About Field Black

Field Black steps beyond standard cafe fare with an ambitious, globally inspired savoury menu on High Street. Expect generous plates designed with care—from spiced shakshuka with warm pita to savoury brunch okonomiyaki and a hearty Philly cheese steak. Parents gravitate toward the back room, where a dedicated nook with books and toys keeps toddlers occupied away from the front dining tables. The kitchen accommodates bespoke tweaks across vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free preferences, pairing the spread with a strong flat white or a fresh green smoothie.

  • Global Savoury Menu: Inventive savoury plates include brunch okonomiyaki, spiced shakshuka, and a loaded Turkish breakfast.
  • Kids' Play Corner: A dedicated play nook with books and toys keeps toddlers entertained toward the back of the venue.

Inventive, globally inspired savoury dishes prepared with generous portions and fresh ingredients

  • Shakshuka

    I ordered the Shakshuka which was a good portion size and beautifully presented. Taste was gently spicy without detracting from the capsicum and pumpkin. Plenty of toasted pita on the side to mop up the sauce.

  • Philly Cheese Steak

    Portion size was excellent and in fact, could’ve taken home half for dinner. Steak was tender and juicy.

  • Turkish Breakfast

    My daughter had the Turkish Breakfast which was packed full of eggs, green olives, halloumi, sujuk, hummus, grilled tomato and pita bread. The portion size was generous and the blend of the different elements brought out a clean taste to the palette of fresh and a well thought out combination.

  • Brunch Okonomiyaki

    The menu is extraordinary - right down my alley of unusual savoury selections. I found it very difficult to decide but settled on Brunch Okonomiyaki.
