St. John Bread and Wine in Tower Hamlets - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Still my favourite restaurant in London after decades. Just like eating at an old friend’s house. Brought all my friends here when they visited London. I’ve always told them to order anything and everything you fancy because everything will taste great. But please save room because we will have the best madeleines in the world for dessert. Got another appreciation approval from my friend visiting from the Netherlands and she even said she would come back again next time she’s in town halfway through our dinner!

Overwhelmingly mediocre and under seasoned. Mediocre service at best. Forgot a whole entree but I was so done with the first two dishes I didn’t say anything

Back to one of my favourite restaurants in london on a quiet august weekday. The place was suitably quiet for a business lunch, service friendly and attentive. We’ve had beef tongue, seared and grilled which makes it a bit like liver -delicious. The cold beef on anchovy toast was great too. As starters, the peas were super fresh and for once I’d say there was maybe a bit too much ticklemore, a fresh goat cheese might be better? The madeleines were plentiful and the house beaujolais perfect for the occasion.

The best place in London for proper british food

We did. Walk in on my husbands birthday, and was shown to a table immediately, tables are very close, which didn’t look necessary. The restaurant itself is quite basic, no airs and graces here. Being John Torodes restaurant we were expecting the food to be at least a little bit showy, how wrong could we be! We started with the anchovies on toast, which I appreciate is quite difficult to elevate into the world of a beautiful thing, but it was literally a toasted piece of square whit bread with a scraping of anchovy paste, plonked on a white (old school type) plate, not cut, no garnish, nothing! The Welsh rarebit was the same thought process, cheese on toast-we were encouraged to ‘add’ Worcester sauce ourselves. The Shetland lamb looked like my nans Sunday lunch of yesteryear, one would guess it was from a certified TV chef, who constantly tells people to ‘present’ their food on Masterchef! Sadly the lamb went back-too chewy, and certainly not enough to feed two, not ‘rustic’ portions! The dish was ‘ok’ Certainly not ‘insta’ worthy! Never even thought of getting my camera out! Totally underwhelming, went for a curry on the way home, and must have said ‘delicious’ and mmmmm several times! John Torode? Keep it!

Here’s a copy of an email I sent with a complaint, they never responded. They also didn’t respond to my Instagram message so I’m posting here. I’ll never darken their doors again. I am writing this email as I had a rather unpleasant experience at St John Bread and Wine on Wednesday evening. I did not want to leave an online review as I have had many wonderful meals with you over the years, in fact I live just behind the restaurant. My brother and I walked in at 7pm to see if you had any tables available. We were repeatedly ignored by the maitre d, no hello, no acknowledgement of our presence, he walked past us several times while we were waiting. I can only assume that he did not like the look of us as were dressed rather scruffily as we had been moving furniture. We almost walked out but he eventually decided to speak to us and said we could come back at 7.30 ‘as that’s better for me’. We did return at 7.30 and again the guy was far from friendly. It was impossible to get his attention but eventually we ordered. After a wait of 45 minutes I asked how long our food would be only for him to angrily say ’45 minutes isn't a long time to wait’. He could have said something placatory or apologised but he didn’t. We eventually got our starters and our wine and then after a further wait I asked for the bill for what we had eaten and drunk and cancelled the main course. He was very hostile and my sense was that the rest of the staff were struggling with him too. To make things worse I forgot my hat and brother returned to get it. It was retrieved from a bin! My partner and I have spent thousands of pounds in St John Bread and Wine and your branch at Smithfield and we have always had a pleasant experience with regard to the food and the service. This experience has left a rather nasty taste in my mouth and for as long as that person continues to work there (who is simply not suited to working in hospitality) we will not return. He was hostile, judgemental and frankly an angry person. Regards

Fantastic British food. Great service. Great ambiance.

Food was mostly outstanding, and our server was the loveliest, most helpful man. Only taking off one star because one of our mains arrived long after the other and was near cold, but our server sorted it out and brought us back a hot plate. Incredible menu, could have eaten 100 madeleines. Will be back.

