   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.

   Enjoyed trying dishes from the new menu! Had the gurnard which was cooked perfectly although found the addition of pickled chillies rather strange! I hadn’t been here for ages but the open fire and music from the jazz trio in the bar area made for a great atmosphere, so planning a return visit soon!

   Fantastic as ever. Food and wine were excellent (quality and value). I wish they served it on hot plates though. Will always go back

   Great Sunday roast. Really lovely friendly staff. Made us and our little doggie feel very welcome. How all pubs should be.

   Always a pleasure to dine at St John's - been coming for over 25 years - and it never disappoints. In Summer - it can be beautiful to sit outside in their small but surprisingly accommodating garden - the interior is always stylish and inviting. Good for intimate dinners or lunches for two, for large family tables or indeed hiring the whole restaurant out. Better to sit closer to the fire than the kitchen end of the dining room.

   Food was great as always. Staff were generally lovely, but had to be chased a few times for things like the bill, card machine and condiments to accompany our roasts. Noise level is moderate, but this is due to the large open room. Although we pick this pub for that reason as we had a potentially noisy toddler with us. Would be nice to see some mocktails on the menu, but nothing major.

    I love St John’s Tavern, especially their Sunday Roasts, but for me being a non-parent, it is sometimes overtaken on a Sunday by kids running around throughout every area, which does negatively affect the ambience.
