Charred Kitchen Orange
Charred Kitchen has permanently closed. For years it was one of Orange's most distinctive dining rooms — open-fire cooking, local produce, and a convivial sharing-style menu that made it a favourite first-night booking for visitors to the region. Its closure leaves a genuine gap in the town's dining scene, and we know many returning guests will be looking for where to go instead.
If you were a fan of Charred
We recommend the Union Bank or Summer Street Wine Bar for delicious dining and a great selection of local wine. Both sit in the Orange town centre, a short walk from Yallungah Boutique Hotel — so like Charred, they're an easy evening on foot with no driving required.
The Union Bank
A relaxed all-rounder in a beautiful heritage building, with a shared-style menu, a strong local wine list, and the kind of warm, convivial room that suits couples and groups alike. Kitchen serves until 10 PM seven days (closed Tuesdays in winter). The School House at Union Bank is the flagship dining room for a more structured evening.
Summer Street Wine Bar
Delicious dining paired with a great selection of local wine — an easy, convivial evening and a natural fit for anyone who loved Charred's relaxed energy. A good choice for a lighter dinner built around Orange's cool-climate wines.
