Amazing experience, the food was incredible and so well thought out, not like anywhere else you can eat in London. For such a high end place, it did not have a snooty atmosphere, it wasn’t bad prices and the staff were so lovely.
My husband and I started off with the bone marrow, razor clams and potted beef, all of which were incredible. We then had the crispy pork cheek, which was very rich but tasty, and kid kidneys which were divine. We then finished off with a very generous portion of treacle dessert. Paired with their house red which was delicious!
I couldn’t recommend enough, probably the best meal I have ever had!

This is different. The food could be described as a different subject, off topic. But it's all delicious. Check the menu before you go. When we went it was perfect. Sure some of these reviews mention it's a bit salty, it's a bit fatty. Of course it's a restaurant serving up all the bits you can't eat anywhere else. For the same price of a chain pasta bar you can eat and be served properly.
Service was absolutely excellent, a busy Sunday but nothing was too much.
Thanks people. We'll be back, it's taken a few year to get around to you, promise we won't leave it so long.

We arrived on a Tuesday for lunch. It was packed but we had a reservation.
We started with some bread and butter and then moved on to the bone marrow with parsley salad. It was very good but beware: you’ll spill food on your clothes! Very tasty ox tongue with beetroot and horseradish. We also had the grilled lamb heart which was amazing and surprising.
There was an interesting day special: greens and pig cheeks.
St John has a wonderful service. The vibe is great and relaxed, many tables seemed to be having a great time. You can either visit for a serious elegant work meeting, a birthday party or just an unexpected informal lunch.

I stumbled into here with a mate who had done some research and ended up having a dexter steak that was the BEST steak of my entire life. I literally thanked all the chefs like I was a fan at a music concert. The vibe is sensational for fans of unpretentious nose to tail eating. If I half closed my eyes I could have been in a war time field kitchen. It's banging our some of the best food with impeccable wines and service. Couldn't reccomend enough

Great food! Snails are a must try for starter, bone marrow was okay imo, I had tried tastier ones in Asia. We had the Ox Cheek and Saddleback for our main and loved them!
Good atmosphere, got busy quickly and the gentleman waiting on us was excellent, experienced, poise and gave us enough attention.

Good experience, glad I'd tasted the bone marrow, super duper delicious, the food was a bit salty for me for some dishes, but will recommend y'all, at least try it once.
The wine is also great.

Birthday lunch at St John’s today was par excellence! All the dishes were perfectly presented and expertly cooked . The Welsh rarebit was and bone marrow were finger licking good. The bread pudding and pavlova with berry compote was heaven .

If you are a foodie in London, this place is at the top of the list. It is so very british, in all its quirkiness. From bone marrow to kidney and tongue all the way to traditional dish names i would struggle to remember, everything is so tasty and fresh. You will love and remember it all your life. I know people that specifically ask to come to StJohn when they are in London. Oh and have madeleines.

Eccentric food, very tasty courgettes, lamb was a little heavy but fish was good. Quail was nice but hard to eat, the cod cheeks looked delicious but we didn’t get it. Bread was mediocre

Best to make a reservation as the restaurant fills up by about 1pm, although you can still sit in the bakery area. The bone marrow is definitely something to order, and the turbot fish is really good too. The rarebit was a little heavy with the rest of the meal but it’s a good one. The pig’s tongue was something many tables ordered and worth a try too.
