Our dinner service friends, the .food.and.co team have an update to share.

🌙We're hitting pause on Nights@NearEast for a while✨

Our chef is taking some well-earned time off, and with Oz busy working on some exciting catering projects, winter feels like the right time to step back from dinner service for now.

To everyone who's joined us for dinner over the years, thank you. We'll miss seeing your faces each week, but this isn't goodbye.

The café is still open, take-home meals are still available, and we're busy creating delicious things through .food.and.co. If you've got a celebration, gathering or special event coming up, we'd love to help feed the crowd.

Keep an eye on our socials too. There are a few pop-ups and fun collaborations in the works, so you might still catch Oz in the kitchen before long.

Thanks for sticking with us and supporting our small team. We really REALLY appreciate every. single. one. of. you! ❤️
