About .Wiltons

Wiltons restaurant is known for its unwavering commitment to sourcing the finest British produce season to season.  It is most known for its oysters which one would expect as George William Wilton first opened his shellfish mongers close to Haymarket in 1742.

In the late 18th century, Haymarket was a thriving market that sold hay and straw for the horses and livestock of London.  This lively market attracted traders offering a great variety of wares including matches, buttons, songbirds, ballads, hot eels, sheep’s trotters and mulled wine.

The oyster barrow was a great success, so much so that the business was now operating out of a fixed premises and, after devoting 28 years of his life to serving, he passed the business on to his son Francis Charles Wilton who passed the ownership to his nephew William Nichol Wilton in 1805 changing the name of the Oyster Rooms to Wiltons Shellfish Mongers and Oyster Rooms.
