"St. John is London’s most famous British restaurant and the place in which we have most actively fantasised about holding both our wedding and wake. It’s a white-walled haven in Clerkenwell that’s been proudly serving roasted bone marrow, gargantuan pies, and homemade doughnuts since the mid-‘90s. Much of St. John’s lore is thanks to Fergus Henderson, the chef who pioneered nose-to-tail cooking, but a large portion of its longevity is in the fact that both he and Trevor Gulliver (his co-founder) are here almost daily, having a Fernet-Branca at the bar or devilled kidneys and mash in the dining room." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
