What made you choose Millbrook as an employer?

When I first arrived in Queenstown Millhouse was one of the very few fine dining restaurants and I really wanted to work on a scenic resort.

What made you decide to work as a head chef?

It was the next step for my career progression and being able to have the freedom to create my own menus.
