Group Executive Chef

About SVN Geeves Hospitality:

SVN Geeves Hospitality was founded with a simple but powerful vision: to bring high quality food and warm, memorable hospitality to local communities. What started as a single venue has grown into a collection of distinctive dining experiences, each with its own personality but all connected by a shared commitment to excellence.

We are the proud team behind My Mother’s Cousin (Bexley North and Marrickville) and Self Raised (Carlton, Bexley North and soon to be Merrylands). These venues reflect our belief in doing simple food exceptionally well.
