Winter Feasting for 2009

Below are the feasting dishes available for larger group bookings at St. JOHN Bread & Wine through Winter 2009. The feasting theory is that you pre-order one, or 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 Whole Crabs & Mayonnaise, have the Longhorn Forerib for a main course and finish off with Eccles Cake & Lancashire Cheese. 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.

Once you have settled on your menu choices either call us on the above number or email your menu to reservations@stjohnrestaurant.com and we will confirm your choices with a price per head. St. John does not take provisional reservations so it is imperative to have all your details to hand when calling.

We endeavour to ensure that your menu choice is honoured but occasionally items become unavailable, should this be the case we will contact you and arrange a suitable alternative.

The minimum menu charge per person is £30.00, though the price of menus varies depending on the dishes requested, if you have a budget per head in mind for your event, do let us know when you book and we can better advise your menu choices.

Cancellations may incur a charge depending on the notice given, if food has been pre-ordered at the point of cancelling your card may be charged for the total value of goods ordered. We understand that in certain circumstances cancelling is necessary and take each on merit. With regard to parties arriving with less guests than booked for - should your numbers drop without prior notice to the restaurant you will be charged at the menu price per head for each missing guests above three absent guests.
