From Three Hats to Home Plates: A Chef’s Passion

Having worked in some of the best three-hatted restaurants in Australia, my mission in founding Westbourne Lane in 2022 was clear: to create exceptional, simply prepared food that celebrates high-quality Australian produce, enabling people to enjoy wholesome meals from the comfort of their homes. My culinary journey has been profoundly shaped by invaluable experiences, particularly during my five impactful years at the renowned est., where I served as the right-hand man to Executive Chef Peter Doyle, including a significant period as Head Chef.

This high level of fine dining instilled in me the importance of precision, technique, and a deep respect for fresh ingredients. As I reflect on this journey, I believe that “working at a three-hat level of fine dining was a transformative experience that taught me to apply my training effectively. It demands focus, passion, and resilience, pushing one to be the best version of themselves.” At Westbourne Lane, I am dedicated to bringing that passion to life through a menu of customer favourites that highlights the richness of local produce and ensures an exceptional dining experience.
