Our Story

One kitchen, two services, the same fire

[ kitchen team at work, wide ]
2024 – today

We opened with eight tables and a single grill on the terrace.

The room was meant to serve lunch to people passing through Sogakope. What happened instead is that they stayed for the evening, so we built a proper grill, added the terrace roof, and hired a second line for the kitchen.

Today the menu is split between local plates that run all day and a charcoal service that starts at five. Both are cooked to order by the same team, with fish from the river and produce from the market up the road.

PLACEHOLDER · founding story, dates and team detail to be confirmed by Des Vantora Ltd.

01
Bought the same morning

Fish from the Volta, vegetables from the Sogakope market. If it did not arrive today, it is not on the board.

02
Cooked when you order

Nothing waits under a lamp. Some plates take twenty minutes and we would rather tell you than rush them.

03
Nobody is rushed out

We do not turn tables. Once you are seated the table is yours for as long as the evening runs.

The team

Fourteen people, most of them from Sogakope

The kitchen is led by a head chef and two section cooks; the floor is run by a supervisor and a team of servers who know the regulars by name. We train in house and promote from the floor first.
