NEWCASTLE / THE WILDERNESS CHEF

Meet The Wilderness Chef / Artisanal. Creative. Delicious.

Newcastle's culinary storyteller - The Wilderness Chef is a culinary experience that celebrates the art of connection, the beauty of nature and the joy of shared food.

Based in Newcastle and travelling across the Hunter region, The Wilderness Chef brings an unforgettable mix of refined dining and rustic soul to weddings, private events, and bespoke feasts under the stars.

Led by chef and founder Dan, The Wilderness Chef is renowned for transforming fresh, local ingredients into dishes that feel both comfortingly familiar and wildly creative. Each menu is designed with intention, drawing inspiration from the land, the season, and the stories of the people it’s created for. Think open-fire cooking, locally sourced produce, and plates that tell a story and are all served with relaxed elegance and a genuine love for flavour.

Whether it’s an intimate vineyard wedding, a long-table dinner in the bush, or a coastal celebration by the sea, The Wilderness Chef crafts every experience to feel raw, real, and utterly unforgettable. Every dish celebrates sustainability, creativity, and connection ~ the heart of everything The Wilderness Chef stands for.

With fire, flavour and flair, they turn every meal into a moment to remember.

Because at The Wilderness Chef Newcastle, food isn’t just eaten — it’s felt, shared, and celebrated.
