Farmer J St James’s in City of London, Westminster

i was really craving lots and lots of veggies and this totally hit the spot! (i got mac and cheese, mushroom and winter veg?, and another salad that i don’t exactly remember) sure it was pricey for £9.25 but so is…pret and all the other lunch spots where the food is not nearly as fresh

I went for 3 hours trial shift and unfortunately it was a bad experience. No assistant manager and General Manager asked me about myself and my experience. They just invited me for timepass. After 2 days I got an email that your interview has been cancelled but how it could be possible when i already did 3 hours trial shift but I think they are not doing their job properly so its better to them resign so another person can get chance. I would like to give in minus rating but it is not possible.

No Gluten free dishes were available

Tasty, good service, well-priced

Got lunch from here on a working day. There was a really long queue outside, but moved very fast. It seemed to be a really popular place, and if I had more time I would have liked to sit inside to enjoy my lunch. The markdown on food is because a tiny pot of extra sauce was 50p! I would have expected a lot more for 50p. The extra sauce must have been just a spoon-full. The choices of salads and bowls are good and offer a good mix of greens and protein. Good location too just off St James Park.

Fresh salads and farm to table style food for healthier work lunchtime breaks.

Gluten-free options and very good prices

Delicious and abundant takeaway food. Close to ST James park where you can enjoy the atmosphere and food.

I got the kale miso side salad and it was good. The service was friendly and helpful.

I go here every time I’m in London. And often times more than once. If it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a coffee and pastry the food is great and very reasonably priced.

Delicious breakfast 😋 a little bit too loud music. The rest is very good!

Delicious self service restaurant with a nice atmosphere and good vegan options.

"Farmer J at St James's Park is conveniently located near our hotel, which was a big plus. However, unfortunately, the overall impression of the cafe remained average. The food was not amazing: the dishes seemed ordinary and did not stand out as anything special. Despite the large number visitors, the queues moved quickly, which was one of the few positive aspects. Overall, I do not plan to return here again."

The team makes you feel comfortable, they always try and remember you even though they have over 1000 people visiting on daily basis. Thank you for being in our community!

Great food fast service lovely ambiance and reasonable. Have been here handful of time. Keep up the good work Farmer J.

Fantastic tasty food at very reasonable prices. The menu allows you to choose a base of brown rice, farmers seed or spinach. To the base you add a main course which for me was the Seasonal Mac & Cheese, for my partner he chose the Curry Tofu. To the base and main you are asked to add 2 sides which for both of us was the Cauliflower and Broccoli. Fantastic flavors and very fresh food. Overall, quality food.

Very tasty but healthy food and good value as well.

2024: a farmer-supporting organization is quite delicious

Very nice lunch, in and out quick.

Very good meal, I loved my dish! Perfect value for money! Fresh product for 9 euros each.

Constant line of working professionals eating here for lunch, but moved very quickly. Online ordering was quick and the food was delicious.

Stumbled across this when looking for somewhere to have a quick pre-theatre supper, with vegans, in Westminster. Perfect! Like McDonalds, only with delicious, freshly prepared food! We liked the cauliflower side in particular, we've all been googling the recipe!

Can’t say enough good things about this place. The food is great both at breakfast & lunch that you feel like you’ve had a filling healthy meal. Coffee is also great & the staff are so nice, attentive & efficient. Don’t let the large lunch time queue put you off - you’ll be in and out within 10 minutes

This place has gone downhill massively

Tiny portions now for the prices. Beware: they also stopped with the free coffee for Victoria card holders during lunch?!?!?

🛑Avoid this place🛑 All staff walking around. they do not respond to the delivery rider for collection.

Spacious and spotless lunch place in very central London. Despite the location the prices are reasonable, they run a tight ship so you can get served very quickly from a rotating variety of world cuisine dishes that are delicious and with enough nuance in spices to beat your usual quick lunch joint.

Fast food and therefore what we are going for. I value the service better because of the treatment that the employees gave us, in terms of information and help. They prepare it for you on the spot to take away or eat there.

