Head Chef/Cook

Head Chef/Cook at NEST KIOSK KINGSTON PARK 

BRAND NEW Venture Opening February 2024

Situated along the ocean front where Kingston Park meets Seacliff Beach – this venture forms the third venue in our hospitality group after The Seller Door (café) - Brighton Beach, and The Local Canteen (coffee shop) - Henley Beach. 

In an architecturally designed new build by the City of Holdfast Bay and Troppo Architects, with uninterrupted coastal views, Nest Kiosk we will have a focus on speciality coffee, quality food offerings for brunch and dinner, complimented by local wine and beer. 

Our vision is to create a premium kiosk, where people can experience casual and beachside dining - think fish tacos with a glass of vino for dinner, as well as keeping true to some classic ‘kiosk’ offerings for those who roll off the beach and want an ice-cream and a cone of hot chips and calamari. In addition to regular dining and operations, we also see opportunity for this venue to transform for day and evening private and public events and featured themed nights - particularly in the Summer peak seasons.

We are on the hunt for an experienced kitchen team to lead and execute quality food operations of Nest Kiosk. We are looking for passionate, energetic and eager people to join us in this beachside venture, who we can collaboratively work alongside. Employment with us can commence in January 2024 prior to our anticipated open in February 2024.
