Darrell Felstead
HEAD CHEF
At the tender age of 12, Darrell was introduced to the magic world of hospitality at the Peacock Inn in Sussex, England, where he worked in the kitchen. His first full time job at The Savoy in London opened many doors and soon he was honing his skills at acclaimed Michelin Star restaurants including Pied a Terre London, Le Piurrie France, Café Royal London, as well as the 3 hatted Level 41, and Banc in Sydney.
Darrell had the unique opportunity of opening Sydney’s GPO as Executive Chef in 1999, which was a revolutionary concept. He was then given the challenge of reinventing our very own 3 Weeds Rozelle, which re-opened with critical acclaim and won a Chef’s Hat in its first year. In 2007, Darrell went out on his own and opened his own restaurant and bar, Foveaux and The Red Door, which won the coveted Best New Restaurant award and a Chef’s Hat within four months. To keep up with the times, he moved away from fine dining and transformed the restaurant into Foveaux St Dining and Deli Wine Bar in 2015; a fun, contemporary take on dining.
