Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver opened St. JOHN in October 1994. The former smokehouse, situated around the corner from London's Smithfield Market had fallen into serious disrepair since ham and bacon smoking ceased in 1967.

If you visit St. John you'll find the building pretty much as it was found. We've painted the walls white, installed a bar and a bakery in two of the chimneys, a kitchen and a dining room in the former packing rooms and a private room in the former loading bay and topped the bar with 20-foot high skylights.

Head chef: Steve Darou

Restaurant manager: Tjasa Corn

Cakeage

If you would like to bring a cake to the restaurant for a special occasion, which you would like served in place of a dessert we charge £5 per person.

Service Charge

A discretionary service charge of 12.50% is added to your bill, all of which is fully distributed to the team.
