Wulf & Lamb Belgravia London Review: The Sloane Square Vegan Restaurant That Quietly Outclasses the Trend

Wulf & Lamb Belgravia sits tucked along the cobbled curve of Pavilion Road, a few steps north of Sloane Square, and after a long, careful sit-down spread across two visits we feel comfortable saying this: it is one of the best all-day plant-based restaurants in central London, a genuine neighbourhood vegan kitchen with the polish of Belgravia and the warmth of a proper local. Our Wulf and Lamb review covers the burgers (yes, the famous seitan one), the mac and cheese, the small but considered wine list, the courtyard seating, accessibility, the head chef’s pedigree (he came up under Andrew Dargue at Vanilla Black), and how it compares with other London vegan stalwarts such as Mildred’s Soho and Mallow Borough Market.

About this review. This is an independent London Reviews appraisal of Wulf & Lamb, 243 Pavilion Road, Belgravia, London SW1X 0BP. We dined twice (one weekday lunch, one Saturday brunch), paid our own bill on both occasions, and were not gifted hospitality. The piece focuses on a Belgravia diner deciding whether Wulf and Lamb Pavilion Road is worth the walk from Sloane Square, but it should also serve anyone planning a relaxed plant-based meal on the King’s Road, in Chelsea, or as a stop-off between Sloane Street shopping and Hyde Park.

Why we’re reviewing Wulf & Lamb Belgravia

We have spent the last eighteen months working our way through the London vegan map. We have praised the bombastic small plates of Mallow at Borough Market, the precision plates of Plates Shoreditch, the rich Italian flavours of Purezza Camden, and the comfort cooking of Mildred’s Soho. What we kept hearing, from readers and from chef friends, was a steady drumbeat asking us to write about Wulf and Lamb Belgravia. Sloane Square has not historically been thought of as a vegan destination, yet here is a 100% plant-based restaurant that has been quietly feeding the postcode since 2017, predating most of the new wave. It deserved a proper, thorough sit-down review rather than a single Saturday brunch impression, so that is exactly what we did.

What we wanted to test, specifically, was three things. First, whether the food has kept up with the wider improvements in plant-based cooking since 2017, given how much faster the field has moved than the traditional restaurant world. Second, whether the Belgravia setting (a quietly affluent crowd, a higher rent than Borough or Hammersmith) is reflected in pricing that justifies itself. Third, whether the place still feels welcoming to a casual vegan diner in trainers rather than only to the Pavilion Road locals who arrive in cashmere coats and pushchairs the price of small cars.

Location and Getting There

Wulf & Lamb Pavilion Road occupies number 243 of a stretch that locals call the “Pavilion Road village” — a cobbled, slightly hidden parade of artisan shops, bakeries (the original Bread Ahead is around the corner), butchers and one-off independents that runs north from Sloane Square. The setting matters because it shapes the whole experience: you arrive on foot, on a quiet pedestrian-friendly mews, and the dining room feels like a continuation of that calmer pace rather than a destination perched on a main road.

The simplest approach is Sloane Square Underground station on the District and Circle lines. From the exit, turn right along Sloane Square, then take the first right onto Pavilion Road. The walk takes three minutes at a normal pace. If you are coming from west London the District line is the quickest direct option. From Bank or Liverpool Street, change at Embankment for the Circle line and you arrive in around twenty minutes.

From a National Rail point of view, Victoria station is around a ten-minute walk south-east via Eaton Square. If you are arriving by Gatwick Express, this is the natural choice, and it is often the better-tempered route on a Sunday when the District line is slower. Knightsbridge station on the Piccadilly line is also walkable in about twelve minutes if you fancy approaching via Sloane Street and the back of Harrods.

By bus, the Sloane Square cluster is busy in your favour. Routes 11, 19, 22, 137, 170, 211, 319 and 360 all stop within three minutes of the front door, which is excellent for accessibility and for late Sunday evenings when the night tube doesn’t run on these lines. The 360 in particular, looping between Elephant & Castle and Royal Albert Hall via Pimlico and Sloane Square, is a discreetly useful crosstown route worth remembering.

