Full Job Description

Head Chef - Theatre Restaurant, Newcastle/Hunter

This isn’t a kitchen. It’s a stage.

Flamingos Live is a heritage Art Deco theatre restaurant with over a century of history — and it’s in the middle of its most exciting chapter yet. Many will know this venue from its years as Lizotte’s, one of the Hunter’s most beloved live music dining destinations. We’ve carried that legacy forward and taken it somewhere new.

We don’t turn tables. We host live shows, theatrical dining experiences, and events that leave people talking for years. Our food is part of the performance - and we’re looking for a Head Chef who understands that.

The Role

Full creative and operational ownership of the kitchen. You’ll design menus, lead your team, control costs, and set the standard - reporting directly to the owners with a genuine voice in how the food experience evolves alongside the venue.

Our primary model is show-aligned dining: structured service, no relentless à la carte grind. Primarily Thursday-Sunday show nights with weekday prep. Busy periods are real and intense - but they’re predictable, and that’s a genuine advantage. We do host occasional showcase evenings that require à la carte capability, so versatility matters.

We’re hiring now, with an immediate start available.

What This Role Involves

Menu design and seasonal development, with genuine creative freedom
Kitchen leadership - rostering, team culture, and performance standards
Purchasing, supplier relationships, and stock management
Prep and service across show nights and private functions
Waste minimisation, margin discipline, and food safety compliance
Maintaining the standard of a kitchen we’re genuinely proud of
We’re investing in proper kitchen costing infrastructure - you’ll have ownership of ingredient costings and batch recipes from day one, with support to get the system built out

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience as a Head Chef, or a senior Sous Chef ready and hungry to step up
Strong grasp of food costing, batch recipes, and margin control
A collaborative instinct - you’ll work closely with a small, committed team and the owners directly
Flexibility for evening and weekend shows, with some weekday prep and events
Genuine passion for quality - we receive consistent compliments on our food and intend to keep earning them
Someone who wants ownership, not just employment

What We Offer

$75,000 - $90,000 depending on experience
Real creative autonomy - you’ll shape the menu, not just execute it
A venue with over 100 years of history and a story genuinely worth being part of
Direct access to ownership and a voice in where the venue goes next
A small, loyal team and a kitchen that runs on pride
An environment that simply doesn’t exist anywhere else in Australia

Send your CV and a brief note on why this role interests you to [email protected]. Applications reviewed immediately - we’re hiring now.
