We are proud to use ingredients from local producers. There are a whole host of reasons why we choose to do so. For some, using local food is just a trend. For us, it goes much deeper than that. We understand the difference that we can make by doing so. Customers want fresh, local ingredients.

Local Food

While there is no strict definition when it comes to local food, typically, it’s considered to be foods that are grown within 100 miles of where they are consumed or sold. Of course, it’s up to you to decide what local truly means to you. For many people, especially in expansive areas, its food that is grown within your region or state.

Why Use Local?

First and foremost, local ingredients just taste better. It’s picked, transported, and used much quicker than products that are shipped far and wide. Think of the distances your food has travelled, when you sit down to enjoy oranges from Spain or Florida. Why would you want to, when you could find produce nearby?

Of course, that’s another important point about local foods. It has less distance to travel, which isn’t just good for the freshness of your food. It’s also beneficial to the environment. The fewer miles your food has to travel the less petrol and energy it uses. Local protects the environment.

Then, there is the nutritional aspect. When your food is as fresh as it is when you eat local, it doesn’t have time to lose as many nutrients. There’s also less risk with local produce because we know exactly where it came from. Local farmers tend to take their commitment seriously, they feel responsible to their local customers and pride themselves on producing high-quality, safe goods.

It also provides us with a connection to the farmers and the land. It not only allows us to support our local farmers, but it also preserves those businesses for our future generations. When we spend our money locally, it stays locally. It is being reinvested right back into our community. It doesn’t get better like that.

One of the best ways to look after your health is to eat with the seasons. It’s much easier to do that when we source our goods locally. The best time to eat any type of food is when it’s fresh, so it only makes sense that eating with the season ensures you get the maximum nutritional value and flavour from a product. We are helping you enjoy tastier food, all while looking after your health! So, even if it’s a pizza flatbread that you are sitting down to, you can rest easy knowing that you’re getting the maximum nutritional value from every ingredient.

Buy Locally

For us, using local producers for our ingredients just makes sense. So, if you feel the same, you can rest easy knowing that when you eat with us – you are doing the community a favour. Not only are you are investing in your community, but you are also working to create a greener future.

There are many reasons to love Woodfired Kitchen – and usually it’s our flatbread pizza that catches the attention of passers-by. But we’re not only about pizza. We want to make sure everyone has something to experience when they dine with us and that’s why we’ve introduced High Tea to our restaurant.

Do you love a good High Tea? Or have you heard about High Tea but you’ve never really tried it for yourself? Now is your chance.

Here are some things you need to know about High Tea with Woodfired Kitchen:

You don’t have to be English to enjoy it! High Tea is no doubt associated with the English. In fact, it’s a British tradition that dates back to the mid-1700s! It’s traditionally a meal served between 3pm and 4pm – but we serve ours all day long! Initially, it was a meal that was designed for workers – because no doubt come 3pm, the men were hungry! And a big feed of scones, cakes and cheese would tie them over until supper time (which was generally mid-late evening). And over time, women were also introduced to this delicious time of the day. In the mid-1800s, the 7th Dutchess of Bedford Lady Fredericks talks about “tea business” in her diary.

The food! No doubt about it. When you go for a High Tea, you want to know that you’re eating great food along with drinking quality tea and coffee. At our High Tea, we offer a selection of finger sandwiches, as well as serving warm buttermilk scones with delicious jam and cream; we’ll give you three seasonal sweet delights (yum!) and you can choose from our Chamillia Organic Tea or Five Sense Coffee.

The venue is Heritage Listed and has an intriguing history. When you enjoy your High Tea, you’ll be dining in our private function room (provided there are no functions on at the time). This room, and the building itself, was constructed in 1933 for Mr C Chitty, a well known local building and timber merchant. Part of the High Street shopping precinct, most buildings in the area have retained their original façade, including render and tiles. Not only that, but with an old-style feel to the building that includes fireplace and chandeliers, this is a venue you’re going to love.

We offer a laid-back environment, so you don’t need to worry about all those age-old traditions. If you haven’t heard of them before – if you were enjoying High Tea in the late 1800s, according to a French guide to etiquette you would have to “leave your coffee spoon in your cup when you life it to your lips”; you should also stand your teaspoon upright in your cup if you don’t want any more tea; and if you wanted your tea to lose heat, you would tip it into the saucer!

One of the traditions we have kept, however, is the use of quality China tea cups and saucers. Given our design background, we like to offer a cultural and historical significance by using the beautifully designed bone China cups we have in our restaurant. These were actually created by our in-house designer, making them completely unique!

Don’t just take our word for it though. Make a booking today! Bookings are required 24 hours in advance. Menu subject to change.

