Sous Chef, Rune & Roost Tavern

Rune & Roost Tavern was born from the spirit of Ironvale; a mist‑covered mountain town where wanderers, locals, and travelers have always gathered to share warmth, food, and stories. What began as a humble hearth on the edge of the forest grew into a refuge for anyone seeking comfort after a long journey through the valley’s winding trails.

The tavern takes its name from the carved runes found etched into the original timber beams, remnants of Ironvale’s old folklore. Locals believed the symbols offered protection and good fortune to those who rested beneath them. Over time, the roost, a small loft where travelers once slept, became a symbol of welcome, a reminder that every soul deserves a place to settle and breathe.

Today, Rune & Roost Tavern honors that legacy with fire‑forged meals, handcrafted spirits, and an atmosphere shaped by lantern light and warm company. Every dish is inspired by the land around us, every drink crafted with care, and every seat offered with the same intention that built this place: to give wanderers a hearth to call their own.