On walking in the place was buzzing, attractive, busy and efficient, nice atmosphere. We were there towards the end of the lunch service so several specials had run out but that didn't matter as there was plenty to choose from. The two of us ended up sharing 5 starters (they interested us more than mains) and then went on to puddings. The standout for me was the cods roe and egg, I'll be thinking about that dish for a long time, it was perfect. We went for the special of trout and potato, the mustard and dill in the potato completely overpowered the trout so that the trout may as well not have been on the plate, when asked for feedback, we said the trout was overpowered, we then received the patronising, borderline rude response from the kitchen that we needed to understand 'the dishes at St John are quite punchy'. Please, if you don't want feedback don't ask for it. The desserts were excellent, we had the special of brown bread and marmalade ice cream, buttermilk pudding and chocolate terrine, all great. Special mention to our waitress Amelie, the service was outstanding, it's great to see such knowledgeable and warm staff in restaurants who know exactly what they are talking about.

St Johns has been long on my list but my first experience here has left me questioning the hype surrounding this establishment. The service was riddled with missteps, with the side order arriving after we finished the main course. I found myself in a puzzling argument with the staff over the timing, which felt more like a defensive rebuttal than an apology. Although they made a gesture by offering to remove the item from the bill and brought some dessert wine, it barely made up for the severely disappointing meal. The flavors of the dishes were surprisingly basic and lackluster - an inexplicably overwhelming mustardy salad, a neglected rind on the baked cheese that was bitter and not palatable, and an overcooked piece of mutton with mushy peas. The bread, olives, and mussels were decent. The only redeeming element was the madeleines, which were divine—soft, warm pillows of perfection. The wine selection was commendable, but beyond that, most of the food bordered on unappetizing and mediocre.

The Hare Pie is everything. And the house wine rules.

The freshly baked madeleines smell amazing, with a wonderfully enticing buttery aroma. They have a perfectly balanced texture—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It takes about 15 minutes after ordering, but it’s absolutely worth the wait. I’m already looking forward to coming back next time to try other dishes.

Always a joy and pleasure dining here when in London!

Excellent food! Vegetarians beware though - the mains options are not that great unfortunately. Veggie starters were really good! Meat lovers will love it ✅

My all time favourite restaurant in London🐖

After ordering a meal, how long is a reasonable wait for the food to arrive? "St. John Bread and Wine" was recommended by a friend, but I have never had the opportunity to visit. After buying vinyl and taking a break in the park, I suddenly discovered that this store is next door. I ordered quail eggs, grilled spring chicken with hummus puree, and a glass of white wine. In about 15 minutes, the quail eggs are served, warm and delicious. After about 30 minutes, the spring chicken finally appeared. I thought they had forgotten the order, but they just took the first piece of meat. Oh my God, it was so delicious. It was just the perfect temperature right out of the oven. I finally understand that there is no such thing as "reasonable" in the world of cooking. The success or failure of a hero is judged by the truth. The moment you eat it is the "truth".

The best bread and wine to consume are here!

Food is exceptional and the staff were amazing. Always happy to serve and made us feel welcome. This place and it's staff have lots of class and personality

Diverse menu and good service. The chips, homemade mayonnaise, crumble and madeleines were incredible! I do think the restaurant would benefit from some light music and art on the walls as it’s a little bland.

Our third time on this restaurant, always a nice experience. Really kind, friendly and smiling staff that always ready to help you and serve you. The menu is quite diverse and different either good options. Good selection of wines too. The restaurant is cozy with a decor style very unique. Amazing food for a reasonable price. Madeleines as desserts are very special, as they made them straight away. They are very famous for that and you need to prove it. I m not a dessert person but this particular choice is a MUST! Highly recommend and definitely we will come back many times.

Truly enjoyed our dinner here! We had basement seating and Andrew was our charming server. We were the only table for a while and so we enjoyed attentive friendly, knowledgeable service. The parsnip soup was very good. We also enjoyed the rarebit, crispy pig cheek, wedge salads and the blood orange steamed sponge dessert with cream. They also make Madelines, which we took to go with us. Everything we had was of high quality and well prepared. Really enjoyed the more spare setting, as we were there for the food, which did not disappoint. Definitely a restaurant we would return to as the menu changes often.

Stopped by st johns for a couple of plates and a bottle, after years of putting st johns on a mental pedestal of greatness. It did not disappoint. Those crispy pig cheeks will haunt me, as an unattainable level of deliciousness, for a very long time. Thankyou to zell for making those couple of hours so comfortable as well as satisfying.

