Had a great experience at Fallow. The food was delicious, and my favorite dish was definitely the burrata—it was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The tart was also absolutely delicious.
The best part of the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive, but Maya truly stood out. She was incredibly kind, professional, and made us feel so welcome. Her service made our visit even more special.
I’d definitely come back and highly recommend it!
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!

Having heard about this restaurant and seen some of their videos on YouTube, I booked a kitchen counter seat months ahead knowing we were travelling to the UK. We were warmly received and seated at a temporary table while our seats were liberated by the previous couple. After 10 minutes we were seated at the counter overlooking the busy kitchen. Our waitress Aston was sweet and attentive and we enjoyed talking with Elena who was busy preparing mushroom parfaits in front of us. When I inquired what that was, she offered us a small taste which was generous and delicious. Giacomo who was the "gimme a tour fairs" kept checking in on us and was making sure we were happy. Such a pleasant young lad and keeping up with the excellent service we received throughout our meal. I must say that for a restaurant this busy and "trendy," they didn’t miss a beat and never let us feel like we were just another body. We felt so well taken care of and appreciated. The owners should be applauded for selecting their staff wisely as they were really a stellar bunch. We were celebrating our anniversary and they sent us a complimentary dessert to share. Kudos to Fallow for a job well done from food to service to decor. Alas, there was one small issue that bothered both my wife and I. The stools at the kitchen counter were horribly uncomfortable. Changing them for stools that were more comfortable would be my only recommendation to otherwise amazing meal.

Our experience at Fallow was amazing!
We were on our first trip to London and the staff was so kind about it. The host and our waiter Stan gave us good advice about wine and which plates to order as well.
The mushroom parfait was the best surprise! Didn’t expect it to be SO good! The same goes to the Chelsea tart, very delicious.
Recommend Fallow to everyone and, for sure, was on of the highlights of our trip.