Perfect cozy place. Nice food. Cauliflower amazing.

This was the most memorable eating experience of our vacation. Not because its sofistication, but because its simplicity anda beauty. Topu was amazing. Anda the have sustainable practices,lise single use Woods utensils. Loved the whole thing.

Nice and correct to have something quickly for breakfast but there are better options in central London to choose from. Price is ok though.

A good price-performance ratio. If you are looking for an alternative to the classic street food burgers, pizza and others, this is a good choice. Being able to eat on the go and eat well. I appreciated the wide choice of vegetables offered, steamed, raw in salads, hot, cold... for all tastes.

Always my experience in this place is so good!

The place is spacious and you can find a place to sit down but the food wasnt good. Salads seemed old and overall not the best taste

We have just spent a few days in London with our grand children and found Farmer J by accident. We loved it so much we kept going back. The food was excellent. It was great to find a place that provides such healthy food . The variety is superb and we enjoyed trying the different dishes. We hope to go back to London and will be certainly going back to Farmer J. Wish we had Farmer J up here

Good food; incredibly rude service.

Enjoyed the meal, fun to have bento like plate.

Got SEVERE POISONING when ordered from that place . This was the only meal I ate that day. Part of the sizes were burnt , of course I did not eat it. It must have been meat or rice , or tahini aubergine. This poisoning was worse than being sick from shellfish. Never again . So many ingredients, they probably don’t control well the hygiene, washing practices or freshness of what is on display. Maybe don’t throw away what is left end of the day ..

Great place for a quick and healthy lunch. Fresh produce, very tasty. Good value for a money. Highly recommended.

I stopped in here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. This is akin to chipotle with different food, but the concept is the same. I thought the food was very fresh and it tasted great. I got the chicken with the sweet potatoes and Mac and cheese. The price was reasonable for what you received and I really can’t complain. I’d visit this chain again if I visit the area again.

Very bright and spacious, healthy foods and friendly staff. I like the restaurent style and menu.

Good discovery. Affordable place, with good food.

Great restaurant! Healthy and hearty dishes, you will be full when you leave. Top quality/price ratio 👍🏼

I had the harissa habibi bowl and it was honestly better than I was expected. The salted caramel cookie was absolutely horrendous, gummy, flavourless and expensive. I can't believe they are selling something so terrible. The employees are rude and the tables were all quite dirty. The harissa chicken was really good though. I can only recommend that.

Rudest staff you will ever see. Incapable woman leading the staff. Unhygienic handling of products by everyone. Products are not washed and everyone touches the products on each tray with bare hands. Shocked by these peoples behaviours.

Food great, service lets it down. Unfriendly staff

Ordered a bento and chose mac & cheese and sweet potato, which are good, but aubergine is a bit too greasy. Base is farmer J grains which is okay. Overall the taste is good but not as healthy as I expected 😂 but will visit again to try more options. (Second visit) love the salmon and sweet potatoes again 🤣

Rapidly declining value for money I have been visiting Farmer J at least 3 times a week since it opened in Victoria last year. Sadly, the quality of the food and size of the portions has been on a gradual decline, leaving me to now sadly consider taking my business elsewhere. Portion size: within the first 6 months of opening, the food portions were generous, which meant value for money was just about OK (given you tend to pay £10-12 for what tends to be a very simple meal). Since the turn of the year, the portions have been getting laughably small - to the extent there are now gaps on the prison-like cardboard tray. We have queried this a few times with the workers (in the most part are very friendly and happy to help!), who begrudgingly added a smidge more rice to the tray. Food quality: the meat has declined in quality. It is rubbery, and often not hot despite the staff putting new portions under the lights regularly. In addition, the sweet potato is now rancid. I suspect there has been a change in the oil used to cook them… would not recommend. Would like this place to turn around (there are only few adequate lunch spots in Victoria), although it’s becoming more challenging to remain loyal.

It’s the best place to eat healthy. Who says British food isn’t tasty? Give it a try.

I wish this concept and quality was implemented more broadly across the country, and I'm happy that during the lunchtime there is usually a long line of customers there. A very good place.

