How important was the idea of the in house bakery to the initial concept of St John? Was it something you knew you wanted to do and make a feature of when you thought about setting up your own restaurant, or did it arise when you settled on the premises?

The bakery was always a vital element of what St. John was going to be.

When taking lunch you have your knife and fork and your bread...a vital tool in the consumption of food.

So, from the off, being such a fundamental it would have been peculiar not to bake at St. John.

Also, what a joy to bake one's own loaf!

Thank you for your question Andy.
