The Culinary Journey of Keith and Sarah
Keith Broome's journey into vegetarian cuisine is built on a robust foundation of over two decades of vegetarianism and ten years as the Executive Sous Chef at the Saint John Ale House.

Sarah complements this journey with her six years of experience bringing vegan delights to locals at the Queen Square Farmers Market.

The restaurant's design features a modern, minimalist style with a monochrome palette that enhances the vibrant colours of the food, ensuring that every meal is not just tasty but also a feast for the eyes.
