This “great local restaurant” has notched up 25 years in Wimbledon Village, and “turns out far better food than you might expect from a local spot”. An “interesting menu” of Mediterranean-influenced dishes means it is frequently packed.

“Almost part of Wimbledon’s heritage nowadays!”: after a quarter of a century’s service, this local indie is a local contemporary classic, known for its “very good” Mediterranean-style food and “personable staff”. Fans say it’s “upped its game over the last year” too, although it “can struggle to cope when crowded”.

Celebrating its 25th year, “this excellent, independent neighbourhood restaurant knocks out top-class Mediterranean dishes at no more than you’d pay in a nearby pub” – in an “imaginative” culinary style that’s “not changed much over the years”. It can seem pricey, or “hit and miss”, but there’s also an argument that it’s “so underrated”.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"Absolutely lovely family lunch at one of our favourite places but tinged with sadness that this will be our last visit before they close their doors for good in the middle of February. As ever the food was delightful and the staff were even more exceptional than usual. The feel in the Light House is always really really pleasant and this Wimbledon institution is going to be sorely missed. I can now only use this review to thank the whole team for some great memories over the past 15+ years we've been going here and wish everyone involved all the very best for the future."
