St. John

About St. John

St. John is an English restaurant on St John Street in Smithfield, London. It was opened in October 1994 by Trevor Gulliver, Fergus Henderson, and Jon Spiteri on the premises of a former bacon smokehouse. Under Henderson as head chef, St. John specialises in "nose-to-tail eating", with a devotion to offal and other cuts of meat rarely seen in restaurants, often reclaiming traditional British recipes. Typical dishes include pigs' ears, ducks' hearts, trotters, pigs' tails, bone marrow and, when in season, squirrel. St. John has developed a following amongst gastronomic circles: "chefs, foodies, food writers and cooks on sabbatical". It was awarded a Michelin star in 2012.
