacks are a noticeable cut above the norm of your average neighbourhood boozer. The focaccia comes with caponata and vegan feta, or you could plump for crispy artichoke with saffron aïoli – in acknowledgement of the instinct for something crunchy to eat with beer. Otherwise, splash out on the gooey ‘XXL stovetop toastie’, a three-cheese goodie. If you graduate to the main courses, expect roast cod with cauli...

Otherwise, splash out on the gooey ‘XXL stovetop toastie’, a three-cheese goodie. If you graduate to the main courses, expect roast cod with cauliflower and curried leeks, pearl barley risotto or braised venison with pumpkin purée and chanterelles.

Whether you're calling them a snack or a side, the fat chips showered in Bloody Mary salt are worth the asking price, and nobody will baulk at cinnamon-spiced cheesecake with prune and apple compôte to finish. If you're more grape than grain, fear not. There's a decent showing of wines by the glass, with crisp whites and full-throttle reds adding to the gaiety.
