Cute spot for a date night that doesn’t feel pretentious, although the service was a bit slow. The lamb, dressed crab, and smoked cod row were stand outs. The madeleines were phenomenal and cannot be missed.

Amazing relaxed atmosphere and incredible food. Very simple but different and absolutely delicious.

My wife and I had a marvelous late Sunday Roast at St John Bread and Wine. The house wine was reasonably priced and raised our spirits while we waited for some unique modern British dishes including mackerel with pickled cabbage, lamb hearts, and a delightful kohlrabi dish. We finished with the madeleines for desert. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The environment is intimate, with my only complaint being the noisy acoustics.

I don’t usually cry at a restaurant but when tasting the food at St John’s I got emotional.Enjoy.

Food kind a bit hit or miss, especially given the prices. Pigeon was quite dry, but bread pudding was great. Also I understand serving dishes whenever they’re ready as we were sharing everything, but they wanted to give the side dishes after we had already been served all the mains and when asked explained the concept again in a standoffish weird tone. Don’t really appreciate that, weird vibe.

A lovely, almost nostalgic restaurant; we went there because of a recent UTube feature. The food was overall 'good' not excellent and in some cases quite wonderful but overall, we left with a feeling of paying too much for too little food. Two small pieces of mutton on a bone at £24 was a gentle rip-off; same for the pigeon we had. The tongue we had was overcooked. Wine - if you are going to pay £10.95 for a glass of wine it must not come from a bottle opened how many days before; the wine had oxidised and that is inexcusable and downright wrong. The staff were lovely but the restaurant needs to give careful consideration to how much do they want to push the ceiling of value for money for food presented and the quality. The final bill was expensive and for that level of bill you need super quality and you don't get that. That all said, there were plenty of diners so maybe they won't bother upping their game.

Cool restaurant with nice food and a cool, rustic minimalist interior. Service was mostly good but occasionally a little awkward or distracted; counterpoint the food runner was maybe the sweetest person I've met in London and the bartender makes a perfect vesper martini. Some dishes were a little bland (eg a boring terrine) while others sang (an amazing crab legs). Worth a visit.
Take the best home cooking you've ever had and stick a turbo charger on it.Lovely atmosphere, nice staff, just the right mix of noise - where you can still have a conversation, but you feel part of a bigger whole.Food arrived quickly, especially as they were busy.

A really delicious & delightful evening. Came for a birthday meal with my boyfriend after us both wanting to go here for years. We originally had a booking at the Smithfield restaurant but got a notification a week earlier that it was still under renovation and were offered an alternative reservation at any of their other restaurants - this ended up being fine LUCKILY but as a shift worker I would’ve been pretty gutted if I wasn’t available any other time as I got time off work specially etc etc, so my only point of complaint is that it would’ve been great if we were notified of this earlier in advance if possible.On arrival we got a complimentary glass of Prosecco on which was very thoughtful! Also the restaurant is BYOB which i think is great.We went for crispy pig skin (absolutely DELICIOUS but we thought a touch too mustardy), bone marrow salad, mutton (so so tender and juicy), lambs heart (OUTSTANDING), Welsh rarebit (WOW) and green salad as sides, and 6 of the best madelines I’ve ever had in my life for dessert. Which they put a candle in :) the madelines are literally baked fresh to order so come piping hot and are actually to die for.Our waiter was great, it was a busy evening and we had to ask for some water and for our wine to be uncorked a couple of times before it was done, but this didn’t detract at all. He was very attentive, friendly and funny and if anything this just made the pace of our dinner lovely and slow. We were really hanging about savouring the evening and were one of the last tables to leave at closing time and we weren’t rushed out at all.All in all a fabulous bday meal - thank you so much!!

The food here is unusual and incredibly well prepared - simply magnificent. We ordered three or four smaller plates and shared them as starters, then did the same for mains. Everything was excellent.Highly recommended.
