Senior Sous Chef
Long Point Brewing Co – Port Kennedy, WA
Long Point Brewing Co. is a bold new brewery-restaurant and function venue overlooking the Indian Ocean, located in the heart of the Kennedy Bay masterplanned community. We’re building something special — a venue with soul, great food and a view that’ll make your mates jealous.
Our 500-capacity gastro-brewpub will combine a state-of-the-art kitchen and brewhouse with a hospitality-first approach, delivering modern Australian food designed to pair seamlessly with our house-brewed beers and relaxed coastal atmosphere.
Think flame-kissed local seafood and meats, woodfired pizzas, fresh seasonal produce and chef-driven features that showcase WA’s paddocks and coast — all executed at scale, with quality and consistency at the forefront.
