If you want a real british experience with natural, healthy food in an atmosphere far from the glamour of the west end you should try St John Bread & Wine open in 2003 in the trendy Shoreditch, just opposite the Spitalfield market.
In recent years traditional brit cuisine has had a makeover so now you can enjoy modern brits dishes across the capital; this one is the sister informal basic version of the established St John in Smithfield.
You will be served courses made of fresh, free-range locally sourced ingredients listed in a menu which changes weekly and which is structured towards sharing plates among guests.
Pork pie - Pig's head - whole suckling pig - duck egg - parsnip soup and a choice of puddings are waiting for you at St John Bread & Wine served by a staff rigourously wearing work clothing.
