Head Chef - Forest Lake Tavern

Head Chef | Forest Lake Tavern

Are you a kitchen leader who thrives in the center of the action? Forest Lake Tavern is searching for a Head Chef to take command of our high-volume bistro and lead a team through an exciting new chapter.

The "Lake" is getting a refresh. We are currently undergoing a venue refurbishment to elevate the experience for our locals. We need a Head Chef who is ready to take the reins of a refreshed kitchen operation and continue to set the culinary standard for the region. This is a fantastic opportunity to lead a suburban powerhouse as we update our look and feel.

A day in the life of a Head Chef:

• Command the kitchen like it’s your own, keeping it running smooth, safe, and profitable
• Be a key part of the leadership crew, working closely with the Publican and FOH team
• Share your passion, skills, and creativity to grow a high-performing kitchen team
• Keep the connection between the kitchen and front of house flowing with good vibes and great food every shift

Inherent requirements:

• This is a hands-on role that involves manual handling and lifting as part of regular duties (e.g. moving stock, kegs, and deliveries). Applicants must have the ability to perform physical tasks safely and efficiently.

About you:

• You’ve got the experience, confidence, and pride to own the kitchen and make it shine
• You’ve got trade cooking qualifications and food safety certifications sorted
• You live and breathe the Head Chef life - creating food people talk about and coming in each day ready to lead

If you’re ready to put your stamp on a kitchen locals love, let’s talk.