If you prefer cycling, Santander Cycle racks line Sloane Square itself, and a dedicated low-traffic neighbourhood scheme means Pavilion Road is calmly bikeable. There is no obvious car parking at the restaurant; this is firmly walking-shoes territory, not a valet destination. Black cabs and Ubers happily stop on Sloane Square or at the top of Pavilion Road but cannot pull up to the front door because the road is partly pedestrianised.

First Impressions and Atmosphere

The first thing you notice walking up to Wulf & Lamb is how unforced it feels. The frontage is small, painted a soft dusty pink that has weathered nicely, with a few outdoor tables on the cobbles and a generous window box of herbs and seasonal planting. It looks more like a smart neighbourhood café than a destination vegan restaurant, and that understatement is, we suspect, deliberate.

Inside the room is intimate. The ground floor seats roughly twenty-two on a mix of two-tops and a long banquette that runs along one wall. Marble tabletops, brushed brass detailing, blonde wood flooring and a copper bar create a palette that is current without screaming “Instagram backdrop”. A second small dining room sits upstairs and feels softer and quieter — better for a date, slightly less practical if you are sharing several small plates and want the waiters to circulate freely.

Behind the building there is a paved courtyard with a single palm tree, tucked terracotta planters and seasonal heaters. Whoever planned that little outdoor space deserves credit; on a sunny Saturday it is one of the genuinely lovely places to sit in central London for under twenty pounds a head. The whole venue is dog-friendly, and on both our visits we counted at least three quiet, well-behaved labradors lying contentedly under tables. Belgravia is fundamentally a dog neighbourhood, and Wulf & Lamb leans into that without it ever feeling chaotic.

The volume sits at a civilised mid-level. There is gentle music — on our first visit a Nick Drake/Bon Iver/Khruangbin playlist; on our second something more upbeat that managed not to drown out conversation. Servers move quickly without rushing tables, and we never felt watched or hovered over. It is the sort of place where two friends can sit for ninety minutes over a single dessert without anyone looking pointedly at the door.

The Kitchen: Chef and Philosophy

The kitchen is run by Franco Casolin, who joined Wulf & Lamb after a substantial run as a senior chef under Andrew Dargue at Vanilla Black, the long-loved Took’s Court vegetarian fine-dining room that closed in the years following the pandemic. Casolin’s CV matters because Vanilla Black was, for over a decade, the most technically ambitious vegetarian restaurant in the country — a kitchen that took pickling, fermenting, foraging, smoking and gel work seriously when the wider scene was still satisfied with grilled halloumi. You can read that influence directly in his Wulf & Lamb cooking: there is restraint, a real respect for vegetables in their own right, and a confident hand with acidity and salt that lifts dishes which could otherwise feel heavy.

The stated philosophy is “kind comfort food”. The owners are clear that they do not want to be a clinical health-food canteen, and they do not want to write a manifesto on the menu. They want food that vegans can eat because they are vegan, that omnivores can eat because they are hungry, and that no one feels lectured about. That sounds like marketing but in practice it is held to: there is no green-smoothie virtue-signalling, no calorie counts on the menu, no piety about ingredients. Just an opening line — “100% plant-based since 2017” — and then the food.

Sourcing is local where it is sensible. Bread is from Bread Ahead, around the corner. Seitan is made in-house from organic British wheat. Mushrooms come from Smithy Mushrooms in Lancashire. Tofu is from The Tofoo Co. in Yorkshire. Wine and beer leans heavily on independent UK and European vegan producers. The team is not aggressive about food miles, but they are obviously thoughtful about which battles to pick.

The Menu: What to Expect

The menu is short by London standards. There are around six starters or small plates, eight or nine mains (a few of which are burgers), four sides, four desserts and a small but well-judged kids’ section. The format is deliberately stable through the year with seasonal specials rotated in via a single chalkboard. This is not a tasting-menu restaurant; the strength is consistency.

