Madeleines

Madeleines from the oven, brought warm by the half-dozen. Order them with the mains so they land with the last plate.

From St John Bread and Wine's own menu and pages, as we read them in October 2026.

Plates from the day's menu to share

St John Bread and Wine

British · Spitalfields

94-96 Commercial Street, London E1 6LZ

Fergus Henderson's Spitalfields outpost, with its own bakery at the back and a nose-to-tail menu dated daily. The bakery is our reason.

We'd add

Eccles cake and Lancashire cheese

An Eccles cake, currant-filled pastry, with a wedge of Lancashire cheese. To share after the madeleines.

Same plate, other kitchens

Roast bone marrow: which one?
