St John Bread and Wine

No ratings yet
Bread, wine and a lot more

The second outlet for maverick Anglo/offal-specialist chef Fergus Henderson is this simple and unusually pleasing one-room space in (sadly) increasingly trendy Spitalfields. Henderson's original and internationally famous Smithfield-located St John [see entry] — about a mile and a half closer to the city centre — put 'nose to tale eating' back on the map, while Bread and Wine promotes a similar but scaled-down version, with smaller dishes and, on Sunday mornings, some of London's finest bacon sandwiches. Sadly the custard doughnuts are not quite what they used to be since the departure of Justin Gellatly. Opened May 2003.
