At Humble Grape, food and wine are designed to be shared. Our kitchens build menus around small plates, sharing plates, and dishes crafted to complement our wine list — full of bold, food-friendly flavours that invite the table to order more, taste more, and linger longer.
Humble Grape is a growing and expanding group, currently 7 venues strong and actively searching for our next site. This is a great opportunity to join a business on the move, with real scope to grow alongside us.
We're looking for a hands-on, creative, and passionate Head Chef to lead our kitchen and bring this vision to life.
