Head Chef

Stephen came to The Agrarian Kitchen in 2018 after he saw an opportunity to focus his cooking on what he is most passionate about; high quality ingredients from local producers. He quickly stepped into the role of Head Chef where he has been able to establish close working relationships with Tasmanian producers and growers bringing local ingredients to the forefront of high-quality dining in Tasmania.

Stephen grew up in the Northern Rivers in NSW and trained as a Chef in several high-end restaurants. A stint in London saw him working at Paxton Whitfield Cheesemongers where his passion for small scale dairy production began. This passion has been instrumental in building the in-house cheese program at The Agrarian Kitchen, something the team are proud to offer to every restaurant guest. Stephen also teaches cheese making classes at the cooking school.
