For an exceptional roast dinner experience with a sustainable conscience, head to Fallow, St James’s, founded by chefs Jack Croft, Will Murray and chairman James Robson. Famous for championing the use of ex-dairy livestock on its Sunday roast menu, the roasted dairy cow rump is unsurprisingly popular, as is the pork belly and a whole rotisserie chicken, all served alongside a generous helping of roast potatoes, a yorkshire pudding, carrots, swede, greens and gravy.
