"Previously called Wilderness Kitchen, Wolf at the Door launched earlier this year – with a brand new concept that I, for one, have very much welcomed. Serving up tacos and bao buns from just £1 each (Yep! You read that right!) with American twists, the restaurant and natural wine bar has become a popular NQ spot this year. Be sure to stop by to try some orange wine and a couple of bao buns when we finally escape this bloomin’ tiering system."

"Another seriously pocket-friendly spot in the city, Wolf at the Door serves up tacos from just £1, with Bao Buns starting at just £2. There’s no catch either, just turn up any day of the week and tuck in. Pair it with one of their natural wines, and you’re onto a winner."

"Wolf At The Door may tout an award-winning drinks list and mouthwatering food offering, but this chilled back spot is a welcome retreat from the stuffier picks in the city. Think small plates, classic desserts and intriguing wines to wash it all down."
