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.

Fantastic setting. We had a table by the window with amazing view of the river. Excellent service and all staff so friendly. Very special tea. Delicious sandwiches, scones and cakes. Couldn’t finish the cakes so our lovely waitress boxed them up for us. We were there for a 3.45 slot so watched day turn to night and all the London lights come on while we enjoyed our tea. A wonderful way to celebrate the festive season.
