St John Hotel Restaurant

About St John Hotel Restaurant

St. John Hotel Restaurant in Leicester Square right next to the beating pulse of London’s Theatreland where Chinatown takes on the West End and Soho is just over the road is the place where superchef Fergus Henderson has staked out his new restaurant-with-hotel. This is the former home of Soho icon Manzis, and Henderson’s nose-to-tail eating is now branching out to dawn-to-dusk and table-to-bed. Chef is Tom Harris, formerly sous chef at St John in Clerkenwell, producing the succinctly-described but luscious modern English cuisine that Henderson is rightly celebrated for. The British ingredients are of the highest order and every bit of everything is put to use in the kitchen. If you’re stopping here pre-theatre, staff will know your curtain time and will move you through your meal accordingly, and it’s open til very late. If you know the original St. John, the minimalist, austere style of the dining room at St. John Hotel restaurant will be familiar indeed, as will the menu, wines and friendly, intelligent service.
