Wood-fired kitchen · 14 Mill Lane

Seasonal plates from a wood-fired oven

Olive & Ember cooks over oak in an old bakery on Mill Lane. Long-proved pizza, plates that change with the week's vegetables, and tables kept back for people who walk in.

Ways to eat with us

Dinner, weekend lunch and the chef's table

Weekend lunch

A shorter menu at noon on Saturday and Sunday, with tables in the courtyard in summer.

The chef's table

Up to twelve guests beside the oven, with a set menu cooked in front of you.

Collection

Order pizza and sides by phone and collect them from the side door.

Cards in any amount, sent by email or posted with a handwritten note.

Two hours at the bench on a Saturday morning, then lunch. Eight places.
