Do you love creating food that becomes part of an unforgettable night out? We’re looking for a talented chef to join our kitchen team at The Fox Hole — a cocktail bar and dining space in the heart of The Rocks, just minutes from Circular Quay.

About Us

With 100+ gins, 30 whiskies, 20 wines by the glass and a seasonal cocktail list, The Fox Hole is where great drinks meet modern British-inspired food. Alongside daily service, we deliver Gin & Tea (our spirited high tea), seasonal tasting dinners, and guided spirit pairings — experiences that make our kitchen a core part of the storytelling.

We’ve just moved into a custom-built venue and are growing our team as we write the next chapter in our story.

Why You’ll Love It Here

Salary & Perks – $70–80k + super (depending on experience), staff meals and drinks, tips shared across the team.

Discounts – up to 50% off for you and a guest across all our brands.

Growth – tailored training and development, with clear pathways into more senior roles coached by our talented Head Chef.

Connections – direct access to distillers, winemakers, and hospitality leaders.

Culture – regular staff social events and a team that backs each other every shift.

The Role

Reporting to our Head Chef, you’ll be hands-on in the kitchen — from Gin & Tea afternoons to busy bar service and multi-course dinners. Depending on your experience, this role can be shaped as a Chef de Partie or Junior Sous Chef position.

Key responsibilities include:

Running your section and delivering consistent, high-quality food.

Supporting menu development and prep schedules.

Leading and guiding junior staff during service.

Managing stock, wastage, and kitchen organisation.

Keeping food safety and cleanliness standards at their best.

About You

You’ll thrive here if you’re:

Energetic, reliable, and positive in your approach.

Detail-oriented, with pride in your craft.

Collaborative and communicative with the wider team.

Trade-qualified with CDP or Junior Sous experience.

Motivated to learn, grow, and contribute ideas.

(Pastry skills are a welcome bonus, but not essential — we’re looking for great all-rounders first and foremost.)

Apply Now

This is an opportunity to take the next step in your career at one of Sydney’s most exciting boutique venues. Whether you’re a strong CDP ready for more responsibility or a Junior Sous seeking your next challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