Wood fired pizza is one of the most popular meals and has been for centuries. Whether you are dining out at your favourite wood-fired pizza restaurant in Melbourne or eating at home, the taste of wood-fired pizza is something you just can’t create without a wood-fired oven. Pizzas are the most common wood fired food no doubt, but when it comes to wood firing food, pizza is just the beginning. If you're considering purchasing a wood-fired oven, or you have one already, and you're after the perfect recipe for making a pizza - here's our tips!

The Dough Generally you'll need about 3 hours to make a good dough. That includes, of course, all the setting time. Here's a quick recipe:

4 cups stone-milled flour

1 cup warm water

30 g brewer's yeast or 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, dissolved in the water

1 tablespoon olive oil

A pinch of salt

Put the flour into a bowl and make a well in the middle. Add the salt and olive oil. Mix in your water-yeast mix, and knead the dough until its smooth. You can use a dough mixer if you have one, but hand is also good. Shape the dough into a ball after about 10 minutes. Put it aside for 2 hours (or until it doubles in size). Then punch it flat, knead it slightly and divide it into 4 even pieces. Put those pieces onto a floured board, leave them to sit for another hour (cover them with a tea-towel or some glad wrap.   

While this part of the process is happening, turn on your oven to 350C. This will usually take anywhere from 90 minutes to 3 hours. 

Heating The Oven

You'll know the oven is hot enough when a white patch appears at the top (rather than soot). You can keep the oven hot by adding a stick of hardwood, or similar, every 10 minutes or so. If you want, invest in a thermometre. Or just use your hand - don't touch it! But if you can hold your hand for longer than 2 seconds, 3 inches above the oven floor - it's not hot enough! 

Pizza Flatbreads

Once the last hour is up for your dough, use your fingers to spread it out into a circle large enough for your pizza. The size is up to you. Work your magic, try flipping it if you want, or just use your fingers to spread it to around 12 inches diametre. Then add your topics. Pick a great sauce and add whatever you want!

Cooking It

Put your pizza in the oven - and after about 30-40 seconds the crust will start to puff up and cook. Rotate it 180 degrees, and put it back down in the same spot (if you move it somewhere else in the oven it might burn). It will basically take 60-90 seconds total for your pizza to cook ...   

THEN YOU GET TO EAT! Slice it, and enjoy! 

 At Woodfired Kitchen Glen Iris, we use the traditional method to cook our pizza style flatbread in the Woodfired oven. Our ingredients have been developed specially to suit our cuisine and combine both pizza base and flatbread in one - so you can enjoy the best crust and most delicious flavours in a woodfired flatbread. Come and taste it for yourself!

Why we use local producers for our ingredients

We are proud to use ingredients from local producers. There are a whole host of reasons why we choose to do so. For some, using local food is just a trend. For us, it goes much deeper than that. We understand the difference that we can make by doing so. Customers want fresh, local ingredients.   

Local Food 

While there is no strict definition when it comes to local food, typically, it’s considered to be foods that are grown within 100 miles of where they are consumed or sold. Of course, it’s up to you to decide what local truly means to you. For many people, especially in expansive areas, its food that is grown within your region or state.   

Why Use Local? 

First and foremost, local ingredients just taste better. It’s picked, transported, and used much quicker than products that are shipped far and wide. Think of the distances your food has travelled, when you sit down to enjoy oranges from Spain or Florida. Why would you want to, when you could find produce nearby?

Of course, that’s another important point about local foods. It has less distance to travel, which isn’t just good for the freshness of your food. It’s also beneficial to the environment. The fewer miles your food has to travel the less petrol and energy it uses. Local protects the environment.   

Then, there is the nutritional aspect. When your food is as fresh as it is when you eat local, it doesn’t have time to lose as many nutrients. There’s also less risk with local produce because we know exactly where it came from. Local farmers tend to take their commitment seriously, they feel responsible to their local customers and pride themselves on producing high-quality, safe goods.   

It also provides us with a connection to the farmers and the land. It not only allows us to support our local farmers, but it also preserves those businesses for our future generations. When we spend our money locally, it stays locally. It is being reinvested right back into our community. It doesn’t get better like that.   

One of the best ways to look after your health is to eat with the seasons. It’s much easier to do that when we source our goods locally. The best time to eat any type of food is when it’s fresh, so it only makes sense that eating with the season ensures you get the maximum nutritional value and flavour from a product. We are helping you enjoy tastier food, all while looking after your health! So, even if it’s a pizza flatbread that you are sitting down to, you can rest easy knowing that you’re getting the maximum nutritional value from every ingredient. 

Buy Locally 

For us, using local producers for our ingredients just makes sense. So, if you feel the same, you can rest easy knowing that when you eat with us – you are doing the community a favour. Not only are you are investing in your community, but you are also working to create a greener future.   

Taste our pork belly, wagyu beef and lamb for an unforgettable flavour.
