    This place looked nice and welcoming and the staff were friendly and happy, the food was good and the prices were pretty much the same as other similar restaurants throughout the country. The one thing I really did not like was the service charge added to the bill. Not many places do this anymore, and I hate it. I usually would tip, but not after that unexpected extra charge.

    Firstly, service was very good. Quickly greeted at door and seated despite being early for our reservation. Our server (forget her name), was lovely and very helpful - had to rectify an issue with food; pizza topping was requested to be replaced, but came out with "removed" ingredient still on it, she quickly resolved this and discount applied to compensate, which was kind. Also, never spent too long with empty plates Infront of us and courses arrived at good pace.Food generally was good.Atmosphere was a busy lunchtime service that tapered off through our hour stay.Good asset to Elys dwindling restaurant offering.

    I rang to make a booking for Valentine's Day and was told that the only tables available were at pm. I said this was fine and my details were taken. On arrival at .pm, the manager informed me that my name was not on the list and he couldn't help. He went on to blame his staff member for doing the wrong thing by taking my booking. There was no attempt to make this right and I was made to feel that perhaps I hadn't made a booking at all and was chancing it. I come from Australia where customer service is key and Wildwood is sadly lacking in this area. I will never set foot in this establishment again.

    We visited here for dessert as we had previously visited elsewhere for a main meal and didn't have a very good service. The friendliness and service here was night and day compared to the other place! When we went into Wildwood we explained we only wanted a dessert and staff said that was absolutely fine and were very accomodating. Service was super quick and the desserts were really tasty. I am not sure the desserts are homemade, but for ones that I suspect are perhaps bought in or frozen, they were really good! The man who served us was professional and polite. The only downside and slight criticism which is why I have given the overall rating as stars rather than is that the desserts are quite pricey (£. and £.) and I think for that price the cheesecake could have at least come with some cream or ice-cream. On top of this there is also a % optional service charge. I do not normally pay service charges as I do not believe it is right to add that on automatically and I think tipping should be personal choice. However, we overlooked it on this occasion and paid it as we could not fault the staff or the food. Even a guy working on the bar who I passed when going to the toilet just before leaving who we'd had no interaction with previously wished us a very good evening! Really welcoming atmosphere which makes such a difference.