Starters. We tested four. The roasted celeriac with smoked almond cream and pickled pear (£8.95) was the standout — earthy, sweet-sour, properly seasoned. The miso aubergine (£8.50) is fully plated rather than a single skewer, with sesame and a bracing pickled cucumber on the side. The smoked beetroot tartare (£9.50) arrives glossy and beetroot-coloured with capers, dill and toasted rye on the side. A “salt and pepper tofu” small plate (£7.95) was punchy and crisp without the gluey batter that often plagues this dish elsewhere.

The burgers. The Wulf Burger (£14.95) remains the calling card. It is a seitan patty, properly browned on the flat top, with vegan cheddar, baby gem, beef tomato, red onion, pickle and cashew aioli in a soft brioche. The patty has a snap that mimics the crust of a smashed beef burger without resorting to a Beyond-style product. The Mexican Burger (£15.50) is a black-bean patty with chipotle, smashed avocado and tomatillo salsa — more rustic in texture, more fun if you like a wet burger. The Lamb Burger (£15.95), confusingly named, uses a marinated mushroom and lentil patty with mint yoghurt; it is the most divisive of the three, mostly because the lentil mix can come slightly soft in the middle.

Larger plates. The Mac ‘N’ Cheese (£13.95) is the other house signature: a deep, glossy cashew-and-nutritional-yeast sauce over rigatoni, finished under the salamander so the top forms a real crust. Their sticky maple seitan ribs with slaw and skinny fries (£17.95) is the most full-on comfort plate on the menu — generous, sticky, salty-sweet, and at the upper end of what you can reasonably eat in a sitting. A Sunday roast (Sundays only, £18.95) features a stuffed seitan “joint”, proper roasties, kale, glazed parsnips, Yorkshire pudding and a glossy gravy that is the equal of most omnivorous Sunday roasts in the area.

Sides. Skinny fries (£4.50), truffle-and-Parmesan-style fries (£6.50, with vegan Parm), house slaw (£4.95), and a green salad with maple-mustard dressing (£5.95). The truffle fries are excellent and probably over-ordered; expect to share.

Desserts. The peanut butter brownie (£7.95) is the dessert most often photographed and for good reason — a square of dense brownie under a peanut butter ganache, salted caramel sauce and a knob of vegan vanilla ice cream that holds its shape. The sticky toffee pudding (£8.50) is a respectful version of the British classic with a date sponge and a toffee sauce thickened with oat cream rather than dairy. A lighter option is the lemon-and-thyme polenta cake (£7.50), which is grown-up, gluten-free and quietly excellent with an espresso.

Brunch. Until 4pm at weekends and noon on weekdays, the brunch menu offers a Full English (£14.95) with seitan sausage, smoked tempeh bacon, scrambled tofu, hash, beans, grilled tomato and mushrooms. There is also avocado on sourdough (£10.95), an açaí bowl (£9.95), pancakes (£10.50) and a coconut yoghurt parfait. The Full English is, in our view, one of the best vegan versions in central London — better than the ones at Farmacy or Redemption, and matched only by Mildred’s.

Wine, Cocktails and Drinks

The drinks list is short and entirely vegan. There are six wines by the glass (around £7.50–£10), with bottles from £29 upwards, and a small champagne and Prosecco selection. We were sent a copy of the spring 2026 list and were pleased to see proper minimal-intervention winemakers represented: an unoaked Picpoul de Pinet from the Languedoc, a textured Vermentino from Sardinia, an organic Pinot Noir from the Pays d’Oc, and a juicy Beaujolais-Villages from Domaine Lapierre’s wider stable. House cocktails (£11–£13) include a passion-fruit-and-elderflower spritz, a coconut espresso martini, and a smoked maple old fashioned built around a bourbon-style oat distillate.