I LOVE LOVE this place! St John Bread and Wine is an absolute gem in London! Every time I visit, I'm blown away by the simple yet incredibly flavorful dishes. Their freshly baked bread is a must-have, perfectly crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The ambiance is relaxed and unpretentious, making it a perfect spot for a laid-back meal with friends or family. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend the best wine pairings. If you're a fan of no-nonsense, high-quality food, St John Bread and Wine is the place to be! Highly recommend!

This spot was great to have modern interpretations of "traditional" English food. I appreciated the seasonality to the dishes. I'd definitely come back.

Lovely restaurant with great food options!

Fun as always the food continues to be good and varied (asparagus and artichoke were delicious) and a nice change from chain, samey menus. Be careful as it’s not cheap and the costs can mount up if you are peckish as the portion sizes are smallish !

A somewhat simple looking restaurant but don't be deceived - this place is fantastic. The food was incredible but the white park beef was a religious experience! The service was excellent too, we had a very friendly waiter.

Sharing plates were fantastic. Eclectic selection of starter and main courses. Some unusual dishes. Check it out.

Had a really enjoyable evening. The food was superb and all so different. The service was great, particularly from Ronnie. She made it extra special.

Charge for water. Food is below average.

An exceptional meal. We had wanted to come for a while and relished everything. We had the following: - Cod's roe - Anchovy bread - White Park - Ricotta - Chocolate terrine - Sour cherry ice cream All were very good, with the cod's roe being the standout for me. The one minor gripe I have is that I think you should specify the White Park and ricotta both come on sourdough! It felt a little unnecessary (my partner commented it almost added a stodgy quality to his White Park) and definitely made the anchovy bread something we had to take home. Equally I wouldn't have ordered the anchovy bread had I known the cod's roe came with (very good) potato. Our server was absolutely delightful.

Amazing restaurant in London. We tried all sorts of typical English dishes and everything was fantastic. Waiters are super friendly and price / quality is good

Sometimes one just stumbles on a wow. On a quick work trip to London, having exhausted my fill of Indian food at Dishoom and Lahore Kebab house type excellent places, I was walking back to my hotel and felt like just a nice glass of wine and salad for dinner. I walked past this place and read their name, and since thats exactly what i wanted, walked in and and asked if I could just come in for a glass of wine and appetizer. First, was able to sit at the small bar (not realizing that this is an apparently place with reservations weeks in advance) and had the most incredible wine, unbelievable simple bread and butter, followed by pate on toast, and the most delightful service. On my list of must do in London. Apparently menu changes often.

We hired the whole venue for an event and it was a wonderful night.

British cuisine - done right. Absolutely gorgeous food, this place is an institution for a reason. Prices aren’t daft. Portions are Hearty. Service & Atmosphere are second to none. Always excited to return here 🐖 love ya St John !

Went there yesterday as this used to be my favorite restaurant in London. Was seated and never approached by the server. I sat there for probably 15 min. She even helped someone that came in after me twice while not even acknowledging me. Absolutely shocking because normally this place is nothing short of excellence. I won’t be back and I will be sure that everyone knows that service has changed here. Sorry to write this but it truly was something I never expected in this place.

A very interesting experience! Bustling and busy, I thought it may take a while to get our meals but in fact the service was efficient. Our entree of Welsh Rarebit was to be honest a bit plain, although quality was high and the bread especially nice. The highlights were the main courses - whole mackerel and whole Poussin chicken - both delectable and generous serves. St John branded house wines were good and recommended. Watching butchers bring whole carcasses through the dining area was a novelty.

Solid 4.5 stars Uniquely inventive tasty food that is not fussy. Everything we tried was delicious. Madeleines, Welsh rarebit and Shetland beef and mash were standout. Simple buzzing atmosphere, plain tables and decor. Unfussy but comfortable. Service was hit and miss. Our waitress forgot a few things and had to be asked again which is never nice. We ordered negronis and food at the same. Drinks came out when we were already halfway done with first dish. Did not keep up with rest of standard at the place

Simply amazing! There‘s nothing not to love about this place. It‘s been my third time, and it always is a fantastic experience. Love the staff, too! Cannot wait to come back again. My fave? The whipped smoked cod’s roe plus egg, and the bone marrow with parsley and capers salad. Delightful.

