Deal in celebration of 30th anniversary of founding of Michelin-starred pioneer sells out on day of launch
It was a deal too good to miss so when Michelin-starred London restaurant St John offered diners the chance to eat celebrated fare such as roast bone marrow and apricots on toast at a fraction of the usual cost they bit its proverbial arm off.
The feted restaurant, founded by Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver, caused a virtual stampede on Thursday as it opened bookings for its 30th anniversary celebrations when it has vowed to recreate its 1994 menus but, crucially, selling favourites such as crispy fried pig tail and eel, bacon and mash at their original prices.
