His approach of making simple classic dishes the very best they can be is a surefire winner.
In his own words he describes the future of food at Flat Cap as moving towards a higher sustainable, local made philosophy.
Fallon is a strong advocate of the ‘Made this way’ brand philosophy, strongly believing most if not all dishes should be created in house with its chefs trained appropriately.
Like Flat Cap he believes each location should feel more like a restaurant with rooms, rather than a hotel with a dining room added as a mere afterthought.
Fallon looks for potential in his brigade and has ambitions for each of them that one day they too can be Head Chefs. His aspirations for them is that they be trained irrespective of position to a Sous Chef level. They should be inspired to create and reimagine the classics.