The non-alcoholic list is properly considered, which is rarer than it should be in 2026. There is an in-house lemonade with rosemary and grapefruit, a kombucha rotation from Soma in Hackney, oat-milk matcha lattes (Lalani & Co tea), and a brilliant alcohol-free sparkling Riesling-style from Leitz. Coffee is from Square Mile, and the milk default is barista oat — they will switch to soya, almond, hemp or hazelnut on request, all of them properly textured rather than thin and split.

Service of drinks is calm. On our weekday lunch the wine glass was refilled once without being asked and once with the question “another?” — exactly the right balance. We were also pleased to see that bottled water (still and sparkling) is £2.50 a glass and arrives without prompting on tap; they are not in the racket of upselling £5 imported bottles.

Pricing and Value for Money

By London plant-based standards, Wulf & Lamb sits in the comfortable middle: more expensive than a fast-casual room like The Vurger Co or What the Pitta, broadly comparable with Mildred’s and Mallow, and noticeably cheaper than the tasting menus at Plates Shoreditch or Tendril Mayfair. Belgravia rents are real, and we think the price points are honest rather than padded.

Order Item Price
Brunch for one (table) Full English + oat-milk flat white + still water £19.65
Quick lunch Wulf Burger + skinny fries + house lemonade £23.40
Solo dinner Celeriac starter + Mac ‘N’ Cheese + a glass of Picpoul £30.40
Dinner for two (mid) Two starters, two mains, one side, half-bottle of red, two waters £74.80
Dinner for two (full) Two starters, two mains, one side, two desserts, bottle of wine, two cocktails £128.50
Sunday roast for two Two Sunday roasts, a starter, two glasses of Pinot Noir, a brownie to share £76.40
Family of four Two adult mains, two kids’ meals, four soft drinks, two desserts £85.20

Service is a discretionary 12.5%. We did not feel any pressure to add more. Card-only payment, which is universal in Belgravia now, and a small but visible note on the menu that staff receive the full service charge — increasingly the norm in London and worth noting.

Platform-by-platform Review Analysis

We tend to read every public platform before forming our own opinion. Wulf & Lamb Pavilion Road is a useful case study because the platforms broadly agree on the strengths but differ on the weaknesses.

Google. Around 4.5 out of 5 from roughly 700 reviews at the time of writing. The praise clusters on the burgers, the brunch, the courtyard, and the friendliness of front-of-house. The criticisms cluster on three things: queues for tables on a sunny weekend; saltiness on a small number of dishes (the ribs in particular split opinion); and pricing relative to the casual room you sit in.

TripAdvisor. Roughly 4.3 out of 5 across both the Pavilion Road and Marylebone sites. The reviewer base skews slightly older and slightly more demanding around service formality, which produces a small number of one-star reviews complaining that the room is “too casual for the prices”. We disagree with that framing but understand it.

OpenTable. 4.5 out of 5 from around 900 verified diners. The categorisation scores are interesting: food 4.6, service 4.6, ambience 4.4, value 4.2. The slightly lower value score is consistent with what we saw and is a fair flag to give readers in advance.

HappyCow. Both London sites are listed as among the city’s most-reviewed vegan rooms. The community there is informed and tough, and Wulf & Lamb holds a strong rating, with particular praise for the Sunday roast and the depth of dessert work.

Time Out, Hot Dinners, Hardens, DesignMyNight. Print and online write-ups have been broadly positive since the 2017 opening, with Hot Dinners noting that the Sloane Square arrival was a “rare proper vegan room in Belgravia”; DesignMyNight calling out the courtyard as one of central London’s nicest hidden outdoor spaces; and Time Out keeping it on their plant-based London shortlist.

Reddit and Substack. The London vegan community on Reddit (r/veganuk and r/london) consistently recommends Wulf & Lamb to visitors looking for an “everyday” plant-based meal rather than a tasting menu. A small set of food-writing Substacks (we read four for this review) reach the same conclusion: not the city’s most ambitious vegan restaurant, but one of the most reliable.

