St. John

"St. John probably isn’t the first spot that comes to mind for a bit of group drinking. But the bar area at the original St. John in Clerkenwell is vast, with plenty of seating, and it’s a favourite of ours for drinks with several people, midweek or on the weekend. There’s an enticing aperitif menu, a lot of beers on tap, a great wine selection, and if you get peckish, St. John’s legendary bone marrow salad is on the bar menu." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna

"We might not be able to get St John’s terrine or roast bone marrow delivered to us, but at least we can order their house wines here. You can order mixed cases, single bottles, or a bag in box." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"Few things will spark joy in the heart of most quarantiners (is that a word?) like a box of wine. Especially if that wine is from St. John. You can order three litres of rosé, red, or white wine for under £40 directly from their online shop." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak

"What to order:A box of wine. Because, wine. Ever shared a box of excellent wine with some mates at the park? We have. It’s fantastic. It’s also how we know that it’s impossible to get red wine stains out of white denim. Still, we regret nothing and neither will you if you order one of the signature boxes of St John wine for home delivery. Three litres of rosé for £38? Don’t mind if we do. Going big? There’s a 10-litre box too." - heidi lauth beasley

"Maximum Capacity: 16 Minimum Spend: £750 for lunch / £950 for dinner St. John is effectively Disneyland, but with meat. Imagine Thunder Mountain but entirely made out of bone marrow, and you’ve got a pretty clear idea of how much grown-up fun you’ll have at London’s original nose-to-tail dining spot in Farringdon. Much like the rest of the British restaurant, the private dining room has white walls, white tablecloths, and a simple, classic look." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
