Hi, I'm Colin Jewell

Contract Chef


I've been a chef for 23 years, and have worked across Australia! I support large volume outlets, event centres, offsite location events, restaurants, hotels and catering venues who want to achieve consistently high standards. I repeat business through high customer satisfaction, and a reputation for quality. I work professionally, efficiently and fast, on-the-job with their team. I am a proactive problem solver with a strong B2B network and excel at procurement and logistics.


Bottom line: I raise standards and improve quality, creating delicious, mouth-watering dishes whilst meeting (or frequently beating) timelines. I streamline production and establish standards.
