St John Bread and Wine

St. John Bread and Wine stands proudly on Commercial Street, just opposite the historic Spitalfields Market. It is the sibling to the original St. John in Smithfield, and carries forward Fergus Henderson’s iconic nose-to-tail ethos with unwavering commitment. The room is bright and open, with clean lines and whitewashed walls echoing the honest, utilitarian charm that St. John is known for. Guests are welcomed into a setting that feels both everyday and extraordinary — where British seasonal ingredients take centre stage and the dishes reflect a devotion to simplicity and depth of flavour. Diners come for the famed roast bone marrow and parsley salad, but return for the ever-evolving blackboard menu, shaped daily by the market's freshest offerings. The atmosphere is lively but never rushed — ideal for lingering over a plate of devilled kidneys or a glass from the thoughtful wine list. Service is available throughout the week, with lunch daily, a bar menu in the afternoon, and supper served every evening. A neighbourhood favourite with national reverence, it remains one of London’s most enduring culinary institutions, often offering seasonal specials and set menus.
