Would go back! Passing Tallow many times it’s been in my list for a while and wished I had booked before it had won its award and I might have been able to get a weekend booking.
For a Tuesday night it was fully booked giving it a busy but relaxed and calm atmosphere with some nice background music.
A bit pricey but would agree prices are aligned to the quality of the products used.
The muffin instead of bread was a nice touch and quite filling.
Main menu a little disappointed that the meat option was venison which is not a meat I eat so opted for the veggie main which was a mushroom pasty and was really surprising, and would recommend.
The veggie options were really quite great and would opt for the veggie again.
I did find some flavours a little overpowering so once finished each course I was not left wanting more but still really enjoyable.
I was too full for dessert but wine selection was great.
Presentation and service were 5*.
The menu changes every month so I will definitely be visiting again to try some more!
Had the best experience at Tallow this lunchtime! We had the tasting menu, and every course was amazing!! Fine dining at its best. Tallow did not disappoint, and there is no surprise why it was voted number 1 local restaurant! The service was impeccable, and we were very well looked after. Tallow I applaud you!
5☆ without a doubt. It's probably the best place locally for fine dining at reasonable prices. Amazing food, nice friendly staff and good atmosphere. Every dish was amazing and would have happily gone for the whole menu!

Food was nice but it wasn't a massive hit for me. Service was great & attentive. Will go back for tasting menu and check it out. Found it a bit expensive.
We had the ‘chefs table’ last night and the food was amazing. The setting, service and entire experience was first class. Robert the owner and chef cooks in front of you and 7 others explaining each dish of the tasting menu. It’s not cheap but very much worth it. Thanks for a wonderful night, we’ll be back.
Why go to London for fine dining when you can go to Tallow? We have visited a few times for lunch and it has been a wonderful experience every time. Most recently yesterday when the restaurant was super cosy next to the wood burner and the staff were as usual, superb. The food is a taste sensation. Looking forward to my next visit.
This was a most wonderful dining experience. I started off having a venison Ragu with potato mousse, then a fillet pork with confit belly and cauliflower cheese croquettes and finished with a cheese with soused pears and parkin. Each mouthful of the 3 courses was a taste sensation. The atmosphere was very welcoming and relaxed, the service and presentation of the dishes was extraordinarily good.
We were lucky enough to sit at the chefs table when we visited this hidden gem a few months ago and when some recent absurd reviews were brought to my attention I wanted to add an account of my own experience.
Firstly I wanted to say how professional and knowledgeable the staff were. Ruby was an excellent som and host. She was friendly, enthusiastic and very patient with our party after a few wines! I also enjoyed her tattoos very much, not that I feel that had any bearing on our evening.
As an intimate local restaurant we didn’t really know what to expect with the food but we were blown away. Every dish was flawless, there was not one we didn’t enjoy. Chef was extremely impressive and we felt privileged to be at his table.
This establishment is well deserved of its recent Britain’s Best Neighbourhood Restaurant award and we would love to return.
Phenomenal restaurant, amazing food, beautiful room, superb drink choices. Very special experience. I never write reviews, but I saw some people trashing this place and they couldn’t be more wrong. Lovely staff, great atmosphere. Highly recommend. It is expensive, but it is special, special food and people that complain about portion sizes are so so dumb, and they just don’t understand fine dining. We’ll be coming back next time we visit from Canada!
Gorgeous little restaurant, delicious dishes and very knowledgeable and welcoming team. Some of the best service we’ve had in a long time. Big love to Ruby and co!
We had the most amazing time on the Chefs table. Food, service, wine was all perfect. All of the staff Rob, Penny and everyone else we met were all lovely and extremely helpful. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely loved Tallow! A really friendly atmosphere, and amazing food. We went for the tasting menu, which involved an amuse bouche (little crunchy bite-sized croquettes filled with tender, tasty pulled pork and topped with apple gel), bread (sourdough, brushed with wild garlic and served with whipped truffle butter), honey-glazed belly pork on a crab and apple salad, rendang-spiced beef cheek with toasted coconut, whipped yogurt, and puffed rice (just stunning!), crisp-skinned cod loin with squid, crunchy roast potato, tomato vierge, sea vegetables and saffron mayonnaise, lamb loin and rump with bulgar wheat and peas, a fabulous chocolate and cherry cake, and (perhaps saving the best for last) a rosemary waffle topped with baron bigod cheese, with pedro ximinez-soaked golden sultanas. We opted for a flight of wines, chosen to complement each course. I would very happily go back to try the menu dishes which weren't included in the tasting menu, and probably again to re-try my favourites!
I'm not at all surprised that Tallow made it to the list of the top 100 restaurants in the UK, despite being quite new; I really couldn't fault any part of our meal!
We had the tasting menu & wine pairing. Not just a wonderful evening of fabulous food & wine but a complete experience with brilliant & knowledgeable staff explaining the details of how the food is prepared & presented.
Lovely aesthetic, charming staff who couldn't be more helpful or accommodating. Food options inventive and varied, and everything tasty but could do with punching up a level in terms of flavour and combinations. For example, we had the hake (delicious, perfectly cooked) with cuttlefish (slightly chewy) and truffle gnocchi (delicious on their own but incongruous with the dish). Would definitely go back, worth a visit. Prices are on the higher end.
You know those meals that make you pause with the first bite and then make you nod your head and frown in approval a few seconds later? That's what you get with Tallow. Now I'm not sure if all the staff are related but it seems that way with the homely vibe you get there. Not homely in the sense of siblings fighting to the death while the parents are screaming at eachother but homely in the way that makes you feel like you're at your grandma's table. Every bite was a sensation except the cheese and apple pie, I wanted to be adventurous but it backfired on me as I'm not a cheese and apple guy, y'know?
I completely see why this place won "best local restaurant" in a somewhat paradoxical nationwide competition - it feels like Michelin quality food in a casual, accessible environment. Obviously it's not cheap, but I don't know anywhere like it for the price.
