Restaurant St Barts

Restaurant St Barts was opened in 2022 by long-time collaborators Johnnie Crowe, Luke Wasserman and Toby Neill, the team behind Nest and later Fenn. Conceived as a more ambitious and higher-end project than their previous restaurants, it brought the trio to Clerkenwell, close to the former Smithfield Market and overlooking St Bartholomew the Great church.

Crowe oversees the kitchen, with the restaurant built around a tasting menu format focused on British produce and small-scale suppliers from across the UK. The food centres on seasonal ingredients sourced from farmers, growers and conservationists across the British Isles.

Dinner begins in the restaurant's bar area before guests move into the main dining room for a multi-course tasting menu typically between two and three hours long, with a shorter one-hour lunch menu available during the week. The cooking is positioned around refined British dishes that place an emphasis on sourcing, seasonality and ingredient provenance.

Sustainability also informs the interiors, with furniture made from fallen London plane trees by local woodworker Archie Faber. Bespoke tableware is produced in-house by co-founder Luke Wasserman alongside ceramicists including Adrian Gonzales, whose work draws inspiration from the British coastline.