Attended yesterday and there was no macaroni in the macaroni dish! It was like a cheese and peas soup instead! I pointed this out to the staff and then the manager, after the staff insisted the dish had macaroni but the peas were runny! The manager, who said her name was Giselle, acknowledged there was no pasta in the dish. When I asked how long for a new dish of macaroni, she abruptly stated there would be no more macaroni available for the entire day! I felt like she was annoyed with me for pointing this issue out and was being unhelpful on purpose. She never apologized for the inconvenience and was indifferent and dismissive instead. I was most disappointed in the poor service. Matters were made worse that I had travelled an hour into London with family to eat at Farmer J.

This is a nice cafe for some coffee and breakfast. Lots of food on offer, from oats to sandwiches to super food. Just order with the staff behind the glass and follow the queue to the beverage line and then followed by the cashier. I had fresh avocado on sourdough and the servings of avo is pretty generous. There are a lot of table available and I saw quite a number of working adults just sitting there having their breakfast while working on their laptop. Found the high table seats just in front of the full glass window extra therapeutic especially on a rainy London day.

It's a great place. Shame the servers a not as committed to service as you'd like them to be. During quieter times ( not lunch) the staff appear very disinterested and the service reminds me of "canteen" servers, not happy, just going through the motions of service. The quality of food in the evening reflects this. Lunch time the food is fresh and staff seem energetic at dinner time the food sat under the hotplate for far too long, overcooked and tired (the staff and the food). I've eaten here often enough to say that's a fair review of my personal experience.

Farm J in St. James boasts an excellent location, accommodating staff, and delectable cuisine. It's also pet friendly 😋

First impression was ok, but the portion of the meat is small and way too oily.. which is not healthy!

Many food options, taste is great. Queue goes very fast as well. They seem to have obviously started to reduce the portion sizes in the last weeks.

I was introduced by a work colleague and the food was amazing! The queue was not long at all and the menu was very easy to read. I ordered a field tray, which consists of a base, main and two sides; I chose grains, harissa chicken, mac n cheese and the kale salad (the croutons was the best part!). I paid £10.50 and it was definitely worth it. They also have various baked treats which looked delicious. I will definitely be returning very soon and will dine in next time !

Great quality food at reasonable price

The food from here was really nice, had a bit of a wait for my meal but wasn't the worst. Premium London prices but I expected that. Overall worth a luxury lunch every so often.

Amazing food( fresh healthy and affordable)staff ,ambience..... Just perfect.Went for breakfast and lunch yesterday,and returning for breakfast today .( staying for 2 nights in London)

Great place to pick up a quick morning breakfast. Healthy, quick and good value for London. The shakshuka bowl is a real winner! Only bit of feedback is the coffees are left a little lacking here - so maybe ask for a double shot if you need that kick.

The food is tasty but the quality of the product needs improvements. The service as well needs to improve for certain individuals that you can encounter. Not many vegan options available

Not open when it’s supposed to be - rude staff!

Found this place by chance, and we had lunch here. The food is so tasty and the prices are great.

Perfect food at an affordable price. Excellent atmosphere and pleasant service. I recommend.

Disappointed that they only have to-go cups. Food and drinks are good but expensive. Good place to work on a laptop but it gets very busy around lunch time and it's cold inside.

Delicious Food 🥘 Reasonable price ✅

Excellent choices for healthy fast food

Very good food. I ll definetly come back.

I love harissa chicken here! It’s such a nice and inexpensive lunch option!

Basically out of food by 6:15pm on a Saturday. Not sure if the hours are correct.

Everything was either undercooked or hard in texture. It all looked way better than it tasted.

Savouring a surprisingly decent lunch tray at Farmer J in London was a delightful midday experience. The tray featured a harmonious combination of brown rice, charred flank steak, and vibrant greens, creating a satisfying and well-balanced meal. The unexpected culinary delight made my lunch break a memorable and enjoyable moment in the bustling city.

