Head Chef

Whether it’s a round of pints, a classic feed, or a catch-up with mates, the Taproom is where locals come together. We’re all about fresh flavour, no-fuss hospitality, and creating a vibe that’s relaxed, welcoming, and unmistakably Kiwi. And we need a solid crew in the kitchen to keep it all humming.

Tuatara Taproom is on the hunt for a full-time Head Chef who’s confident leading a high-performing kitchen and passionate about crafting consistently great food. You’ll bring serious culinary experience and know how to lead a tight team in a busy service. From writing fresh, crowd-pleasing menus to smashing service times and managing food and wage costs, you’ve got the tools to take the reins and keep the kitchen firing. Calm under pressure, strong with systems, and a natural leader – sound like you?
