"St. John's restaurant was possibly the worst restaurant meal I have ever had in England. And it was on the last night of my visit. I had hoped to have a good meal to celebrate my trip, but this ended my trip on a sour note. For dinner I ordered Potteed Shrimp, braised lamb shank and a class of Merlot. The potted shrimp consisted of tiny canned shrimp that looked as though they were cooked three days before and were in a greasy butter souplike fluid. They were disgusting. The lamb shanks also we're obviously cooked several days before, they were totally dried out and flavorless and served in a thick gravy that tasted instant and very salty. The shanks were served with mashed potatoes that were gluey. They tasted as though they may have been instant potatoes. And for some reason there were raw branches of Rosemary stuck in them. I barely ate any of the shrimp or the lamb, or the potatoes… And yet the server, who looked as though he was 18 years old, never asked if there was anything wrong. Even the class of wine was horrible. It tasted like it came from a bottle of €2 wine from the ASDA. The ambience was very 1960s… And not in a good way.I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone for any reason. The only positive remark I have to say is that I did not become ill after eating the food. The sad note is that after I left I walked passed what looked like a fabulous restaurant where I could have gone to actually have a great last night dinner."
