St. John Bread & Wine is the breezy younger brother to the Michelin starred St. John, both
belong to the “Godfather of Offal” Fergus Henderson, famed for his ‘schnoz to caudal appendage’
cookery.
Aside from the in house bakery; interesting wine
selection; ‘Lunch’ ‘Supper’ and
‘Feasting’ menus, the good thing about ‘SJBW’ is that they are also open for
breakfast… and a mighty fine one they serve too!
So good that on my recent weekend trip to
London, I went two days in a row. On Saturday, I had the Old Spot Bacon Sandwich. No need for me to tell you how good it was…
follow ‘this link’ where Fergus
himself reveals, “How to make the perfect bacon sandwich”.
On Sunday, I had the Poached Rhubarb Yoghurt & Toasted Brioche. A generous serving
of yoghurt, topped with delightfully tart rhubarb with brown sugar on the side.
My one grievance was that I needed more of the amazing honey soaked brioche!
The staff are super friendly; the vibe is
chilled; the coffee is great; the juices are delicious and you can get fresh
bread; house made jam and Eccles cakes to take away! What more could you want?
Next time I’m in that part of
town I want to try Fergus’ wife’s place, the ‘Rochelle Canteen’.
