Wimbledon 2023: Where to Eat & Drink Nearby

With all that to-ing and fro-ing of the head, spectating at Wimbledon can work up quite the appetite. Strawberries and cream is a classic, but make sure you book one of these top dining spots in the area for something a little more substantial to round off the perfect day out at the tennis. Here are the best restaurants in Wimbledon.

Best Restaurants in Wimbledon

Sticks’n’Sushi

This popular sushi and yakitori restaurant is a firm favourite with fashionable SW19 residents. Feast on signature ‘sticks’ – pork with miso, chicken meatballs, teriyaki salmon – alongside sashimi and salads, and be sure to finish with the special Wimbledon-themed dessert: a matcha and white chocolate pannacotta with a strawberry and Pimm’s reduction.

The Alexandra

The Alexandra is all about getting involved in the festivities surrounding the biggest sporting event on the British calendar. With special themed drinks and classic British dishes, it’s a great place to pop into pre or post-match.

The Ivy Cafe

Head to Wimbledon’s Ivy outpost for stylish all-day dining (and drinking) done right. The weekend brunch is legendary and just the energy boost you need ahead of the action on Centre Court, especially when paired with a few refreshing Ivy Bloody Marys.

Thai Tho

Serena Williams once called this her favourite restaurant in Wimbledon Village and Maria Sharapova was a regular – and that’s pretty much enough said. After all, there is nothing quite like a tangy and comforting Pad Thai after a long day of running around on the court (or simply watching it).

The Rose and Crown

Just a short walk from the madness of Henman Hill, The Rose & Crown is where it’s at during the Championships. Every year they set up a large marquee bar which plays music until late for the duration of Wimbledon, and with large screens and a buzzing atmosphere, it’s the best place to go if you didn’t manage to bag tickets.

Maison St Cassien

This Lebanese and Mediterranean café and restaurant is right in the middle of Wimbledon Village and perfectly placed for people watching. Andy Murray and Maria Sharapova are among many tennis champions who have popped in for a chicken shawarma and tabbouleh.

The Fox & Grapes

A charming British gastropub which serves classics with a twist, and has won awards for its efforts. There are even rooms upstairs if your celebrations (of a British win?) get rowdier than anticipated.

Hemingways

Wimbledon’s favourite cocktail bar for when you want to experiment with something other than Pimm’s. Nab a street table if you can and soak up the last of the sun as you sip on English garden-inspired cocktails. The Forget-Me-Not tastes just like a British summer’s evening, and regular live music and open mic nights jazz up the atmosphere.
