Commis Chef

We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Casual Commis Chef to join the team at The Cove in Patterson Lakes. If you’re all about good food, good people and a bit of controlled chaos — we’d like to hear from you.

The Cove Hotel is a premier dining and entertainment venue offering one of the most spectacular water views right on the marina in Patterson Lakes.
The bistro offers contemporary casual dining in a relaxed setting; catering to both the traditional indoor style seating, by the fireplace and an enclosed deck area capturing the view of the marina.

Pegasus Leisure Group (PLG) is the hospitality arm of the Melbourne Racing Club, managing a growing network of 16 pubs, clubs and hospitality venues across Victoria. Our venues include bistros, sports bars, function spaces and gaming areas, each focused on delivering great hospitality experiences within their local communities.

You’ll work with a solid kitchen team who know how to get the job done, back each other, and still have a laugh when things get hectic. From prep to pass, it’s hands-on, fast-paced and never boring.

  • Running your section during service and keeping things moving on the pass
  • Keeping your station clean, organised and ready for the next wave of tickets

This is a hands-on, fast-paced kitchen role — expect to be on your feet, moving stock, lifting boxes or kegs, and getting stuck into a busy service. If you like sitting still… this probably isn’t for you.

  • Food Handlers Certificate
  • Experience in a busy pub, bistro or high-volume kitchen
  • Solid understanding of basic cooking methods and how to execute a recipe properly