What Diners Love Most

  1. The Wulf Burger. A genuine candidate for best vegan burger in central London. The patty has texture and snap, the brioche holds together, the aioli and sauerkraut lift rather than smother. It is the one dish that almost everyone orders at least once and that most repeat visitors come back for.
  2. The Mac ‘N’ Cheese. Comfort food done with technical care. The crust under the salamander is critical and the kitchen gets it right consistently. Cheese-free cheese sauce is a hard thing to make taste like cheese; this one tastes like it ought to.
  3. The brunch. The Full English is hearty without being a parody. The pancakes are fluffy rather than dense. The hash is properly crisp, not greasy. For a brunch in Belgravia at under £20 a head with a coffee, it is excellent value.
  4. The courtyard. On a sunny day it is one of the loveliest small outdoor dining spaces in central London. There is no other vegan restaurant in the SW1 postcode with a similar back garden. It books up fast in summer.
  5. The dessert menu. Vegan desserts often disappoint, especially the chocolate end of the menu. The peanut butter brownie and the sticky toffee pudding here both pass the “would-you-order-this-again-if-it-weren’t-vegan” test.
  6. The service. Warm, attentive without hovering, and full of useful suggestions. Staff are happy to talk you through the menu and clearly know the food. The team has notably low turnover by London standards, which shows.
  7. Dog-friendliness. Few central London restaurants properly welcome dogs at table. Wulf & Lamb does, with water bowls, no fuss, and a calm tolerance that means even nervous dogs settle quickly. For a neighbourhood spot in Belgravia this matters.
  8. The “non-vegan friendliness”. The single most repeated review line is some version of “I’m not vegan and I loved it”. The kitchen does not lecture or apologise. The food simply is what it is, and that confidence makes converts.

Areas for Consideration

  1. Saltiness on a small number of dishes. The sticky maple seitan ribs in particular ride the edge. We loved them on our first visit and found them too salty on the second. If you are salt-sensitive, ask the server which dishes in the day’s batch are heavier-handed; they will tell you honestly.
  2. Pricing relative to setting. The room is casual; the prices are not. For some diners (and a fraction of OpenTable reviewers) the gap between “marble tabletop neighbourhood café” and “£15 burger” feels off. We think the food earns its price, but it is fair to flag.
  3. No bookings for groups over six. Wulf & Lamb is not built for large parties. Tables for six are the practical cap. If you are planning a birthday for eight, the upstairs room can sometimes be reserved as a soft-private space, but the team will be clear that you’ll need to call.
  4. Weekend queues. On a sunny Saturday brunch you can wait twenty to forty minutes if you arrive without a booking. Book ahead on SevenRooms for any weekend lunch from 12pm onwards.
  5. Upstairs without a lift. The lower dining room and the WC are step-free, but the upstairs room is up a staircase only. Wheelchair users and those with mobility needs will want to specify the ground floor when booking. The team is helpful on the phone about this.
  6. Card-only payment. This will not bother most readers, but it is worth flagging if you prefer to pay in cash; the till will politely decline.

Who is it Best For?

✅ Brilliant for:

  • Vegans and omnivores eating together where you want everyone to actually enjoy themselves.
  • Post-King’s-Road shopping lunches with a dog under the table.
  • Weekend brunch dates without the queue politics of Soho.
  • Sunday lunch with a Sunday roast that holds its own against the better gastropubs.
  • Solo diners — counter seating at lunch is welcoming.
  • Younger families: the kids’ menu is genuinely thought-through, not a tacked-on pasta tomato sauce.
  • Anyone visiting Sloane Square who is tired of the same three chains around the station.

⚠️ Less ideal for:

  • Large group celebrations (over eight).
  • Formal business dinners or expense-account theatre nights.
  • Quiet candlelit anniversaries where a tasting-menu room (try Plates Shoreditch or Gauthier Soho) suits better.
  • Diners who want extensive wine flights or a sommelier-led night.
  • Visitors who can’t manage a staircase if the ground floor is already full.

