ST. JOHN Bread & Wine reflects the rhythms of its locale whilst observing the same respect for seasonal, indigenous ingredients and "the whole beast" as the bigger sister restaurant. Currently opening for dinner, Tuesday to Saturday, this branch very much beats its own drum with a menu structured towards a slightly less formal manner of dining, with guests actively encouraged to share dishes as they're ready from the kitchen.As well as selling goods to take home from our bakery, wines by the bottle or the case can be bought from our lists to take home with some delivery available. Bread & Wine has been voted Best British Restaurant by the Evening Standard and named as best value restaurant by The Observer Food Monthly.

I had a wonderful pre-holiday lunch with my wife! The cocktails were spot on. The partridge was cooked the way I like it. The staff were whirring about like madmen and women but never missed a beat, were attentive to every detail, and knew what I wanted before I even did. Thanks for the wonderful holiday send off!
