Meet Gareth Newburn | Executive Chef of The Peak Restaurant
With experience in some of Australia’s most respected kitchens, Gareth brings a creative yet down-to-earth touch to every dish. His cooking is guided by a love for local produce and a thoughtful approach to flavour.
The Peak Restaurant has a proud history of working with local producers and suppliers across the Scenic Rim, and Gareth has highlighted a few of his favourites:
“The Van Velzen family grow redclaw crayfish on their 120-acre farm near Beaudesert. They’re completely off grid, using solar energy, practising regenerative agriculture, and avoiding chemicals, antibiotics, or animal products.”
He also praises 9Dorf Farms in the fertile Lockyer Valley for their eggs, free-range chicken, and sustainably grown Murray Cod, along with the Scenic Rim Farm Box initiative, which delivers the region’s best produce and products to Brisbane and beyond.
We’re looking forward to seeing Gareth’s passion and expertise come to life on the plate at The Peak.