How it Compares to Other London Vegan Restaurants

Restaurant Style Dinner for two with wine Best for Our score
Wulf & Lamb Belgravia Plant-based comfort food £75–£128 Neighbourhood vegan dining 4.4 / 5
Mildred’s Soho Modern vegan kitchen, global menu £70–£110 Pre-theatre vegan dinner 4.5 / 5
Plates Shoreditch Plant-based tasting menu £200–£260 Special occasions, fine dining 4.7 / 5
Mallow Borough Market Plant-based small plates £70–£100 Borough Market lunch £70–£100 – Borough Market lunch 4.4 / 5
Farmacy Notting Hill Plant-based “wellness” dining £90–£130 West London brunch 4.2 / 5

The clearest peer to Wulf & Lamb is Mildred’s Soho — same casual-to-mid-range positioning, same broad audience, same emphasis on welcoming non-vegans. Mildred’s wins on energy and variety; Wulf & Lamb wins on calm and on burgers. For a small plates date, Mallow is the more current pick. For a proper occasion, Plates Shoreditch is in a different league of ambition (and price).

How to Book and Insider Tips

Reservations run through SevenRooms via the wulfandlamb.com website. The booking system is generous: you can book up to four months ahead and modify your reservation up to two hours before. For weekend brunch and Sunday roast we strongly recommend booking; for a weekday lunch a walk-in is usually fine.

A few insider tips from our two visits:

  • Book for 11.30am on Saturday if you want the courtyard. It is the sweet spot before the long-brunch crowd arrives and after the early-coffee crowd leaves.
  • Ask for the courtyard at booking, not on arrival. The team will do their best to accommodate but cannot guarantee it without a note.
  • Try the brunch on a weekday morning if you want the calmest, most considered version of the kitchen. The team has more time, the food comes out faster, and the room is at its loveliest light.
  • Share the truffle fries. They are a side; treat them like one. Solo, the regular fries are the better order.
  • If you are an omnivore visiting for the first time, order the Wulf Burger plus a starter to share with your dining companion. It is the simplest route into the menu.
  • Save room for the brownie. Skip a side if you must; do not skip the dessert.
  • Coffee after dinner is genuinely good. Square Mile beans, properly extracted, well-textured oat milk. Worth lingering with.

London Reviews Verdict

Wulf & Lamb Belgravia is the rare London vegan room that gets the basics right and then quietly delivers on the harder things. The food is generous and confident; the kitchen is technically careful without making a fuss about it; the room is calm; the service is warm. Eight years in, with Franco Casolin’s Vanilla Black-inflected technique steering the kitchen and the Mildred’s-equivalent reliability of the front of house, it has settled into being the most dependable plant-based restaurant in SW1.

It is not the most ambitious vegan restaurant in London, and it does not try to be. If you want a tasting menu with smoke and theatre, head east to Plates Shoreditch or south to Gauthier Soho. If you want bigger flavours and louder rooms, Mildred’s Soho or Mallow Borough will scratch that itch. What Wulf & Lamb offers instead is something rarer in central London: a friendly neighbourhood vegan restaurant you could comfortably visit weekly, where the food is good enough to justify the postcode and the prices, the dogs are welcome, the staff remember your usual coffee, and the courtyard out back genuinely lifts a Saturday afternoon.

We left both meals well-fed, slightly tipsy on a properly chilled glass of Picpoul and Pinot Noir, and very glad to have finally written about a quiet Belgravia mainstay that has been doing the right things for longer than most of the city’s more fashionable vegan rooms. If you live anywhere south of the river, west of the West End, or within walking distance of Sloane Square, you should already have it on your list. If you don’t, this is your sign to book.

Our overall score is 4.4 out of 5. It loses fractional points on occasional saltiness and a slight price-to-setting tension; it gains them back on consistency, courtyard charm, and the cleanest, most welcoming front-of-house in central London vegan dining.
