This was absolutely perfect! Just as I hoped. The welcome was warm and the table was lovely and festive to walk into. The food quality was really good and I loved how the staff had clearly chosen to have fewer bookings and more quality experiences. This time of year, group meals can be so disappointing because every restaurant is like a factory, churning people through. We were able to really relax and enjoy our time together at our table. Savour each course, with a nice rest in between one. Thank you Wilmington for a wonderful end of work and start of the festive holidays.

What fantastic service. Food did not disappoint but the service was the real star of the evening - upstairs manager (they let us sit upstairs given how packed downstairs was) made the whole evening a treat.

We went to The Harrison for a Sunday roast while on a short break in London. We had the nut roast, which was absolutely amazing. The staff were friendly, yet professional, and attentive even during a very busy period. We were even given very helpful directions back to our hotel when it was time to leave. We will certainly return to The Harrison when we are next in London. A wonderful meal and afternoon.
