Light House
The Light House opened in 1999 to great critical acclaim and has gone from strength to strength ever since. Now well established as a friendly, neighbourhood restaurant with a modern, international menu and an inspiring selection of wines. The friendly, professional service contributes to its well-deserved reputation as one of the best places to eat in South West London.

We now have air-conditioned dining too! Our lunch set menu during Friday and Saturday is 18.95 for two courses and 22.95 for three courses. You will be able to unsubscribe at any time. If you like the Light House you should also check out our sister restaurant, Light on the Common, which is also in Wimbledon and is open for breakfast as well as lunch and dinner.

We had a wonderful meal at the Light House.
The sea bass was the best fish I have ever had eating out. I would definitely recommend you try this restaurant. I can not imagine that anyone would be disappointed after visiting it here. Looking forward visiting it again.

We went there for my daughter’s birthday. The restaurant arranged the birthday menu, very impressed. The red curry mussels were super delicious. We had a great lunch there.

Lovely neighborhood restaurant. The food and service was excellent - the squash beet feta avocado salad was particularly good. We’ll be back - it is the perfect local spot for a date night.

Great service and excellent food! I was surprised as prices are low and food was made close to perfection with a great choice of wine. Will be definitely coming back.

Not impressed with food. The free glass of Prosecco was tasteless and almost flat.
It was a Wednesday night and live music helped evening enjoyment.
Serving staff did their job well.
We have been to this restaurant at least 4 times over last 4 years and not been impressed with food.

Went with some friends , as had checked the reviews . The place lacks atmosphere , but is a nice looking environment . Our starters and drinks were good . I am a vegetarian , and there was only one option , which was spinach and ricotta tortellini , I think it was £15 , so thought it would be freshly made . Sadly , it was not !!!
It was dumped with some peas and spinach in a watery , tomato broth . I can make a lot better .
My husband ordered the steak for £22 and the chips were so greasy , he does not like to complain , but I wish he had told me , as I would have sent them back, he got heartburn

Very good value as usual, a restaurant we return to time and again. Good atmosphere, not too loud but enough of a buzz. Excellent value for children. Food very good and the service always pleasant 😋 😊

Lovely local restaurant with a great wine list. Menu changes regularly and it's never disappointing. Chef knows his stuff, and Hugo is a wonderfully genial host.

Really enjoyed my first dining experience here.
Lots of vegetarian and gluten free options in a smart but laid back environment.
Attentive but unobtrusive service with the restaurant filling up quickly from 8pm.

We went here for a birthday dinner. The interior is quite nice and spacious (at least when it's only half full, as it was when we visited). The wine was so-so, and the mains a bit drab. I had to order a side of veg to make mine feel like a proper curry, rather than just rice and salmon with curry sauce on top. The veg that was in there (some red pepper) hadn't been sliced up enough for the curry to be eaten with the spoon provided, which was thoughtless. The wine was average, but the white chocolate pannacotta was actually flavourful.

The service was quite poor, though. As it was quiet

A nice locals kind of spot just off Wimbledon Village. Enjoyed the seared scallops as well as the Lemon Sole & Smoked Salmon ballotine as starters. The chicken was good but a bit too savory (beefy?) flavored for my taste. The menu didn't include some of my favorite dishes from this place like the grilled tuna but it was fine if not overly inspired.
Worth visiting and among the choices at Wimbledon would have to be considered among the best in show (altho Thai Tho up the road, is the Blue Ribbon winner)

Although I agree with the other comments on the decor of this restaurant and the friendly staff I am afraid that I was not impressed with the food.
The starter was delicious, no complaints.
The main course, a Veal dinner came out on a bed of noodles?? Not written on the menu, and the veal itself was deep fried! Tough and tasteless.
Now on to the dessert, Oh My! Two biscuits, three small cubes of fudge and 3 small pieces of truffle chocolate. It looked like they had been taken out of a chocolate box and a fudge bag and placed on a small dish which was then placed in larger dish and I was given a

I thought it was about time I wrote a review about one of my favourite restaurants. I have been to the lighthouse many times. Booking is essential as this is a popular place.


The décor is modern and spacious. The tables are placed sensibly making it easy for all diners to feel comfortable. You are not going to bother anyone else.


The one thing that is probably that makes this place stand-out from others is how child friendly it is. We went there with our 2 year old, who turned her nose up at the pre-prepared food we had for her. We asked for a child's portion of something from the main

As its name suggests, Lighthouse is bright, light and fresh. The restaurant itself is airy and modern and there is a lovely courtyard area too.


The menu, which changes every fortnight, is Italian-influenced with a contemporary twist and uses seasonal ingredients to create inventive dishes. I think this sometimes means the food is lacking in identity but does that matter if it tastes good?


The staff are very friendly and the waiting staff really know about the food. I once went here when I was pregnant and the staff were very clued up about all the unsuitable items on the menu which in my
