About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Charming

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.

It's just an exceptional place for incredibly well pitched food dishes. Everything, which changes daily depending on availability was spot on. Octopus, Gloucester Old Spot and Broccoli were perfect. As always the wine list and service were exquisite. It's not big food, it's not comforting. But it is incredible, it's real and it's true and that's the best accolade from me.

Always been one of my favourite restaurants, but I fear that the cost of living crisis has hit it hard, and the range of lower priced smaller dishes was so much smaller than last time, and even the simple dishes like asparagus - whilst AMAZING - were just too expensive for what they were.

30m after the beginning of our experience we started to feel rushed like get out of here so we can accomodate some walk ins kind of feeling , the server instead of bringing the dessert we ordered brought the bill and the machine. I’ve been in saint John’s before and none of this happened. Food brilliant as always
