Tart's Philosophy

We cook food that excites us, using ingredients we know work well together. We look to work with suppliers who have unique stories of sustainability or craftsmanship.

Delicious

Ingredients that are in season are particularly delicious, rich in nutrition, and carry the vibrant colours of their unique time of year. We are all about exploring these colours, tastes and textures – through the presentation and combination of dishes, and the elevation of contrasting and complimentary colours. Moreover, eating with the seasons makes it easier to keep to our buying local mantra.

Quality

We believe that businesses of all kinds should do all they can to not just do no harm, but to contribute positively to the world. In our case, this means doing our best to buy high quality ingredients from local suppliers, who use production methods that are positive for the environment, animal welfare and their employees. We aim to minimise the waste we produce, particularly with single use plastics, and to ensure that any waste product is recycled.

Love

The first question people ask about Tart is ‘what kind of food do you make?’. The simple truth is, we make what we love. We have never been attracted to food that tries to make a point, or dishes that are more concerned with appearance than taste. Our food is expressive of that – laid back, fun, and – we hope – delicious.
