Conscious & Creative Dining at Roe
Located in the heart of Wood Wharf, Roe offers conscious and creative dining from the trio behind the acclaimed Fallow restaurant. Named after the native deer of the British Isles, Roe will uphold the same nose-to-tail and root-to-stem philosophy as its sister restaurant, Fallow St James’s.
Menu
The extensive à la carte menu at Roe will be divided into nibbles and flatbreads, skewers, and grilled options, with larger plates and sides also available. Roe will champion modest, British ingredients while showcasing underused and underappreciated produce.
