St John Bread & Wine - possibly the best bacon sandwich in the world


There are bacon sandwiches and then there's the St John Bread & Wine bacon sandwich. I’ll preface this by stating that I’m aware that it’s just a bacon sandwich; that it’s not going to bring the country out of recession or win us a gold medal in the heptathlon.  However, if you are a human being with working tastebuds it may well change your life nevertheless. 

If you have so far lived life in a world of soggy bread, stringy bacon and greasy meat at breakfast time then The St John Bread & Wine bacon sandwich is going to blow your mind.  You can leave all your preconceptions about this humble piece of breakfast fare at the doorstep because this creation achieves the perfect balance of meaty, saucy and bready – and that’s no mean feat.



Two thick fresh doorsteps of white bloomer toasted on a chargrill and expertly buttered with just the right amount of dairy. I’m not even going to indulge the low fat campaigners who eshew butter for a low fat spread or just ketchup - you can't have a bacon sandwich without butter, end of. The bacon is of course the star of the show - a generous portion of perfectly grilled Old Spot, delivered at just the right amount of thickness and meaty juiciness. On the side, home made tomato ketchup of the like that would make a Heinz bottle blush – these guys know how to finish a dish.

Throw in two brutally strong lattes with perfect creamy consistency and you won't find a better way to set yourself up for the day.