I simply love this place. First time I was here was 12 years ago, but I never get tired of going back.

Would deserve 6 star if that were an option! Can’t believe I waited so long to try this place out, it was one of the best meals I had in London. They change their menu every day but I’m sure the quality stays the same! Great portion sizes and amazing taste, I think the devilled mussels must be the best I ever had, and the double baked chocolate cake was to die for! The drinks were fantastic too, with an outstanding Negroni and a fruity wine from their own label! Knowing that it’s a booking for my birthday, the staff were so lovely they arranged the dessert so I can make a wish! Already planning my next dinner there!

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed when I saw the options on the menu. But oh wow was I wrong! Everything was absolutely delicious. In addition, the service was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. I do wish my server had told me that a service charge was already included in the bill. But it’s my fault for not noticing that, and she deserved the extra tip.

The best service I’ve ever had, the food was brilliant too.

Very nice restaurant. The crab is delicious. Like any restaurant in England, the wines are expensive.

No-nonsense, perfectly-paced food. The kind of fare your parents would love to eat, and you can see why. Eat something new, you won’t regret it.

Foods amazing as expected, great attentive service including a birthday candle, I'd say the only small downside is that for the Price the decor is basic l, I guess it goes with the charm of it in some way, it's all about the food, if you get a good day with a menu to your liking it's spot on... Check the menu before booking.

I had a very bad meal at St. John bread and wine. I had the artichoke and the duck chips with melted cheese. Artichoke was had a horribly texture and bitter, duck chips were good but the melted cheese didn’t act as a dip well. The Mutton main was very tough and had a cold salad being warmed by the hot sauce for the lamb , which also didn’t clinge to the meat. Bread pudding dessert was great tho

Excellent food and value for money. Good wine list! Careful with air-conditioning, the big aircons that on the wrong day may really hit you ;)

Our choice goes to this 'modern traditional' restaurant as defined by the Michelin guide. Simple place, well frequented, fast service, the waiters are kind, the maitre is kind but not too much (ready to correct any pronunciation defects of us Italians). The starters are good and at the same time simple, perhaps a little too simple... The courses are appreciable, prepared with good quality ingredients and without too many frills. The only flaw found is in the service of the wine which is brought to the table directly in the glass and is not poured from the bottle. Overall, a good experience that I recommend to anyone who wants to dine in a non-touristy place.

Amazing food, a relaxed casual atmosphere and some of the best food I've eaten in London. I will return and try that marmalade ice-cream!

Everything about this place is great. Every detail of the restaurant has clearly been thought about — it may appear simple and understated but that is absolutely the point. It’s about great service and great food (and wine of course!). This is a must visit if you’re in London. Props to all the staff and the chefs, they’ve got their service on lock down. I love seeing a well practiced team in action.

really great cuisine and imagination of how to use non-traditional ingredients 🚀

We had family dinner in this lovely place. Everything was great. We can realy recommend you to eat here!!!! Only one surprise was with pigeon-it came almost raw but later the chef finished it and fixed it to eatable version-thanks🙏🏼 The highlight for us was Bread pudding and butterscotch sauce!!! So yummy!!! Must have it!!!! Place is busy so booking the table is necessary during weekend.

Excellent food, very nice cafe/casual vibe

Really liked the relaxed vibe and interior. All the dishes were very tasty and different, a special concept. The coffee cheeks were absolutely delicious! The Mackerel with potato salad also very good. Everything was good but too salty, some things to the point that we couldn’t eat them. Worth the experience overall!

Extremely overrated, average food at a high price. Only gets hype because it’s different.

Cute spot for a date night that doesn’t feel pretentious, although the service was a bit slow. The lamb, dressed crab, and smoked cod row were stand outs. The madeleines were phenomenal and cannot be missed.

Amazing menu and team. We had a nice selection of the small plates and 2 of the large to share with a side and was shocked that our bill with drinks was so reasonable. For the quality of food and service I feel we got a bargain. Will be back as soon as I can. Defo worth the trip down from the midlands

I do like this brand, we had a lovely meal for lunch today. Friendly kind and caring service. Really nothing to fault. A recommendation that is given without reservation.

Amazing relaxed atmosphere and incredible food. Very simple but different and absolutely delicious.

