Australia’s most intriguing BOUTIQUE COUNTRY HOTEL...

HEAD CHEF

We are looking for a motivated, creative, proven leader to take on the role of head chef, who can lead our restaurant through the next stage of its evolution.

With the bar focused on wine & craft beer, and a deliberate absence of pokies, the result is an emphasis on ambience and dining experience. This means there is great potential here for a chef to get noticed and make a name for themself.

A family-owned and run business, the recently restored Commercial Boutique Hotel opened in its current form in September 2014 and has proven itself to be one of the best venues in the region. The hotel is a stunning destination for travellers looking for a high-quality food experience in NSW High Country.

Located in the heart of Tenterfield on the crossroads of the New England and Bruxner Highways, the Commercial Boutique Hotel exudes a retro art deco feel, with 8 luxury hotel rooms, also beautifully restored. Tenterfield was acclaimed by the Sydney Morning Herald as the perfect historic town,



and with stunning national parks and landscapes it has a lot of appeal as a tree-change destination.

- Overall management of the commercial kitchen
- Continually train your team to improve and able to lead your team effectively
