I spent almost 40 years in the restaurant business and this was exactly how most new restaurants get open. Well done Roe!!

Fair play, im just looking at all the staff and calculating the wages all the staff, head of service, managers, waitresses, all the chefs, its amazing how restaurants make money with that many staff on the gross margins and rent. Especially when your food is very reasonable priced for the top quality and for London its cheap

i love to see stuff like this as someone who works in startups and deals with chaos a lot. It's wonderful to see how other industries deal with adversity. Wonderful job everyone. Fail fast has always been my way of working.

I've worked twice as an opening team and it's really hard. I'd rather do busy dinner service understaffed and with a broken dishwasher! Good luck guys!

I love that you are documenting this journey. I've never worked in the hospitality industry myself, but I'm a keen amateur cook and I've worked at a good few startups so I recognise a lot of things in _your_ story. I hope a thousand young cooks all over the world see this and it inspires them to start their first pop-up and start on their own path.

Well at least the head chef didn't lock himself in the walk in and then unintentionally break up with his girlfriend while having a breakdown

Good job mates, I'm a head chef for a retirement home in my community yes, and I draw a great inspiration from your point of view videos, and your recipes. Congratulations on your restaurant, when I travel to London someday I'll definitely visit both. You guys have helped me tremendously in my career over the last year.

Congratulations, guys. The restaurant looks beautiful!

Brilliant! All the best guys, rooting for you

So happy for you guys! Well done. So much potential there, be brave and go above and beyond!

Like and fallowed

Love these behind the scenes videos. Real and genuine people where it's not always perfect ❤️

love this! I'm gearing up for a new opening In Bath Next week, all the emotions! It's like a Giddy feeling before you go on stage! On another note where do you get your whites from? love the design.

Good luck everyone, going from a very successful restaurant and leaping into the ‘unknown’ would be very daunting in regards to financially etc. wish you all the best on this ‘new’ venture.

Utmost appreciation for your effortless hard work and patience and a huge good luck to the opening! 👏👌😎👊

@fallow - I ate at Roe last Friday night! What a great experience and 10/10, definetly will be back to try more of the menu. Please do a recipe for the satay chicken wings, they were honestly like crack, I want to drink that satay sauce

Wishing you all the best with this venture, would love to come sometime

Really cool to watch, hope full service is going great. I got really confused for a second at the end, fully thought he was talking about Paul because I wasn't listening and then I got more confused because I thought he meant Leto II... very silly

Lots of 5 star reviews for your new place. I live in Leeds but already making plans to visit.

Great video guys! I love how you're not afraid to show the bad and the good! Wishing you the best of luck for a very successful restaurant which I know you will achieve! 🙂😋😎❤

Fascinating. Love the transparency. Brings back memories. Funny hearing "Texas Sun" played in a London Restaurant. Love from Texas❤

Good luck Roe. Stay healthy chefs.

Are you REALLY worried? Dont be, you will smash it. Btw please more of those food prep recipies, specially the new ones ❤

Fascinating insight. I’d love to be involved! From a chef in the Mojave desert. I’m in London next week and I have a Fallow res- very excited!

Great vid. Hope it goes well for the team.

Well done guys.

the filmography of this video B rolling the food while i haven't had two plates of pasta for Dinner, make me 100 times 20 hungry.

As someone with quite a few years FOH experience, brand new staff are great as well as being a nerve racking endeavour. You can teach them the good methods and back up their own skills, but it's how they handle the pressure and stress when things go a bit wrong. I used to work at a holiday park where live music weekends were a thing, and we would always throw the new guys onto the bar at peak times to see how they coped. Most were great, some needed extra help, a few crumbled, and very few walked off never to be seen again. We even had one not even turn up for their shift. There are no silly questions in hospitality, when starting out, if you don't know ask, if you're struggling, tell us. Don't try and be the hero by winging it or guessing, at the end of the day we're all a team and getting to the end of the night without injury, death or years of therapy is the aim. The biggest thing of course is enjoy it, have fun, have a laugh....just don't turn up smashed or high.

I look forward to the next time im in London that I will book and dine with both Roe and Fallow. Well done and best of luck for the future!

Another super video, well done on launching!

YOU WILL MAKE IT WORK ,MUCH LOVE

Its all about the food...You guys are good!!😎

This was basically an IRL season finale of The Bear S2. I love that LMAO.

Nice Interior Design!

awesome stuff, best of luck

Looks amazing!

Top channel, top chefs, whos living the dream

Lets GOOOOOOO!

You are amazing!!! Oui Chef!!!

Yep crunch time on payroll by looks of the staff you have at least 20-30 staff, its very big brigade you need do at least 200-300 cover a night or clear at least 150k-200k a month to cover the rent, staff and other over heads.

Best of luck. I wish ye well

Going to the UK has always beena bucket list item for me , but seeing your resturants , especially thanks to @sortedfood ..the bucket list goal has now shifted to "visit fallow and row and fawn" ..though i think the cost of dinner will be as much as the plane ticket from the states. im gonna get a second job to save for this trip...i want it to be epic !

Amazing stuff

OPENING is NOT EASY. Worked twice in openings. And end of this year one more outlet to come 😅

Is the chef at 13:30 a relation to Jack? Sounds identical and talks in a similar way too!

Come on fallowwww

Hajra Kincso!🎉

❤

How many managers does a restaurant need?

A lot of Bosses lol

Your labour bill must be absolutely massive?! Chiefs and Indians?

imagine if they had 69 comers

I really hope it works out for you but that area is a bad place to open a restaurant like yours. No one will travel out to that area and demo that goes out in that area prob won’t come. Hope I am wrong.
