Head Chef - Upmarket Brewery | $100K-$110K + S

• Shape your own food concept with genuine creative freedom
• Renovated kitchen, quality venue, relaxed atmosphere
• $100K-$110K + Super | Lower Northern Beaches

About the Role

An opportunity to build something you’re genuinely proud of.
An upmarket brewery and restaurant on the Lower Northern Beaches is looking for a driven, creative chef to help establish its reputation as the best food experiences attached to a brewery in the area.

The venue has recently undergone a full renovation, with modern kitchen facilities and a refreshed dining space. The atmosphere is relaxed, the setting is inviting, and the foundations are in place for something special.
What’s still open? The food concept.
This is an opportunity for a chef with ideas, ambition and a strong point of view to shape the offering, develop a menu with its own identity and build a reputation alongside the venue. There’s enough trade to establish solid systems and a consistent business, without the relentless volume that can leave little room for creativity.
The brief is simple: great food, a product you believe in, and the drive to make it happen.
About You We’re looking for a chef who wants more than just another kitchen role. Someone who enjoys creating, takes pride in their product and wants to leave their mark on a venue.
You’ll bring:

• Experience leading a kitchen, ideally within an upmarket pub, restaurant, brewery or similar operation.
• A creative approach to menu development, with the ability to build a food offering that feels distinctive and considered.
• A strong understanding of food quality, costing, kitchen systems and operational consistency.
• The drive to take ownership, develop a team and build something over time.
• Pride in what leaves the pass and a genuine commitment to the overall guest experience.

You don’t necessarily need to be an established Head Chef. An ambitious Sous Chef with the right experience, creative instincts and desire to take ownership could be an excellent fit. The concept is open for discussion, and the right person will have a genuine voice in shaping its direction.
What's on Offer?

• $100K–$110K + Super.
• Fully renovated kitchen and dining facilities.
• Creative input into the direction and identity of the food offering.
• A quality venue with a relaxed atmosphere and room to grow.
• An environment where quality and innovation matter more than simply pushing volume.
• The opportunity to build a name for yourself alongside an ambitious local venue.

How to Apply If you’re a driven Head Chef or an ambitious Sous Chef ready to take the next step, we’d love to have a confidential conversation.
Please submit your CV and, if you wish, a cover letter outlining your experience and what you’d like to build in your next role.
Australian working rights and relevant hospitality experience are required.
