St John's PigFAIL 2010

We came. We saw. We ate pig.Last Friday, 16 of London's finest female foodies descended on St John Restaurant, Smithfields, to take part in Ladies' PigFest 2010. It's been a life-long dream of mine to ravage a whole wild boar Obelix style, so this was one step closer to fulfilling that dream - for our group of girls were about to dine on suckling pig.Kill the pig, cut his throat, bash...

St John – EC1 – A Review

Jump to Comments - The food at St John is always great. Simple, Authentic and Tasty. - I always have a great meal here. There are some Items I go back for (Bone Marrow, Snails, Suckling Pig), but generally I love to go to see what there will be. - I can’t really fault anything, the decor is not to some peoples taste, but neither is the food. To those people I say ‘ptscchh’ -...

St John - Still Great

The food at St John is always great. Simple, Authentic and Tasty.

I always have a great meal here. There are some Items I go back for (Bone Marrow, Snails, Suckling Pig), but generally I love to go to see what there will be.

I can't really fault anything, the decor is not to some peoples taste, but neither is the food. To those people I say ‘ptscchh’

The wine could be a little fmore than an encyclopedia of France for my pallet, but what it does have is outstanding.

The eccles cakes are great and whenever I drive past I always try and pick up a couple.

The bar is a great place for a drink and a snack. If you have not been, you must go. If you have been, why are you reading this, surely you should be there now…or are you reading this on twitter?
