Fallow St James’s is a modern British restaurant at 52 Haymarket, led by chefs Will Murray and Jack Croft. Its lively open kitchen and informal dining room present ambitious cooking without unnecessary ceremony, while breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend service make the restaurant useful across the day.
Conscious use of British produce shapes the menu, with underused ingredients and careful whole animal and whole fish cooking central to the restaurant’s approach. Corn ribs with kombu seasoning and mushroom parfait made with smoked shiitake and home grown lion’s mane have become signatures designed for sharing.
The smoked cod’s head with Fallow sriracha demonstrates how a neglected cut can become a memorable centrepiece. Mature dairy cow steaks and burgers bring depth to the meat selection, while tandoori cauliflower, miso aubergine and the hen of the wood mushroom burger give vegetables the same attention and bold seasoning.
Seasonal changes keep the larger meat, seafood and vegetable plates responsive to British supply. Natural and biodynamic wines, inventive cocktails and considered alcohol free drinks complement the food, while a terrace and flexible sharing format suit everything from a meal before the theatre to a longer celebration.
