Mayfields, Wilton Way: Go, While You Still Can (You Have a Week)
This is the briefest review that I have ever written but it really just a quick heads up for all you Londoners. Mayfields in Wilton Way is closing on Saturday 27th. It is a terrific restaurant and has had nothing but rave reviews. The food (from Matthew Young ex Wapping Project) is smart, flavourful and very creative. The room is bustling, run brilliantly by Clare Roberson (ex Shacklewell Nights), the wine list (from Borough Wines) is eclectic and very affordable. When I heard it was closing I booked twice, and this speedy post is a review of those visits, and to urge you to go, while you still can. It is a reminder too for all of us that we need to support great restaurants, especially local ones, or we will lose them. These photos are from my first meal last week. Must orders: lemon sole & grouse and not pictured from last night the mushroom, egg yolk, orange & seaweed; raw razor clams; chocolate mousse and octopus with lardo and dill bobby beans.

Any idea where Matthew Young is off to next?
Not yet, but I will but watching out for him.
Agree how great Mayfields is/was, do you know why they are closing? It seems so sudden.
Hi Samantha. You would have to ask them really. You still have a few days to go and enjoy one last meal there :)
