Mark Hannon

With over three decades of culinary experience across multiple continents, I have honed my craft in some of the world’s most dynamic and demanding kitchens. My journey began humbly as a bartender and kitchen-hand, but my passion for the culinary arts quickly propelled me to more challenging roles. Over the decades, I have worked in diverse environments, from the heart of Belfast’s vibrant food scene to the prestigious kitchens of Melbourne, with added stints in France and New Zealand. 

My career highlights include preparing exquisite meals for major events such as the Australian Open, Formula 1 Melbourne Grand Prix, Melbourne Cup Carnival, and the Melbourne Food & Wine Festival. I have also catered to the elite in fine dining establishments, overseen banquets, and managed large-scale catering for the mining sector. Whether it is a deluxe buffet, à la carte service, or room service in leading hotels and restaurants, I bring a wealth of knowledge and an adventurous spirit to every culinary challenge.
 

I am an outgoing and adaptable professional, always eager to embrace new opportunities and experiences. My roles in Melbourne’s hospitality industry allow me to continue contributing my expertise and passion for food.
