Chef Jethro provides an exquisite Asian fine dining experience, with a focus on Thai cuisine and beyond — with a contemporary twist. Drawing from the vibrant flavours of Southeast and East Asia, every menu is refined through classical technique and a deep respect for seasonal produce.

What distinguishes Jethro is his unique approach — highlighting the vibrant and bold flavours of Asian cuisine with 19 years of professional experience, including five years at the acclaimed Spirit House. Every menu is written personally and from scratch. There is no template, no shortcuts — just exceptional food crafted specifically for your evening.

Chef Jethro accommodates a wide variety of dietary needs and requirements. Please note that onion, garlic and shrimp (shellfish) are commonly used in this style of cuisine — however all dietary requirements can be discussed and accommodated when you enquire. Simply let us know at the time of booking.

This is an exclusive dining experience featuring chef-selected menus. There are no set alternatives — everyone receives the same menu unless they have specific dietary needs. Chef Jethro designs the menu personally based on the season, your occasion and any dietary requirements you share. The sample menus on each experience page give you a strong indication of the style and quality.

Chef Jethro's calendar typically books 2–3 months in advance, particularly for weekend dates and peak seasons such as Christmas and Valentine's Day. We recommend enquiring as early as possible to secure your preferred date. Exceptions can sometimes be made for last-minute requests — don't hesitate to reach out and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Chef Jethro caters to a diverse range of events — including anniversary dinners for couples, dinner parties, milestone birthdays, corporate functions, hens parties and more. If you have a specific occasion in mind, simply get in touch and we'll find the right experience for you.

To reserve your experience, simply fill out the enquiry form with your preferred event date, number of guests, location and the experience you're interested in. Chef Jethro will respond personally within 24 hours to confirm availability. To secure your booking, a deposit of 25% is required within 48 hours of confirmation.

Typically it's just Chef Jethro handling everything — cooking, plating and serving each course with care. For larger groups or those wanting a more formal restaurant-style experience, professional waitstaff can be arranged as an optional enhancement. Simply mention this when you enquire and it can be included in your quote.

Chef Jethro services from Gympie and Noosa, across the Sunshine Coast, through Brisbane's CBD and surrounding areas, as well as the Gold Coast and beyond. He is willing to travel greater distances for larger groups — just reach out to discuss your location.

Yes — Chef Jethro regularly caters for larger groups and can scale the experience accordingly. For groups of 15 or more, additional logistics such as waitstaff or equipment may be discussed at the time of enquiry. Simply reach out and we'll put together the right package for your occasion.

Chef Jethro arrives with everything needed for the evening — all ingredients sourced fresh that day, cooking equipment, crockery and serving ware. Your kitchen simply becomes his workspace. He sets up, cooks, plates each course, serves and leaves the space completely spotless.

Beverage service is not included as standard, however Chef Jethro is happy to provide wine pairing recommendations to complement your menu. Guests are welcome to supply their own drinks, and we can advise on what pairs beautifully with each course upon request.

The full in-home experience runs approximately 5 hours from Chef Jethro's arrival to clean-down. The dining itself is paced at a relaxed, unhurried rhythm — allowing you to fully enjoy each course and the conversation between them.

Very little. Chef Jethro will discuss any specific requirements with you prior to the evening. On the night itself, your only responsibility is to be present and enjoy the experience. He handles everything else — setup, cooking, service and cleanup.
