Both are managed by Director Jason Phillips who has worked at the Savoy, the Avenue and C London. Wiltons combines a modern philosophy of service with all that is traditionally British to create the perfect dining experience. The atmosphere is perfectly matched with the immaculately prepared wild fish, shellfish, and game in season and meat dishes sourced from the finest farms. The restaurant comprises a bar area, a main dining room divided into 3 sections and a Private Dining room named the Jimmy Mark’s Room that can also be used as additional seating for the restaurant.
