St John's Tavern - Carta

after many years enjoying this pub especially a Sunday lunch after dog walks this experience has meant my wife and i won't be going back. a real shame, it was always so reliable......v slow service, cold food......newly expensive too!

We went here as it was still doing Eat Out To Help Out in September, excellent quality food and drinks, I really enjoyed the rabbit, which you don't see on many UK menus. Service was excellent, and with the discount the price was right.

This used to be my favourite local pub. But now it’s £14 for a large glass of wine I won’t be returning . London pubs, please understand the more you increase your prices the less people will come. Keep your prices modest and we will stay, and eventually spend more. No brainer. Ver carta

A lovely family lunch in the familiar theatrical surroundings of St John's Tavern was made really relaxing by the warmth and charm of the welcome. The waiting staff spontaneously offered sensible alterations to the menu and rhythm of the meal to meet the children's needs and made sure everyone felt welcome. The food was great, particularly the starters which were truly delicious.

We have been going to St Johns for 15 years and always loved the food and the atmosphere. I am not sure if the management has changed because the last 2 meals have not been good. Myself, my husband and a friend had the Sunday lamb roast yesterday and it looked undercooked. We have all been up with stomach cramps and nausea. It is a shame as it was such a great place but we will not go again.

We had a great experience here, with all elements enjoyable.The place had a good atmosphere, observing the restrictions we are all engaged with, unaffected.Brilliant food, pleasant service, great beer, charming character.Demonstrated the capability of chef and staff throughout.It always a good sign when people proudly carry and place the food.And when the same degree of pride is placed on vegetarian food.

I’ve been coming here regularly for over 20yrs. The food and service has never let me down I always recommended it. But something has changed… the service was poor and so slow. The menu small and though the food was okay, but the portions have become tiny and so expensive for what was served. A tiny piece of fish hidden under a mountains of pea shoots. And chips for my fish and chips were not included? Terrible to say but I won’t be going back.

We came here for a Sunday roast. The food was very tasty, but we were a bit disappointed by the quantities considering the fairly high prices. I had the vegetarian option which was £16 for a couple of small slices of Celeriac, some potatoes, apple sauce, and gravy. In order to have a meal which didn't leave you feeling hungry afterwards, you'd have had to spend quite a bit more money on sides. Also charging 50p for lime slices is a bit of a joke...

How this place just gets a four star review is beyond me. Just had roast rump beef as a Sunday roast and it was amazing.The ambience, food, service, beer and wine selection is first class.St Johns is the best restaurant in the area (including Highgate) by far. Bar is lovely too and has a fine selection of beers and homemade bar snacks/ food.You will not be disappointed.Service has always been perfect, courteous and helpful so I cannot recommend this place highly enough. They’re also taking Covid precautions very seriously which is refreshing. It’s the safest I’ve felt throughout this ordeal. A massive well done to you all. Thank you! Ver carta
