About the Venue
A strong, community-driven venue in Southern Sydney is looking for a Head Chef to take the lead in its kitchen.
This is a well-established, food-focused business operating within a high-performing pub environment. The menu centres around modern Italian alongside refined pub classics. Seasonal pastas, quality grill work and produce-driven dishes sit comfortably beside the favourites that keep locals coming back.
The kitchen is open, creating a connected and energetic service environment where leadership presence naturally sets the tone for the team.
The venue forms part of a growing hospitality group and works closely with a highly regarded Group Executive Chef from a well-known two-hatted Sydney background. There is genuine culinary direction behind the business, supported by strong commercial structure and engaged ownership.
The Role

You will lead from the front during service, guide the brigade, maintain consistency and continue shaping the offering within a framework that already works.
The kitchen is established and supported. This opportunity is about strengthening standards, building culture and delivering reliable execution week in, week out.
You will have autonomy in the day-to-day running of the kitchen, backed by experienced leadership and a group that values structure and accountability.
About You

You are calm under pressure, commercially aware and comfortable managing food cost and labour. You value consistency, lead with clarity and understand how to build and mentor a cohesive team.
