Coming Up
That early exposure came through the practical side of the job, where the rhythm of the pass teaches more than theory. From there, he moved to chef at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, a next step into a kitchen defined by precision and pressure. Since 2019, Croft’s work at Fallow has given his career a clearer edge, while ROE has added another strand to the same body of work. Across both kitchens, the emphasis reads as operational as much as culinary: building a point of view through service, repetition and the daily discipline of the plate.
Where They Are Now
