Wildwood - East Cambridgeshire

The staff at Wildwood are friendly, however, the food is cooked and presented very poorly. The pizzas are basic and overly greasy, with the toppings haphazardly thrown on top of each other. Additionally, when asking for an egg to be removed from a dish, it was simply scraped off the plate, leaving fragments of egg throughout the rest of the meal. It is unfortunate as the restaurant has great potential.

I have dined at Wildwood several times and have always been satisfied. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was disappointing. The steak, at £20, was tough and full of gristle. I was surprised by the poor quality of the meat. My friend's risotto was dry and salty, and the pizzas had burnt crusts. One of my friends even had their meal forgotten and had to watch us eat before receiving their order. The service was slow, with drinks taking a long time to arrive. The tiger prawns starter was underwhelming, with only four small prawns in a pool of pink butter. For the price, I expected more. Sadly, I will not be returning to Wildwood, and neither will some of my friends.

My recent visit to Wildwood in Ely after a four-year hiatus due to Covid was disappointing. I had hoped for improvement, but unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. The risotto I ordered was the worst I have ever had - dry and lacking flavor, with a noticeable absence of cheese. One of my friends' pizzas was forgotten, although it was eventually comped. Despite being the only remaining table in the restaurant, it took a long time to settle the bill. To top it off, the affogato my friend ordered for dessert had lukewarm coffee. I have decided to not return to this restaurant and will not be giving it another chance.

Very rude and unprofessional staff for no reason (we only wanted to order dessert for children, but the staff member was extremely rude and then didn’t even let us order) Very long waiting times, with restaurant being empty. Go somewhere else.

Lovely interior. However my husband and myself were sat next to a kids play area. Balls from the ballpark area were thrown out onto the restaurant floor because no barrier to keep them in. They were near us and getting in the way of customers going to the toilets. Quite dangerous ! Food was cold and over cooked. My mushroom burger was cold, chips were overcooked and very pricey for what it was !
