St. John's first new restaurant in seven years will serve deep-fried chubbies of Welsh rarebit
will open its first new restaurant in 7 years, when it arrives in the west London neighbourhood of Marylebone this autumn.
The new restaurant, which is scheduled to open on Marylebone Lane on Tuesday 18 October, will function as both a wine bar and dining room, which will offer an all-day menu. Parisian and Tuscan wine bar culture has informed this neighbourhood opening, according to co-founder Trevor Gulliver.
For breakfast, the Bermondsey bakery arch — on Druid Street — which now serves the London restaurant and bakery portfolio, will be sending across the brand’s well-known doughnuts and breads, as well granola, which will be paired with yoghurt and seasonal poached fruit. Between breakfast and lunch, the restaurant will encourage its guests to consume champagne alongside fruit, custard, or chocolate doughnuts because that’s how St. John rolls. Since forever, the original site on St. John Street in Clerkenwell, at the specific wish of owner Fergus Henderson, has served the singular combination of seed cake and Madeira for “elevenses,” the name given to the antiquated mid-morning tea break or, latterly, the British equivalent of brunch.
That menu will be “driven and informed” by the group’s wine list, “with a firm emphasis on the seasonal and local, pulling from the classic St. John repertoire but with touches all its own and nods to culinary luxuries that Fergus so enjoys — a touch of caviar, perhaps,” according to St John spokesperson. The menu and those touches will be “cheeky,” Henderson says.
