Camden Spit & Larder

"Downtown Sacramento meets sexy uptown London at this foodie haven, where Chef Oliver Ridgeway applies his formidable British culinary know-how to farm-fresh Californian ingredients. Inside, the striking dining room features glossy floor-to-ceiling windows; a polished, forever-bustling bar; as well as a lovely outdoor dining area overlooking Capitol Mall.As the name informs, spit-roasted meats take center stage here. A decadent evening feast might begin with an airy popover before settling into more substantial dishes. Don’t miss the incredibly tender prime rib, paired with crispy golden potato rösti, fermented horseradish, sour cream and peppery watercress. Classic English desserts, like the scrumptious Banoffee pie, are perfect for sharing." - Michelin Inspector

Astral Tequila Cocktails in Sacramento | Eater

"Located in Sacramento’s Capitol Mall, this swanky brasserie by chef Oliver Ridgeway pulls inspiration from his British roots. You’ll find elevated versions of classic pub fare, like sausage rolls and English meat pie, alongside spit-roasted chicken and black truffle agnolotti. The drink choices here are also a step outside the bounds of pints of beer and G&Ts — like Astral Blanco with passion fruit, orgeat, Genepi liqueur, lime juice, and a dash of orange bitters." - Bernadette Machard de Gramont

Camden Spit & Larder Opens in Sacramento - Eater SF

"The only Sacramento chef to ever land on the Saveur 100 unveils his first restaurant tomorrow. With its bold design, British inspiration, and chef’s pedigree, Oliver Ridgeway’s Camden Spit & Larder is easily one of the most highly anticipated Sacramento restaurant openings in quite some time. Located just around the block from downtown Sacramento’s new, giant food hall The Bank, Camden Spit & Larder promises to channel the farm-focused cuisine the city does best as well as Ridgeway’s British roots. At the heart of the menu are spit-roasted meats — as referenced in the restaurant’s name — such as roast beef rib with fermented horseradish and Yorkshire pudding. More English-influenced dishes include pork sausage rolls with hot English mustard, while the Sacramento flair reveals itself in vegetable-centric offerings like charred broccoli with black garlic soubis, confit carrots, olives, and chermoula. Caviar from nearby Passmore Ranch is always on offer. (See the full menu below.)" - Janelle Bitker
