We’re so happy to introduce our new head chef, Giuliano.
joined the Oren family three months ago. He’s worked in some of the UK’s most celebrated kitchens (Lita, Brat, Barrafina, and with the Galvin brothers), but what really makes him special is the way he cooks. He has a deep respect for great ingredients and a fearless approach to flavour.
Since arriving, he’s brought fresh collaborative energy and ideas to the menu while keeping Oren’s heart and soul right where it belongs: in open fire cooking, seasonal produce, and food that’s both simple and refined.
Come by and say hi!

Smoked Po***ck Pastrami
Caught off the Cornish coast by our friends , the po***ck is cured in salt and spices for 48 hours, then washed, rubbed in our signature pastrami spice blend, and cold-smoked in-house.
Served with burnt sweet Romano peppers, it’s our take on the classic New York–style beef pastrami — only with a coastal twist, and every bit as irresistible.

Schmaltz Herring Salad, Red Roseval potatoes, mustard vinaigrette.
“Schmaltz” typically refers to rendered poultry fat — but in this case, it nods to the rich, fatty herring caught at peak season. Salty, silky, and full of flavour, paired with waxy Roseval potatoes and a punchy vinaigrette.
Available as part of our Early Dinner Set Menu:

£26 for two courses | £30 for three
