Christmas Feasting begins at St. John Bread and Wine on December 1st 2008 and runs until we close for the Christmas holidays following lunch on December 23rd.

There are four menus to choose from, all centred by a vital beast or fish. Circulate the menus among your group or diners and select the menu that suits the majority taste, your vegetarian guests will be catered for seperately.

When you have decided on the date for your lunch or supper, call us on 020 7251 0848 to make your booking being sure to have your credit or debit card to hand - we won't enter any booking details in to our system without them.

Alternatively, if you have already booked the table but need to confirm the menu details you can email us your menu choice to reservations@stjohnrestaurant.com. Be sure to include all the booking details including a daytime contact number.

Credit and debit card details are held password secure on our system and are deleted automatically from our system 48 hours after your reservation date has passed.

St. John Bread and Wine is not decorated for the festive season and we discourage paraphernalia from tables.
