Christmas Feasting menus run from December 1st 2008 until we close for the Christmas holidays following lunch on December 23rd.

This year we are offering five menus, all structured around a central beast or fish. The idea is that you circulate the menu options among your group of diners and select the menu that suits all tastes, we'll cater for vegetarians separately.

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.

To compliment each of the menus, Neil Irvine of HG Wines has kindly put together a list of wines at a range of prices to assist diners in ordering wine choices at the same time as ordering their menus.

Debit or credit card details are held password secure on our system and are automatically deleted from our records 48 hours after your reservation date has passed.

We also have a private dining room for up to 18 guests: if you are in the main dining room we may not be able to guarantee seating your entire group on one table and often split larger groups over two tables though we do endeavour to ensure that tables are sat in close proximity to one another.

The bar and dining room at St. John are not decorated for Christmas and we discourage festive paraphernalia from tables.