For a dine in or takeaway 'fast food' - peaceful atmosphere and decent hearty food. Usually share a tray with the other half for a light lunch. Recommend the Harissa Chicken

Used to go 2-3 times a week. But the portions are getting so small, it is not worth it anymore. Food still tastes good though

A hidden gem for health food enthusiasts, impressed me with their exceptional service. Despite placing a substantial order, the staff's dedication shone through in the timely delivery and the evident care taken in preparing each dish. A small restaurant with big flavors and even bigger commitment to customer satisfaction. Highly recommend! :)

Coffee was really good, tea was ok, caramel cookie was tasty, white chocolate-pistachio cookie nothing for me. Ambience is really nice and spacious. Facilities ok and staff friendly. We didn’t try the food.

I love Farmer J but had a terrible experience when I found a bug in my food, reported it to management and they were incredibly rude. Never again.

Super quality and flavours, great breakfast deals too.

I discovered here, the ideal stop for the long morning route through London: good food for all familly, pleasant atmosphere, modern and sufficient space, airy, enough seats, good prices and a smiling staff!

The new best spot for a quick lunch! Their salads are just amazing and fresh. So many times I have been looking for a healthy and quick lunch but could never found one which is actually good and with great ingredients. I really love their mixed grains, harissa chicken and miso aubergines or beansprouts. Could only recommend!

Cold steak. That is what I got. I mentioned to them and they added some warm steaks on top of cold one. I used to enjoy this dish but now I will never go back

Restaurant où on mange bien, équilibré Choix correcte Prix pour un repas avec boisson et dessert 34€

Loved this place. The chicken was delish. Tasty & wholesome. They handled my gluten allergy with care!

Great little spot, delicious food and fab fast and friendly service. It’s giving; chic-er improved independent Leon. A request to make the menu even better - could you please add an Egg & Smoked Salmon Cob/Bap to the breakfast menu please? You have smoked salmon in the kitchen and use it in other items, but don’t offer this as an option. Lots of us don’t eat Bacon for various health / cultural reasons so I’m sure it’d be very popular! I’d happily pay a little more for this option 😀

You could pay £8ish quid for an additive-laden sandwich and some crisps at the ubiquitous chain next door, or £10ish at FJ’s and feel full and satisfied. It’s great value!

food not hot, perhaps because it is near daily closure time

Naprosto vynikajici poke!!! Vyber ze 4 variant, ale muzete si tam namichat co chcete, ruzne druhy mas, zeleniny a lustenin. Za 7e fajnova chalecka. Bylo to tak dobre ze mi skoro vse snedla pritelkyne😂

The food is fresh, healthy and wholesome. It reminded me of Dig In from NYC but this is significantly better and affordable. A must if you want something healthy, fresh, filling and not too expensive.

An English Macca's, with more options and a cut above.

Salmon could have been tastier, and I love hard broccoli but it was a little hard even for me.

Un lugar hermoso, comida saludable y deliciosa

The hand drier in the bathroom was immaculate. ACTUALLY DRIED MY HANDS. Plus! They had hand lotion. Girlfriend said my hands were silky soft. Food was also good.

Für London ein top Preis Leistung Verhältnis. Es hat super geschmeckt.

Bizarre. Slow service, unclear queueing system, ordering iPads not working, seem to open for large parts of the day without any food available at those times.

Delicious and wholesome food! Really good selection for everyone. There was a queue but it went down quickly. Plenty of indoor seating. Will be back!

One of my favourite places to stop for breakfast or a takeaway lunch. All fresh ingredients, friendly staff and a spacious environment to sit and decompress. Brownies melt in your mouth, coffee is good, porridge and yogurts are tasty and the right size.

Beautiful food, very friendly and helpful staff, Dominica the operation manager was excellent. We will be back on our next visit to the amazing city of London. Thank you Francisco and Lyn from Worthing West Sussex

Very impressed by this place. Good selection of vegan options in addition to other foods. Even when super busy the staff were polite and efficient and by virtue of how the food is prepared it was fast too. The food was some of the best I've had comprised mostly of simple non processed ingredients

Good service but ran out of bacon and eggs rolls!
