Oxalis by David Tait
About Us
Our Story
Our Chef David Tait, has been cooking since 2009 beginning in Melbourne, Australia. He worked mainly under Shaun Quade at the 2 hatted Restaurant Lume where he learned the foundations of fine dining and fell in love with it.
His journey has led him into many kitchens around Melbourne before moving to the UK in 2018. Whilst here he has worked in some amazing British kitchens, Such as The Box Tree, Ilkley and The Pipe and Glass Inn, South Dalton.
David first pursued the concept of pop-up events back in 2017 under the name Dinner by Uovo and hosting countless events up until 2023 when he opened his first restaurant in Malton, North Yorkshire.
Dinner by Uovo Closed in 2024, But this allowed him to take the new found knowledge from running a brick and mortar restaurant to improve the pop-up events as Oxalis by David Tait. Expanding into exciting projects such as creating new non-alcoholic drink pairings.
Beginning in October 2024, Oxalis by David Tait aims to offer tasting menus driven by ingredients and guided by the location and seasons. We want Oxalis by David Tait to offer exceptional food and drinks in a very casual and laid back setting.
We currently host events once a month in various locations around East and North Yorkshire. Thank you again for supporting us and allowing me to use these events as a creative outlet!
