Our Chef
Joseph Griffin
Head chef and founder of Joe Chef catering and events
Joe’s culinary adventure began in Melbourne, where he trained in prestigious hatted restaurants and developed a deep passion for seafood. His career as a chef has taken him across Australia and Europe, honing his skills while combining his love for food and surfing.
Throughout his journey, Joe has collaborated with renowned teams in award-winning restaurants such as Bacash in Melbourne, Porthminster in St Ives, Cornwall (UK), and Harvest in Newrybar. His expertise lies in crafting exceptional dining experiences, with a strong emphasis on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and customized menus tailored to each event.
Since founding Joe Chef in 2013, the business has grown to cater to a diverse range of events in Byron Bay and beyond. What truly sets Joe Chef apart is its integration with a commercial fishing operation Joe fishes out of the Pass in Byron Bay, ensuring that only the freshest, line-caught seafood is served at his events.
Committed to delivering restaurant quality service in breathtaking locations, the Joe Chef team is dedicated to creating unforgettable dining experiences where sustainability, exquisite flavours, and outstanding hospitality come together seamlessly.
