E’s Oven At Valv’s Catering

Another native, Vernon Hughes, who began his career as a dishwasher at Anguilla's Cinnamon Reef resort, has opened his own restaurant, called E's Oven, on the site of his mother's old stone oven. His cousin and mentor, George Reid, the executive chef at Cap Juluca, has been fostering local talent for the last four years by hiring high school graduates to work as apprentices in the resort's three restaurants. Many of them go on to work at any of the island's 100 restaurants. Chef Peggy Hughes has established a reputation for excellent cuisine and great value since opening in April 2000. The menu includes a wide variety of meals from sandwiches and salads to sirloin steak and more elaborate dishes such as blue fish in basil cream sauce. Nothing on the menu exceeds $15.
