Good Food and Good Company

On Tuesday, the 6th, I went for lunch at St John Bread & Wine, and had a really lovely lunch, obviously helped along by the company too.

For those who don't know, St John, there are two, are restaurants created by Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver. The original, Smithfield, was opened in 1994, and this one was opened in 2003. Bread & Wine is based on plates that are shared - my favourite way of eating!

We got there on a beautiful day and there were only a few other tables there. we had a bottle of water and I chose a bottle of Irouleguy white. We then set about the difficult task of choosing. Three plates were decided upon: Beetroot, goat's curds and a herb which escapes me at the moment; Quail and Aioli and Blood Cake with Duck Egg (the best name ever). We meandered our way through the dishes with great joy, interspersing with lots of conversation, and then decided to share the Rhubarb Jelly for dessert.

The food was delicious, the wine superb and the meal memorable. Thank you.
