Below are the feasting dishes available for larger group bookings at St. JOHN throughout summer 2010.

The feasting theory is that you preorder one or maximum two dishes for your starter, main and dessert from the choices below thus speeding up the process of getting the food from the kitchen to your table but also enhancing the sense of occasion that brings a large group together to dine. So, for example, your party could start with Roast Bone Marrow & Parsley Salad, have the Braised Lamb, Carrots & Aioli for a main course and finish off with Eccles Cake & Lancashire Cheese.

Once you have decided on the dishes you would like, either call us on 020 7251 0848 between 10am-11pm Mon-Fri, or email your choices to reservations@stjohnrestaurant.com. Menus start at £30.00 per head and include side orders. An extra course of appetisers has been added for those diners who would like a little something before sitting down to the starter course which can be served either at the table or in the bar beforehand.

BOOKING and ORDERING YOUR MENU AND PRICING PER PERSON

Groups of 6 and above should call our reservations team on 020 7251 0848. Before you call to book for a large group make sure that you have a credit or debit card to hand as we will require the card details in order to secure your table. Once you have settled on your menu choices either call us on the above number or email your menu to reservations@stjohnrestaurant.com and we will confirm your choices with a price per head. St. John does not take provisional reservations so it is imperative to have all your details to hand when calling.

We endeavour to ensure that your menu choice is honoured but occasionally items become unavailable, should this be the case we will contact you and arrange a suitable alernative.

The minimum charge per person is £30.00, though the price of menus varies depending on the dishes requested. Vegetarian diners will be charged the minimum price per head for three courses.

If you have a budget per head in mind for your event, do let us know when you book and we can better advise your menu choices.

Cancellations may incur a charge depending on the notice given. If food has been pre-ordered at the point of cancelling your card may be charged for the total value of goods ordered. We understand that in certain circumstances cancelling is necessary and take each on merit. With regard to parties arriving with less guests than booked for - should your numbers drop without prior notice to the restaurant you will be charged at the menu price per head for each missing guest above three absent guests.
