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…

St John not only has some of the most reasonably priced cocktails I have had in London so far but also some of the most delicious food as well! I enjoyed their snails and John dory whilst my partner enjoyed their goats curd and tomatoes. We left feeling very satisfied with our meal and will definitely be returning.

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.

Wow 🤯 if you haven’t been to St. John’s … what are you doing??!?! I can’t believe this was my first time here and my 1000th time in London, I will definitely be making this a regular. Was quite easy to get an early reservation for lunch. Really enjoyed the concept and overall food experience. The servers were so knowledgeable and are really proud of the animal sources and overall restaurant 10/10.

I was lucky enough to get a last-minute booking for their 30th anniversary menu. This restaurant had been on my radar for several years but it was the promotion that finally made try it. I had the famous bone marrow but I have had better bone marrow elsewhere. In my opinion the green salad with parsley, capers and dressing overpowers the flavour of the bone marrow, and it should be served with something else. I ordered two mains, the skate with tomato and aioli and a lamb chop that replaced the roast Mangalitza that they ran out of. I was served both mains at once, which made me a bit…
