The Stag’s Head Hotel is a lively pub known for its unique, high-quality fusion menu, and we're looking for a hard-working, passionate Cook/Chef to join our kitchen team. This role starts as casual, with genuine potential to move into permanent part-time or full-time work for the right person. If you've got a sharp eye for detail, take real pride in your prep, and thrive in a busy kitchen environment, we want to hear from you. About the Role

You’ll be joining a close-knit kitchen that takes pride in doing things a little differently — our seasonal menu and weekly specials mean no two shifts look quite the same, and we’re after someone that enjoys that variety as much as we do. This is a great opportunity for a reliable, skilled cook looking to build something longer-term with a pub that values consistency and quality. What You’ll Do

Food Prep:

Complete daily prep lists accurately, keeping portion control consistent and ingredients set up to a high standard. Service:

Cook and present menu items to spec through busy evening and weekend rushes. WHS & Food Safety:

Maintain strict kitchen hygiene, follow food safety protocols, and stick to workplace health and safety guidelines.



Kitchen Maintenance:

Manage stock rotation (FIFO) and complete opening/closing cleaning checklists. Teamwork:

Communicate clearly with front-of-house and kitchen staff to keep service running smoothly, especially during peak periods. What We’re Looking For

Experience in a fast-paced commercial kitchen, with strong knife skills. Certificate III in Commercial Cookery (or equivalent trade experience) and a current Food Safety Supervisor certificate preferred. Fully available for evening and weekend shifts, including Saturdays and Sundays. A hard worker with a strong work ethic, great communication skills, and a genuine passion for food. Someone reliable who’s looking to grow with a business — this role has real potential to develop into permanent part-time or full-time hours. Why Join Us

A supportive, lively pub setting with a menu that keeps things interesting. Real opportunity for increased hours and job security for the right person. Be part of a team that takes genuine pride in what goes out of the kitchen.
