About This Role

The Head Chef role will oversee MBP’s three key hospitality outlets, focusing on The Patio and The Local, with The Summit generally utilised only for infrequent events. The Head Chef will be responsible for managing a fast-paced kitchen environment, which will serve several hundred guests each day during peak periods. The Head Chef will manage a team of chefs and support staff, who focus on delivering a fresh, seasonal menu, catering to a diverse customer base.

MBP will work with the Head Chef to establish a new market garden, investing in infrastructure and support staff to manage a garden that will deliver fresh, seasonal produce. This significant project will facilitate a focus on paddock to plate dining, with a strong focus on fresh, local produce.

The role will include a focus on growing high end dining events at the park’s iconic mountain top venue, The Summit, where there is significant opportunity to establish a truly world-class dining venue. A key focus will also be on growing the park’s higher end dining offering, The Local, with a focus on small plates and platters. The Local intends to establish a top regional dining experience with a focus on top quality local produce, along with tasting of local beer, wine, and spirits.

Over the coming years, MBP has a big vision to establish a new resort village development, and grow into one of Australia’s top adventure towns. The Head Chef role offers significant scope for career growth, and an opportunity to leave your mark on a truly exciting generational project.

The Head Chef will report directly to the General Manager.
