For a deliberate lunch or supper built around the day’s British menu.

Our take

Read the day’s menu before committing to a favourite dish. St. JOHN publishes changing menus, making this a place to choose for its approach rather than a guaranteed order. Allow the meal to be the main event and book the Smithfield dining room through the official site.

Lunch and supper are separate services; Sunday is lunch only. These are restaurant service hours, not an assurance that every part of the bar or bakery follows the same schedule. Our selection is based on the published menu and restaurant information, not a first-hand tasting review.
