We’re on the hunt for a Head Chef / Kitchen Manager!

Love the buzz of brunch? Passionate about “out there” afternoon teas? Thrive on the excitement of wedding feasts? If your answer is “yes chef!”, then we’d love to meet you.

We’re looking for a kitchen leader with flair, someone who can take charge of a brigade of 8-10 chefs, keep the pass moving, and still crack a joke or two along the way.

What’s on the menu (aka the job):

Lead a talented team across brunch, afternoon tea, and weddings
Five days a week (mostly daytimes, with the odd evening event) 45–48 hours
Keep an eye on GP and product quality without losing sight of the fun
Get stuck in with prep, plating, and the occasional splash at the pot wash (we all try to muck in!)
Maintain a clean, organised kitchen you’re proud of
Inspire your team and nurture a fair, respectful kitchen culture

Our perfect Head Chef is someone who:

Has solid knowledge of GP and food costing
Understands quality produce and lets it shine
Can rally the team, stay cool under pressure, and bring out the best in people
Loves service as much as planning
Has a sense of humor (no kitchen divas, please!)

In return, you’ll get the chance to make your mark, put your creativity on the plate (or on a feast), become part of something special and lead a team who actually like coming to work.

If you’re ready to be the heartbeat of our kitchen, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now, and let’s cook up something amazing together!
