Key points we found

- Join Fred''s as the Assistant Restaurant Manager and lead a high performing team.
- Focus on delivering exceptional guest experiences and improving business performance.
- Access industry best training programs and career development opportunities.

The Venue Fred’s, on Paddington’s bustling Oxford Street, feels like you’ve stepped into a friend’s rustic country home – the natural setting for our signature farm-to-table cooking. Seasonality, locally-sourced produce and a sense of occasion come together in our intimate open kitchen. From the service to the produce, the magic is in the details. All of the meat and seafood we source is sustainably farmed and fished, the pasta is made from organic local wheat and semolina flours and the crème fraiche is house-made using organic local cream.

The wine list features the full spectrum of classic wines but also lesser known regions and varieties. Carefully tailored to complement our farm-to-table philosophy, it highlights small growers who care deeply about their impact on the land they caretake. Every wine has been selected for a reason, whether it’s minimal intervention, organic or biodynamic.
