Bangalay is honoured to join the Shoalhaven Food Network showcasing the diversity and the quality of our hospitality industry in the Shoalhaven with the annual 'Autumn Celebration of Food'.
Originally from Bath, UK, Simon began his career in Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe before spending four years as a private chef on superyachts and luxury estates. Since moving to Australia, Simon has built an impressive career, rising to Head Chef at Homage in Queensland where he championed fire cooking and sustainability, earning consecutive Good Food Chef Hats.
He went on to establish The Paddock at Beechmont Estate, transforming it into a celebrated paddock-to-plate restaurant, and more recently led the kitchens at Rowlee and Printhie Winery, curating seasonal menus that highlighted New South Wales produce.
At Bangalay Dining, Simon brings his philosophy of "conscious cooking" — contemporary, natural food that celebrates local ingredients, minimises waste, and showcases the South Coast.
The evening includes a pre-dinner drink and entertainment followed by our new 5 course 'Winter Chef's Selection Menu'
Proudly supported by the Shoalhaven Food Network as part of the Autumn Celebration of Food.
