Job Title: Chef De Partie (Full time)
Stowaway is a neighbourhood bar in the heart of Freshwater, serving up beloved Australian pub classics with a twist.
We’re searching for a passionate Chef de Partie to join our close-knit team. While your main home will be Stowaway, you’ll also have the chance to bring your skills next door at Harry Gatos — our vibrant, fast-paced Asian diner. Two venues, one company, endless variety.
What We Offer:
- Full-time stability — consistent hours you can rely on
- Above award pay — fair wages, no burnout culture
- Balanced lifestyle — kitchens close by 9:30–10pm
- Supportive crew — no egos, just talented people cooking great food
- Perks — staff meals at cost during shifts, plus 40% off when dining in
- Enjoyable pace — lively service without the chaos
- Room for creativity — we value fresh ideas and encourage input
The Role:
You’ll take charge of your own section, rotating across grill, fryer, and prep. Our menu is rooted in pub favourites but always evolving with creative, globally inspired touches. Stowaway is a community favourite, so consistency is key — but we’re never afraid to keep things fresh.
Expect to work alongside a dedicated team of three to four during service, with prep shared across both venues. While Harry Gatos may call on you occasionally, Stowaway Freshwater will be your base.
What You’ll Get:
- Supportive owners + creative input
- Balanced roster with realistic hours
- Fun, community-driven environment
You’ll Bring:
- Proven kitchen experience
- A calm, organised, and efficient work style
- The confidence to run a section while supporting the team where needed
- Professional pride, a collaborative spirit, and genuine enthusiasm for good food
Your Duties:
The Chef De Partie will be responsible for the following duties:
- Follow recipes and product directions for preparing food.
- Maintain Kitchen Cleanliness and Safety.
- Ensure Ingredient Quality.
- Contribute to Menu Development.
- Coordinate with Other Sections to ensure the timing of food service.
- Stock, date, rotate and check temperature of product.
- Ensuring the kitchen adheres to the dietary requirements, health and safety of its customers.
- Training junior staff on techniques and cooking procedures.
- Team leadership.
- Clean and sanitise work stations and equipment.
- Positive communication skills.
- Discussing food preparation issues with Managers, Dietitians, kitchen and wait staff.
If the above appeals to you, we'd love to hear from you.
