Fat Pomelo is a modern South East Asian restaurant built on bold, produce-driven cooking and genuine hospitality. We serve food that's vibrant, considered and true to the flavours of the region — and we've built a place people are proud to call their local. We're independent, and we build a restaurant to last, not to chase trends.

We're looking for an exceptional Head Chef to lead our kitchen into its next chapter.

About the Role

This is a hands-on leadership role for a chef who wants real ownership of a kitchen. You'll shape the menu, run every service and set the standard on every plate that leaves the pass. Just as importantly, you'll build and mentor the team — creating a kitchen culture people want to be part of and stay in.

We're open to two kinds of chef: an established Head Chef ready for their next challenge, or a strong Sous Chef ready to step up into their first head role. If you've earned your stripes somewhere serious and you're hungry to lead, we want to hear from you.

You'll bring

• Experience in a highly regarded restaurant — hatted is ideal
• Head Chef experience, or a Sous Chef ready to step up into the role
• A strong grounding in South East Asian cooking and ingredients
• Leadership built on respect — we take how our kitchen feels to work in as seriously as what it sends out
• Commercial sharpness — you can plan a menu, write a roster, cost a dish and hit a food cost without cutting corners
• High standards, consistency and a genuine passion for produce and flavour

If you're ready to lead a kitchen and put your stamp on it, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now with your CV.