My wife and I had a marvelous late Sunday Roast at St John Bread and Wine. The house wine was reasonably priced and raised our spirits while we waited for some unique modern British dishes including mackerel with pickled cabbage, lamb hearts, and a delightful kohlrabi dish. We finished with the madeleines for desert. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The environment is intimate, with my only complaint being the noisy acoustics.

Amazing service Sublime food (personal favs were mutton & the chicken liver on toast🤤) Great vibes Divine negronis A hell of an experience, all in all.

Always a very high standard , great food . love that Eccles cake with Lancashire cheese !!

I don’t usually cry at a restaurant but when tasting the food at St John’s I got emotional. Enjoy.

Good vibe in this bright minimalist room. Friendly waiting staff. Interesting menu, best bit today was the pate 👏 Always something different to try.

My friend and I had a gorgeous meal yesterday evening, particular highlights were the lamb’s tongue and the rhubarb panna cotta. The host was friendly and efficient and our waitress (with the tooth gem) was great! My only feedback was that I prefer a negroni in a smaller glass with less ice but that’s personal preference. Can’t wait to come again, always a treat.

Food kind a bit hit or miss, especially given the prices. Pigeon was quite dry, but bread pudding was great. Also I understand serving dishes whenever they’re ready as we were sharing everything, but they wanted to give the side dishes after we had already been served all the mains and when asked explained the concept again in a standoffish weird tone. Don’t really appreciate that, weird vibe.

The staff really need to learn more about the wines they have - spoke to two people who weren’t able to give me the profile of the wines on their list. Or recommend something beyond a clear haphazard guess which was so apparent.

This a temple to great food. It can get a little noisy, but it’s worth it.

Deliciously tasty down to earth food. We really enjoyed the beetroot and the chickpea starters. The sweetbreads, trotter and bacon were cooked in a deeply satisfying sauce. Delicious rabbit saddle. I loved the madeleines. Can you open in Ludlow please?

A lovely, almost nostalgic restaurant; we went there because of a recent UTube feature. The food was overall 'good' not excellent and in some cases quite wonderful but overall, we left with a feeling of paying too much for too little food. Two small pieces of mutton on a bone at £24 was a gentle rip-off; same for the pigeon we had. The tongue we had was overcooked. Wine - if you are going to pay £10.95 for a glass of wine it must not come from a bottle opened how many days before; the wine had oxidised and that is inexcusable and downright wrong. The staff were lovely but the restaurant needs to give careful consideration to how much do they want to push the ceiling of value for money for food presented and the quality. The final bill was expensive and for that level of bill you need super quality and you don't get that. That all said, there were plenty of diners so maybe they won't bother upping their game.

Excellent nose to tail dining. St John continues to lead the movement and after many years remains innovative. Delicious food, excellent service and a very good wine list.

Had a beaut meal here, really buzzy and service and food was excellent

Traditional food, well cooked and delicious. Was a nice setting for lunch with an old friend.

Cool restaurant with nice food and a cool, rustic minimalist interior. Service was mostly good but occasionally a little awkward or distracted; counterpoint the food runner was maybe the sweetest person I've met in London and the bartender makes a perfect vesper martini. Some dishes were a little bland (eg a boring terrine) while others sang (an amazing crab legs). Worth a visit.

Attentive staff, relaxed atmosphere and lovely food. Couldn’t wish for more.

British cooking! Hearty and Wholesome. Enjoy

Perfect for casual dining, definitely worth a visit

Take the best home cooking you've ever had and stick a turbo charger on it. Lovely atmosphere, nice staff, just the right mix of noise - where you can still have a conversation, but you feel part of a bigger whole. Food arrived quickly, especially as they were busy.

Devilled crab and sweetbreads were exceptional. As were the madeleine's and pavlova. Portions were bigger than expected. The staff really made sure we were happy and were generous with their time and knowledge.

Very good new food ideas, price is great, i will come back. Impeccable service

Amazing food, every single dish as spot on. The most amazing ‘chips’ and Welsh Rarebit as a side is wonderful. Service a little varied. Our wine only arrived when the head waiter asked if we wanted drinks. Highly recommended.

