Fergus Henderson’s original home of “Nose to Tail Eating” opened in a former smokehouse around the corner from Smithfield Market in 1994.Celebrating the finest of indigenous British produce and making the most of what is seasonally best whilst applying straight forward cooking techniques, St. John is now celebrated as one of the 50 Best Restaurants in the World and in 2009 was awarded its first Michelin Star.Nose to tail eating means that, where appropriate, every part of the animal should be put to good use in the kitchen and so along with Roast Beef and Lemon Sole, diners will find Rolled Pig’s Spleen, Kidneys and Ox Heart, Liver and Chitterlings as well as the Roast Bone Marrow & Parsley Salad, something of a ‘signature’ dish.

• Traditional French • Farringdon
Booked 56 times today
Having spent years supplying London’s top restaurants through their separate wine businesses, Joe Haynes and Benedict Butterworth have joined forces with Tom Hurst, who has worked at Brawn, The Marksman, Levan, and most recently as Head Chef at Lasdun, to launch the trio’s first restaurant together.Located in a Grade II listed building on Cloth Fair, Cloth Restaurant is part of a historic row of buildings in the City of London that survived the Great Fire of 1666. Down this atmospheric alley opposite St Bartholomew church, Cloth is taking over a double fronted corner site that’s beneath the former home of poet John Betjeman and next door to the two oldest residential buildings in London. Inside, low ceilings, wood floorboards with antique wall lights and artwork create a cosy, intimate atmosphere, while marble tables, long dark wood banquettes, antique crockery and cutlery will create the feel of a classic bistro.

    Went for set lunch today at Cloth. All the food was very good, but the cod brandade starter in particular was amazing - perfectly balanced flavours and beautifully seasoned. The dishes may look and sound simple on the menu but are nicely refined and interesting. The portions are not huge; rather the size was carefully considered for a lunch menu. The flavours were rich but not too heavy, so clearly a lot of thought has been put into the overall design on the set lunch. It also represented good value for money and, as a result, the restaurant was very busy. The atmosphere is quite cosy and noisy due to the low ceilings. Overall I really enjoyed it and would definitely come back!

    Had the "All in" chop selection to share. More than enough food for the 2 of us and absolutely cooked to perfection. The beef dripping chips were amazing and the starter meat and kimchi selection was tasty. Service was quick and engaging.

    Where to begin? My husband and I dined here nearly a decade ago. It’s remained a favorite food memory. For his birthday this year, I got tickets to London and made reservations for 2X/day for 7 days via email with the manager. We had so much fun getting to know the food, the hosts, and the servers. We were treated so well. We are from Montana, and we live in a farming and hunting community. The food at St John is local, wholesome, simple but difficult, and oh so tasty and wise. Give it a try!
