When St. JOHN Bread and Wine opened over 15 years ago it was originally intended as a takeaway counter and bakery for the bread for which St. JOHN had become lauded, as well as takeaway wines, offering small plates for those who stopped by as they collected their supplies.

St. JOHN Bread and Wine is open from breakfast through to dinner, seven days a week.
