A contemporary British pub with an astonishing dining room. St Johns serves well sourced, seasonal British food along with classic European regional dishes. We source our produce from British farms and sustainable sources, and everything is made on the premises. Service is relaxed but efficient and the ambience is one of ease and conviviality.

    The food and service were both excellent on the night we went. We had a butterflied whole sea bass which was cooked on hot coals and it was fab! The waiter was very knowledgeable about the whole menu and did a great job of serving a busy restaurant.
