We were served by Maira and Anna, they were both lovely and attentive. We had the choice of two menus which a appreciated as it gave me and my friends lots of options. I chose the set menu as to me it felt like i got to experience a range of different plates. Now the food was absolutely delicious! There wasn't a thing we ordered that we didn't want more of. The corn ribs and beef ribs are an absolute must, I could eat those ribs all day. I had lamb as my main meal and I would recommend it to anyone. So delicious !! I would say the portions are quite small so when having a main its a good idea to order some extra sides. The green beans with mustard sauce was my favourite!
To finish it had the hay infused pannacotta which was very smooth and creamy with some delightful crunchy biscuit pieces. So what im trying you should give fallows a try its a good atmosphere and even better food!!
This has been the best Fallow experience we have ever had. We came for our anniversary and had the most amazing food, drinks, and more importantly the hospitality.
The team’s service was impeccable - you were never without a drink and never left waiting. We sat at the Chef’s counter and appreciated the chefs taking the time out to speak to us too. A HUGE shoutout to Lockie and Fergus for the amazing service and food. You guys are the best.
Recommend the mushroom parfait, cod’s head, beef tartare, burrata… all of it!

We visited Fallow for our wedding anniversary and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. We genuinely enjoyed every dish we tried, and the whole evening felt really special. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming, and the service was excellent throughout. To top it all off, they kindly surprised us with a free dessert to celebrate our anniversary, which was such a lovely and thoughtful touch.
The corn ribs were crunchy and really enjoyable, and the mushroom parfait was absolutely delicious. The parfait was so smooth, rich and packed with flavour. The smoked beef ribs were perfectly cooked and literally fell off the bone. The sauce was fantastic too and complemented the beef beautifully.
The smoked cod’s head was probably the standout dish of the evening. It was genuinely next level! We had never tried anything quite like it before, and the combination of the perfectly cooked fish and the incredible sauce made it a really memorable dish. The crispy aubergine burger was another pleasant surprise, much better than we anticipated and full of flavour.
Overall, we had a brilliant evening at Fallow. Great food, excellent service, lovely staff and a thoughtful anniversary gesture. We enjoyed every dish and would definitely come back to try more of the menu. Highly recommended!

Any review I leave here will inevitably fall short of words.
Me and my girlfriend bonded over many things when we met, one of them being food and cuisine. It didn't take long for Fallow to come up in conversation. The inspiration their videos and transparency provided, and their restaurant practices and philosophy, deserved all the praise.
She had dined at Fallow before, but I never had. With me being in London for the first time in my life, the first place we visited was Fallow.
Photos will show all the food we had, and everything was absolutely delicious and delivered in a timely manner. There are no further comments to add. All the quality that was expected was delivered.
I would most importantly like to highlight all the staff we had the pleasure of interacting with and the lengths to which they went to provide us the best possible experience at Fallow. Their efforts and commitment made the experience twice as good, quite literally. A major thank you to Katrina and the receptionist whose name we never got. You made the evening an unforgettable one for the both of us.

Had a great time at fallow for a birthday dinner. It was nice being there after being a regular watcher of the YouTube channel. The food was great and the portions bigger than expected. A lot of the dishes are shareable. We ordered a lot from the menu just so everyone could sample all the different parts. The saddle of lamb was a highlight aswell as the Rhubard and custard spritz! Felix was amazing with recommendations and also regular check-ins without being overbearing. Overall a great experience and will definitely be coming back.
