    A refreshingly different menu using seasonal ingredients. We enjoyed everything we ordered which was more filling than we had expected. (Had to take some home in a doggy bag). Quite expensive for what we had but I am slowly getting used to having to pay more, quite a lot more, in good restaurants these days. Service was excellent and ambience was great.

    We had a phenomenal meal at St. John’s. Everything was perfectly paced and so delicious. Dominic was our waiter, and we couldn’t ask for a better host through our meal. Would absolutely recommend, and also come back every time we’re in London. You must get the Madeline’s to go. We finished them before we even got to the tube. Kindest, Maddie & Win

    Loved the experience but meal was a bit ruined by adding heavily fishy broccoli as a side to a beef cheek dish. We didn’t realise the side came with the fishy topping. :( Thought the portions of main were small for price point. Charming staff and really glad we visited! Thanks!
