"Sager + Wilde’s roomy arch location in Bethnal Green has a lot going for it. Firstly, it’s a wine bar. That’s a tick. Secondly, its enormous terrace is covered with heaters. Also a tick. And, thirdly, it serves things like spaghetti with Cornish clams and parsley, and fried potatoes with black garlic aioli. Full marks." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"50% off all food from Monday till Wednesday continues unchanged at Sager and Wilde on Paradise Row. Count on small plates of things like burrata, and panzanella salad, a few pastas, and something meaty from the grill." - oliver feldman, rianne shlebak

"Sager and Wilde is the poster child for summer outdoor hangs. Housed in an old Bethnal Green railway arch, it’s got that whole cool industrial thing going on, with enough nice bottles of wine and small plates on the menu to keep things feeling a little classy. It also benefits from being much larger than your average London al fresco situation and you can even have a little holiday moment, involving a great plate of mussels and some flickering candles come evening." - heidi lauth beasley

"Until 1am on Friday and Saturday This cosy Sager + Wilde outpost on Hackney Road is a great wine bar to know about when you want to be led astray by the smell of crispy, gooey, melted cheese toasties. It’s an intoxicating scent, particularly when half-cut, but once you’ve wolfed one of them down, you should check out the wine list. They’ve got everything from natural to fortified covered, as well as a cocktail menu. Small, cool, and reliable." - jake missing, sinead cranna
