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.

    Great as ever. From anchovy toast, beetroot and pickled walnut to cod’s roe, mutton, and bone marrow, all excellent.

    This was my second visit and both trips were excellent. I have also been to the original restaurant on St John Street and both are excellent but different. Bread and Wine is slightly more informal that St John Street but like the parent has excellent food, wine and service.

    Incredible food! Couldn’t fault it and not quite like any meal I’ve ever had before - even though the food was simple and understated. Less is more here.
