The Wilderness
The Wilderness is a restaurant by Alex Claridge, serving provocative, playful tasting menus in a restored factory, set to the soundtrack of rock, punk and heavy metal. Established in 2015, The Wilderness was awarded a Michelin star in 2026 and over the prior decade has attracted the eyes and awards of AA, Harden’s, SquareMeal and The Good Food Guide. Expect an ever-evolving menu for curious minds, resulting from a heady mix of anarchy, experimentation and obsession.
