Restaurant Review: FOWL by Fallow

Fallow me down the road to FOWL, where chefs Will Murray and Jack Croft, alongside James Robson present a new cluck-tastic restaurant, serving up ‘beak-to-feet’ inspired chicken dishes with cock-a-doodle-do twists. This poulet pop-up party is the place to be seen, with a menu presented by the masterminds behind St James’s uber trendy, Fallow.

 For those in the know, this is not a bare bones chicken shop, but a stylish glow-up where you can sample the breast, thigh, heart and foot. Supplied by the Ethical Butcher and Rare Breed Meats, who source the best possible pasture-raised and soy-free birds for this walk-in-only restaurant on Norris Street, where nothing is wasted.

The first thing you’ll notice about the food here is that the chicken tastes *chefs kiss* otherworldly. It is lip-smacking good, testament to the quality of poultry on offer. The range of dishes makes the menu exciting, with the added bonus of punchy dipping sauces and sides. Triple crisp hot wings, sriracha mayo made my mouth wobble with delight and Chicken liver parfait, black cherries, sourdough soldiers gave a luxury note to the menu.

You’ll leave knowing more about the splendours of chicken and the power of ‘beak-to-feet’ cuisine.

Perhaps the most exciting thing to note is the collaboration series. FOWL will be partnering with a series of celebrated food icons to create one-off dishes available for a limited time. Kicking off with Chef Pierre Koffmann, who, alongside Will and Jack, has created a Chicken Leg Corn Dog with Aleppo Pepper and ‘La Grande Coque Pie’ for two featuring confit chicken hearts, livers, and cockscombs.

You can expect great things from this restaurant, and one thing for sure is that you’ll leave knowing more about the splendours of chicken and the power of ‘beak-to-feet’ cuisine. Full-circle food is no longer a fad, but a fully embraced concept, executed with flare and finesse. Whether you prefer a filet de poulet or a Chicken fat crème caramel, be sure to get your fix at FOWL.

NOTE: FOWL is open now, with no current end date. There are no bookings. You can find out more at their Insta right here.
