Wildwood Restaurants Canterbury

Great place with lots of gluten free and vegan options

We had a disappointing experience during our recent visit. A friend ordered a gluten-free pizza, but unfortunately, the dough was undercooked. When we raised this with the manager, Hollie, her response came across as unprofessional and passive-aggressive. She mentioned that she is gluten intolerant and eats at the restaurant regularly, insisting the dough was fine—rather than acknowledging the issue. We also had an issue with a Negroni, which was initially served with Prosecco. When it was returned, the replacement was made with only Campari. Upon pointing out that a proper Negroni should also include vermouth etc. the same manager implied that vermouth and Campari are the same, which is not accurate. On a positive note, our waitress, Odema, was lovely and very professional throughout the evening. We appreciated that our concerns were acknowledged, and both the gluten-free pizza and the incorrect drink were removed from the bill. We also appreciated that the service charge was waived.

We had a great time here for my birthday! We were staying in Canterbury for the weekend and happened to walk past, after searching the reviews we had to try it. The gluten free pizza and pasta was some of the best I’ve had. They even brought over a baked gluten free cookie with a candle in it for dessert, which was so so delicious. We had a wonderful, attentive waiter and the food arrived promptly! So good we came back the next day for lunch!
