An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Executive Chef to join the award-winning team at Spicers Peak Lodge.
The Executive Chef will be integral to the Spicers Peak Lodge operation providing all menus and meals for up to 30 guests and up to 100 for weddings and functions. From gourmet breakfasts and picnic lunches, to canapés and three course dinners, this is a standout opportunity for a passionate Chef.
The role will ideally suit an outgoing personality with appropriate qualifications and experience, preferably including experience in fine dining and quality Australian fare.
