Located at 555 Capitol Mall, Chef Oliver Ridgeway debuts Camden Spit & Larder, a modern London-inspired eatery, in Downtown Sacramento.

Deriving personal inspiration from Chef Ridgeway’s London-born roots, this cosmopolitan eatery is dedicated to showcasing the pristine ingredients of the surrounding region with its bold design, bustling bar scene, and prime private dining facilities. 

Once purely a business address, Sacramento's Capitol Mall is the latest up-and-coming destination to feature an influx of dining, shopping, and entertainment attractions with the recent introduction of the Golden 1 Center. Sacramento is ushering in a new leisure destination for locals and tourists alike, and is now home to the first independent, chef-driven restaurant concept in the area.

OLIVER RIDGEWAY - CHEF & OWNER

Arguably one of the most acclaimed chefs in Sacramento, Chef Oliver Ridgeway is a true leader in culinary excellence. Growing up in Great Britain allowed him the opportunity to travel around Europe, which opened his eyes and mouth to the amazing flavors that would put him on his career path of becoming a chef.     

After 25 years of experience honing his craft, Ridgeway’s propensity for sustainability brought him to Sacramento where he has forged close relationships with local purveyors, farmers and ranchers. A champion of farm-fresh and locally grown ingredients long before it became the norm, Ridgeway has been a key player in setting the table for Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork movement. With his inherent talent and distinguished ingredient-driven flair, Ridgeway creates menus inspired by the flavors of the Central Valley at Camden Spit & Larder in Sacramento, CA.
