The rabbit was better but not great. And they don’t do the welsh rarebit here which is half the reason you go to St. Johns.

Scribe…How about the Welsh Rarebit? Did they not have that as an option for you? They do a great Welsh Rarebit.

Chick: Alas, prices are about equal at both locales.

Their speciality (and indeed logo), a whole suckling pig was ordered for the party.

This was very impressive and, by all accounts, delicious. As a vegetarian however, I had the only veggie option, a plate of couscous with some goats cheese on top. Guess what my vegan neighbour had!

Thought the vibe in there was good though.

The first time I had a great experience, the second time I had pigs cheeks and they were fatty and not quite so tasty.

Nice ingredients cooked very simply and overcharged for, in my opinion.