We came here on the assumption that bone marrow was on the evening menu. Excited we came early for dinner rez. Not. The manager on duty sat for a chat as we enjoyed our wine. This was one of AB’s fav stops back in the day for its unique nose to tail dining ethos. Did I I say ethos? Wat? The manager was kind enough to transfer our rez to St John Restaurant by Smithfield Market. Much appreciated. So off we walked. Thank youse 🤙🏼

A really delicious & delightful evening. Came for a birthday meal with my boyfriend after us both wanting to go here for years. We originally had a booking at the Smithfield restaurant but got a notification a week earlier that it was still under renovation and were offered an alternative reservation at any of their other restaurants - this ended up being fine LUCKILY but as a shift worker I would’ve been pretty gutted if I wasn’t available any other time as I got time off work specially etc etc, so my only point of complaint is that it would’ve been great if we were notified of this earlier in advance if possible. On arrival we got a complimentary glass of Prosecco on which was very thoughtful! Also the restaurant is BYOB which i think is great. We went for crispy pig skin (absolutely DELICIOUS but we thought a touch too mustardy), bone marrow salad, mutton (so so tender and juicy), lambs heart (OUTSTANDING), Welsh rarebit (WOW) and green salad as sides, and 6 of the best madelines I’ve ever had in my life for dessert. Which they put a candle in :) the madelines are literally baked fresh to order so come piping hot and are actually to die for. Our waiter was great, it was a busy evening and we had to ask for some water and for our wine to be uncorked a couple of times before it was done, but this didn’t detract at all. He was very attentive, friendly and funny and if anything this just made the pace of our dinner lovely and slow. We were really hanging about savouring the evening and were one of the last tables to leave at closing time and we weren’t rushed out at all. All in all a fabulous bday meal - thank you so much!!

the food and service were absolutely amazing, with a very laid back atmosphere

The food here is unusual and incredibly well prepared - simply magnificent. We ordered three or four smaller plates and shared them as starters, then did the same for mains. Everything was excellent. Highly recommended.

Bon restaurant britannique et accueil chaleureux. Les portions restent toutefois assez petites par rapport au prix.

It is a great place for lunch or dinner in central London. The food has been outstanding and their sourdough served with the food is a joy to eat. It is worth to try and share several different starters that are alwasy creative. I have never been disappointed going there.

I Had been looking forward to going to St John's for as long as I can remember. It surpassed my expectaions. It's how we should all eat. Thank you to all. x

Smaller dishes were decent .. Would stay away from the dry leathery 25£ beef tongue

Very small plates, some dishes poorly executed, generally disappointing and over priced

Perfectly pitched relaxed service. No upselling and reasonable prices. All super tasty and a very enjoyable meal. Can’t fault it. Odd that few other restaurants achieve this balance. I particularly liked seeing the going off shift staff enjoying a drink. They looked like they enjoy working here.

Casual dining. Excellent original food, smart service, and great atmosphere.

✔️ Food, Menu, Atmosphere, personality ❓Donuts Lovely British classic/eccentric vibe and food and drinks are always amazing. Place for grownups. Menu changes often and I have loved every bite of every dish I have ever tried here. Great for both lunch and dinner. I must mention, I so, so miss their bacon sandwich. That and black coffee there on the counter was my favourite breakfast in London 💫 Also, their doughnuts were amazing. The right balance of jam (x2 tbs?) and dough. I’ve had one from the one in Covent Garden but that one had too much jam, 1/3 jam and staff there said that was the standard. Worth checking with the staff before buying if you are a fusspot🙃

It was my second time at the St Johns restaurants, have been to 2 different locations. I was not impressed with the food, the dishes were quite exotic (which is an attractive thing for me) but it was too grease and difficult to finish. Unfortunately was not a pleasant experience. The service was great and the ambience as well. I had the selection of the wine they proposed and it was great too!

The #1 restaurant in London. An institution. If you don’t know. Now, you know.

We had a fantastic time! We stopped in to share a few plates. We had the pigeon, Welsh rarebit, grilled sardines, flowering broccoli with sheep's curd, and crispy pig bits. The service and food were top-notch.

Fantastic service and great food. Beautiful restaurant and brilliant atmoshpere.

Love the service, adore the food and the simplicity of presentation. It's a small but comprehensive list of beverages. I miss these kinds of places, time seems to have stopped, it in truth seems like it is fast-forwarding to a future where origin and quality matters more than easy access and readymade.
