Once upon a time — let’s call it the Pre-Oven Era — three friends had a mildly rebellious idea:
Not a limp salad. Not a diet plan disguised as lunch. Just real food, made hot and hearty.
After years of dreaming, researching, and taste-testing (strictly for science), 2025 saw the launch of our very first Oven or Nothin branch near Regent’s Park, London. No gimmicks. No green juice agenda. Just oven-cooked goodness, created by people who genuinely care what you’re eating.
Because food should taste like food.
We ditched the fryer. We skipped the sachets. We said “no thanks” to mystery sauces and soggy excuses for vegetables.
Instead, we roast, bake, and slow-cook. All day, every day. Our food isn’t “light” or “diet-friendly” — it’s just wholesome, oven-cooked food made from scratch by people who actually care.
We don’t do additives. We don’t do shortcuts. We do real ingredients, cooked with real heat.
We don’t serve “light bites” that leave you hungry in 20 minutes. Our food gets you through the day — body and brain included.
If it can’t explain itself in plain English, it’s not on the menu.
Enough to satisfy without inducing nap mode.
There are plenty of healthy restaurants London has to offer.
But if you’re looking for hot counter-style meals, oven-cooked lunches, and wholesome food near Regent’s Park, we’re the ones doing things differently.
No pressure to “eat clean.” No green juice sales pitch. Just better-than-fast-food meals for actual hungry humans.
“Found this place while looking for healthy food near me. It’s not ‘healthy’ in the green juice sense — just real food that fills you up and doesn’t suck.”
“It’s not a salad. It’s not sad. It’s actually satisfying — finally.”
“Honestly feels like a home-cooked meal, but I didn’t have to do the cooking. Win.”
Love food? Love people? Hate limp salads? You’ll probably fit right in. We’re hiring — check out current roles.
