St. John

1. Absolutely stunning restaurant! I was here recently and had some of the most fantastic food.

   Firstly we were pleasantly greeted by a lovely gentleman (didn’t catch his name but he was super chatty and lovely). And we were seated right by the kitchen which was perfect! Loved seeing the chefs work, one of them was butchering a whole pig at one point – incredible!

   The food was an easy 10/10. The bone marrow was easily the best dish we had, it’s obvious why they run out of this so quickly. The pork head and broth was so rich and delicious and we loved the lamb and the blood cake too. And how could I forget the Welsh rarebit. So rich and delicious. I want this again! And I’d go back just to have the bone marrow again and again.

   Highly recommended.

2. Came for lunch on a Friday, the restaurant and bar area were both busy.

   The food was excellent, with the standouts being the bone marrow starter and honeycomb ice cream for dessert.

   The service was friendly without being overbearing. Prices were reasonable given the quality of food

   Can’t wait to visit again!

3. Second visit this year and it was as good as the first time. I’d pass on the famous bone marrow starter next time – it’s hit and miss as to whether you actually get any marrow but what you do get is delicious. The potted beef was as great as I remember it.
   Pheasant and Trotter pie was excellent as was the Hake and the Welsh Rarebit. All washed down with a bottle of St John Macon. Finished with fresh madeleines and a Fergroni. If you’re used to overly attentive service then dont expect that here. The service is good but a few more smiles would not go amiss. We’ll be back next time we’re in London.

4. Fantastic meal and exceptional service from a London institution. Quality British fare at its finest – great ingredients and smart twists on dishes classic and modern.
   Rustic settings and attentive wait staff. Massive wine & drinks list as well to complement the food.

5. While we enjoyed going out for dinner, this restaurant sadly is not worth it for the price you pay in our opinion. We were disappointed firstly with the presentation of the food, very little thought gone in when you are spending £15 – £30 a plate. Across all dishes we found them either to be too salty or sweet and the sauce with the rabbit was watery and lacking in flavour. All in all the balance was off in all dishes in our opinion and for what you are spending you get far better elsewhere. On the plus side our waiter was lovely, and the venue while not to our taste was unique, but sadly we won’t be rushing back.
