A delicious meal which heaped pleasure on tasty pleasure. The service was great and we relaxed into a splendid evening. Looking forward to the next time.
This was our first meal out since the recent lockdown, and I’m so glad we came. An excellent experience as expected. The blood pudding and white cabbage salad were simple but outstanding, and serving team were helpful and happy! All round, a perfect night.
Fantastic food, attentive and personable service with good knowledge of the menu, interesting wine selection and good cleanliness.
BEAUTIFULLY COOKED FOOD FROM AN ECLECTIC MENU. AN INTERESTING WINE LIST WITH A KNOWLEDGEABLE AND FRIENDLY WAIT STAFF. I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.
Phenomenal food and menu selection. Love the use of wild game and more uncommon cuts of meats from snout to tail. Great vibes. Only wish the tables were more spaced out due to pandemic reasons.
One of my favourite restaurants. Delicious as always. Knowledgable staff and interesting menu.
Great visit, will be back. Food and service were great.
It really is a wonderful place, the madeleines are truly without competition. Whole meal was superb.
My son and I had an extremely delicious meal as a belated birthday celebration before lockdown... the food was amazing, especially delicious mushroom & trotter on toast and fresh and full flavoured apple sorbet with Polish vodka...
St John is always a treat - no matter if St John Street or Spitalfields - for any occasion!
Absolutely loved everything about this restaurant. Bone marrow which a special menu of the day was extraordinary. Great service and reasonable proce.
loved our visit at St Johns. The staff were really friendly. I wanted to order the fish, which was just sold out, but my alternative choice was delicious.. Who would have thought that mince meat on dripping toast could be so lush!!
Lovely meal, concise classic British cooking, very well executed. Lovely beers to accompany and a charming dining room. Will definitely return in future
Going out for dinner
Incredible food and staff ! Loved loved loved loved the pie and terrine were fab
Always quietly perfect. Madeleines freshly out of the oven, pie bubbling away. Perfect.
My partner and I had a lovely evening at St John Bread and Wine. The food was delicious and the staff were extremely knowledgable when helping us choose complementary wines and answering our questions about the food. We also felt very safe at the restaurant because of their COVID safety measures. We'll definitely be back!
We had a table with good distance to anybody else.
Shared a few different dishes that were all really full of taste.
It was difficult to make our choices from the plentiful menu so we got good advice on what to try.
I have never had pigeon and trotter pie before.
Service was great - we really felt welcome and we will be back very soon.
Thank you!
All the best Torben
Staff had no energy and / or busy chatting to friends. No greeting for 3mins upon arrival although it wasn’t that busy. Food was excellent as usual just ambience and staff really let us down and this is the first time we experienced it. Still recommend to go there for food but maybe dont bother going while on COVID restriction is in place...
St John Bread and Wine has been consistently excellent year after year. Even in these Covid19 affected times it maintains its quality and value for money. My only niggle is that I’d like a slightly longer choice of wine by glass. And bring back Muscat Sec!!!
Innovative but unpretentious food. Helpful service. Great wine list.
Just brilliant as always, great service, fun people and gorgeous food. Thanks.
The food was barely edible. Really strange. I can’t fathom that they thought it was acceptable.
Overall a very enjoyable experience. It is the second time we have been there and it is always interesting to try less common cuts of meat. The staff are very knowledgeable about the menu and I like the canteen ambience.
Great food with high quality ingredients. Wonderful atmosphere and friendly, knowledgable staff.
simply beautiful and brilliant. I ate alone and had an amazing experience as the ambience and energy is cozy and all inclusive.... and the food and wine was to die for. can’t wait to come back - seriously just basically divine.
Quite a few dishes were ran out of but this was to be expected with the type of dining Experience. Service was helpful, we had a young enthusiastic chap for most of the night. A couple of bottles of red also unavailable which was more of a surprise. All in all very tasty and I'm sure I'll be back to either restaurant.
3 rd time here. This place is basically has the most authentic British food in London. Highly recommend .. 🙌🏻👌🏻
Everything was perfect. The wine the food and the company. I will try the other restaurant, no doubt!
Very nice food and friendly service. A great place to eat with friends
Wait staff are all super attentive, engaging, and lovely. It felt like a proper experience. The food is divine, we were trying to be adventurous and it did not disappoint! Do not skip dessert!
I've been going to St John's for about 6 years and it has never ceased to be brilliant
Amazing! Yes it is pricey, but unlike most of this kind of places well worth it. I can cook pretty well so usually when I go to this kind of restaurants, I end up going home slightly hungry and thinking that with the same ingredients I can cook a better meal myself without bleeding the money. None of this was a problem here. Portions are decent and their cooks know something that I don't:)
Awesome restaurant. Classic food, prepared with care and attention to detail. Delicious!!!
What a wonderful menu - British staples cooked with panache and amazing ingredients to create indulgence and surprise to the taste buds. Sprats, marrow bone and mutton all cooked perfectly with plenty of flavour. The madeleines we had for dessert were incredible - still warm, light and fluffy. Nothing to fault here.
Excellent tasty generous food in a convivial atmosphere. We enjoyed ourselves and stayed for pudding and dessert wine.
Been loving St. John Bread and Wine for years and this was my first visit after lockdown. All the staff are wearing PPE and I felt pretty safe dining in the early evening. The restaurant did get a full house around 8 pm. Wish there's little more space between tables. But other than that I totally recommend. Food and drinks were amazing as always. The menu changes daily though bone marrow and madeleines are not to be missed. It gets quite emotional when you being served the food that you remember in this stranger time. Very happy for them doing so well after lockdown. Book an early slot if you are worried about the restaurant getting too crowded.
Great food, fantastic madeleines, bit more experimental than St John in Farringdon
Wonderful meal with a good vibe whilst socially distancing. Staff were super lovely and steered us right with our choices.
Really enjoyed our dinner, can’t wait to go back!
