A contemporary British pub with an astonishing dining room. St Johns serves well sourced, seasonal British food along with classic European regional dishes. We source our produce from British farms and sustainable sources, and everything is made on the premises. Service is relaxed but efficient and the ambience is one of ease and conviviality.

    Food was good, waiting staff helpful. It would have been nice to have had maybe one more big plate options for weekday deal but small plates were excellent and quality of food within the deal was excellent

    Heard rumours about their Sunday roast, in particular the roast beef, we were not disappointed. Meat and Yorkshire pudding fabulous. Waiters so attentive and friendly, our dog was given off cuts! Great atmosphere which seemed to peak mid afternoon. Big pub, plenty of tables, nice decor One star less as my apple pie could have been better, maybe offer crumble instead? Easy to park on a Sunday. Great find
