We were served by Tomos who was an absolutely outstanding host.
My partner and I have been watching Will & Jack on the Fallow YouTube channel for a while now and as big foodies it was at the top of our places to visit.
The atmosphere hits you as soon as you walk in, the staff are super friendly and welcoming and there’s a real buzz about the place. It’s classy but not pretentious, you feel welcomed and at ease straight away.
We booked the Chef’s table and my God it didn’t disappoint. You’re at the front and centre of the kitchen and it’s absolutely incredible to see the pace and precision that the kitchen team work to.
Tomos introduced himself and talked us through the food and drinks menus whilst offering some great suggestions. He was a genuinely nice guy who was super knowledgeable about the products and dishes, he helped us choose our order and explained how the dishes would arrive, we then sat back and enjoyed the atmosphere of the kitchen, mesmerised by the skill of the chefs in front of us.
Shortly after our drinks arrived which was very quickly followed up by the first of our dishes. The stand-outs were easily the Mushroom Parfait which is an absolute flavour bomb, the Cod’s head which was a real experience, the burger which is up there with some of the best in London and also the Chelsea Tart which is just indulgently delicious.
We couldn’t recommend this place enough and now have a very special memory of dining here, we will absolutely be back. Thank you Tomos for making it so memorable.
Yes it's moderately loud. Yes it's busy. Yes it might take a minute to get all your food. Yes if you order a lot it is pricy. All of those critiques are valid, but I will hopefully get the opportunity to return.
First of all, shout out to Nick and Louis for just making this a perfect dinner start to finish. The jokes were only matched by the phenomenal service the whole time.
The Octopus crumpet was a highlight and the Cod's Head is enormous. I highly reccomend the tart for dessert as it tastes just like Butterscotch Pie. Honeslty, I loved every dish and they were all unique.
Thanks again for the wonderful meal
We visited Fallow for dinner on our last night in London, and it was easily one of our favourite dining experiences of the trip. The food is incredible and the staff l made the evening so fun and entertaining.
We sat at the bar, where we were warmly greeted and kept thoroughly entertained by Rosa and Juniper. Their energy set the perfect tone for the rest of the evening.
Our server, Lauren, was an absolute star. She was incredibly attentive and made excellent recommendations like the Lamb Pie special, which was rich, flavourful, and a total must-try. We also highly recommend the Beef and Oyster Tartar and the Confit Potato. The presentation of both the food and the cocktails was stunning.
To top it all off, our sommelier Alex guided us toward a delicious orange wine that paired beautifully with our meal.
The atmosphere is electric, the food is rich and delicious, and the staff are very attentive and friendly. Thank you to Lauren, Alex, Rosa, and Juniper for making our last night in the city so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!
I recently visited Fallow and had an exceptional dining experience. The restaurant’s commitment to nose-to-tail and root-to-fruit cooking is not just a concept—it is executed with incredible precision and flavor.
The Highlights:
Sourdough: An absolute must-order. The bread was perfectly charred with an incredible crust and a soft, tangy interior.
Mushroom Parfait: This is rightfully one of their signature dishes for a reason. It is incredibly rich, savory, and nuanced—an absolute triumph of vegetarian cooking that even the most dedicated carnivores will love.
Beef Tartare: Perfectly seasoned and balanced, with a great texture that really highlighted the quality of the ingredients.
The Sunday Roast (Pork & Beef): We tried both, and they were standouts. The meats were cooked perfectly, tender and packed with flavor, served with all the classic trimmings elevated to a fine-dining level.
Everything from the atmosphere to the service was polished, warm, and inviting. It’s rare to find a place that is so conscious about sustainability while still delivering such high-impact, indulgent food.
If you are looking for one of the best Sunday roasts in London, look no further. Highly recommended!
Our group had an incredible dinner at Fallow. We loved the atmosphere at our table, which was at the conservatory. There, our host Manisha took such incredible care of us! She answered the many questions we had and gave incredible recommendations about what and how much to order.
The dinner itself was incredible! We loved how easy it was to share and sample multiple menu items like the pork chop and ribeye which came pre-cut for easy sharing.
All in all, this is a must-visit restaurant in a great location of London. Be sure to make a reservation as it seemed very busy!
