01 — Our story
Born from a summer in Crete & a winter in Lyon.
Olea & Ash opened in 2019 above a record shop on Atlantic Road. Two of us, one wood oven, twelve seats. Six years on we’re still small, still cooking from a single fire, and still writing the menu the morning of.
We work with farms and growers within a hundred miles when we can. What we can’t source close, we source carefully. Olive oil from a co-operative outside Heraklion. Anchovies from a tiny family business in Cádiz. A wine list that leans toward growers we’ve drunk with.
