The Black Oven Food
Where tradition meets contemporary
We believe in the simple, rustic and proven age-old cooking methods that have been developed over centuries. These methods are what characterise our cuisine, as they create a unique, distinctive flavour with an elegant taste.
Our menus are exclusively personalized for your event. With your dietary requirements, food preferences, budget, and serving style in mind, we design bespoke menus that suit your needs.
Our courses are crafted with the highest quality, seasonal, locally-produced ingredients. Our chef is also skilled at balancing the taste and nutritional value of gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan courses.
