Cinder - St John's WoodB+

5 St John's Wood High St, London NW8 7NG · Restaurant · St. John's Wood

Creative grill-led neighborhood spot delivering standout salmon, lamb, and triple-cooked potatoes with occasionally uneven service and premium pricing.

Our take

Cinder delivers exceptional food quality anchored by signature cedar plank salmon and triple-cooked potatoes that earn repeated praise, but inconsistent execution and variable service attentiveness prevent it from reaching grade A territory. The stylish setting with kitchen counter seating and terrace appeal makes it a solid neighborhood favorite, though service rigidity and modest portions for premium pricing temper the overall experience. Worth visiting for the grill-forward Mediterranean cooking, but expect occasional unevenness.

One caveat: Service variability: several reports of slow billing, seating rigidity, and occasional rudeness, though many visits are warmly served
