Below are the feasting dishes available for larger group bookings at St. JOHN Bread & Wine through Summer 2010.  The feasting theory is that you pre-order one, or a maximum, two dishes for your starter, main and dessert from the choices below thus enhancing the sense of occasion that brings a large group together to dine.  So, for example, your party could start with Potted Rabbit, have Cobb Chicken for the main course and finish off with Gingerloaf. Once you have decided on the dishes you would like, either call us on 020 7251 0848 between 10am-11pm Mon-Fri, or email your choices to reservations@stjohnrestaurant.com.
