One look at Black Sheep Bistro’s blackboard and it becomes abundantly clear that this is not your typical suburban restaurant, rather than sirloin you’re more likely to find brisket and alongside pork belly, you’ll also find pork shoulder. The blackboard menu reflects the establishment’s ‘no waste’ philosophy and is constantly changing depending on what owner and chef Sian Bressolles has on hand. Sian works hard to eliminate waste, not only because it makes good business sense but because having grown up in a farming community, she has an inherent appreciation and respect for food. Judging from the packed dining room, locals have well and truly embraced Sian’s ethical eating movement.
