My previous visit to St John was a bit of a disappointment ( we ate in the bar and the service was very poor) , so I was a bit skeptical about how things would be in the dining room… I’m pleased to say that everything from start to find was fabulous. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly and the food, delicious . We both chose the pollock with puttanesca sauce, crispy potatoes and a green salad followed by sticky toffee pudding and accompanied by a bottle of Chardonnay which was certainly not an average oaky wine! So pleased St J is now back on my radar and I look forward to enjoying dinner there again soon.

The food was exceptional, a big thank you to the kitchen and the head chef Sean. We shared starters and the trout and aubergine salad were amazing. The staff were incredible, particularly Mounir, and Henty were brilliant. Very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back and highly recommend,

Outstanding service! The roasts were delicious- especially the roast potatoes- which is always a sign of great food! The Yorkshire pudding’s could have been hotter but apart from that- excellent!!

Since the last time I went they have changed all the paintings in the main room, which gave the place real character. They have also turned up the lighting. The menu had also changed completely. Now vaguely Middle Eastern/Italian with only one fish option. Good service on a quiet evening - place was about 30% full on a Thursday evening. Excellent jazz in the bar afterwards.

Great service! The individual roasts were a good size, but the sharing suckling lamb advertised for two wasn't really filling, not much meat on the bone. Could've been easily eaten by only one person; it would have been more convenient to order two individual dishes. The sticky toffee pudding was a winner, but the pear dessert was a bit of a steal.. £8 for less than half a pear and a splash of cream.
