At Block and Cleaver, food is more than flavour—it’s a way to connect people, place, and moment. Our vision is simple: to bring quietly luxurious dining to the Grampians through thoughtful ingredients, refined technique, and warm, grounded service.

The Art of Food

the art of food - the heart of hopitality - the art of food - the heart of hospitality - 

From local kitchens to mountaintop weddings, Block and Cleaver brings a refined, relaxed approach to dining. With a deep respect for produce, people and place, we create food experiences that feel effortless—yet unforgettable.

Gather well.
 Eat beautifully.

Refined Regional Dining

Block and Cleaver was born from a love of great food and a deep connection to the Grampians. Founded by Executive Chef Dean Sibthorp, we collaborate with local venues, kitchens and event hosts to bring quietly elevated dining experiences to life. Whether we’re plating up in a restaurant or catering a celebration under the stars, our approach remains the same—seasonal, intentional, and grounded in genuine hospitality.
