Matt's culinary journey began at Assaggio before moving to The Sebel, where he completed his apprenticeship and quickly rose to Sous Chef. He then played a key role in launching Mt Lofty Ranges Vineyard Restaurant as Head Chef, earning a Chef's Hat in its first year along with the 2016 Chef of the Year award. Matt's passion led him to Leonards Mill, where he helped retain the restaurant's Chef's Hat as Head Chef.
With a growing family, Matt sought a better work-life balance and found it as a personal chef, where he crafts daily menus and caters lavish dinner parties and functions. His dedication to produce, flavor, and innovation has always been at the forefront of his cooking, which he now brings to Next Chapter Catering.

TESTIMONIES
“It was our first time using a private chef and found it highly successful. Matt and Dave provided a delicious meal with the flavour of French cuisine as we had requested. The food was beautifully presented and each course was described to our guests. The guys were very easy to communicate with and replied promptly to all our emails. They accommodated to our guests with dietary requirements too. Overall we were very impressed and would use them again in the future”
Bernard
“ We used the guys last year for my Wife’s 40th and the food and service was so good that we had to get them back again to cater our staff show. They didn’t disappoint! Flavour and variety was great and attention to detail even in the way they clear the space afterwards. will use again that’s for sure”

“Matt, Dave and the team were absolutely incredible. I had a private dinner party for my 50th and they truly made the night so special. The food was amazing with so many compliments and the team were so quiet in the kitchen. Would definitely recommend and will be using them again.”
