Chef Joshua Clarke

I create vibrant, ingredient-led dining experiences built on simplicity, bold flavors, and world-class technique.

Andrew Barkham

I cook modern, produce-driven food where simplicity does the heavy lifting.

I’m a professional chef with over 20 years of experience, from Michelin-star kitchens to Australia’s top venues. My work has taken me across London, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and even Iraq, and I’ve been shaped by some incredible mentors along the way, including the late Gary Rhodes, Andrew McConnell, and Ross Lusted.

I recently moved to Perth, where I was the Executive Chef at QT Hotel, and I now work as a New Product Development Chef. No matter the setting, I focus on clean execution, thoughtful seasoning, and food that feels exciting but never overcomplicated.

I believe in simplicity—find the key flavors and elevate them.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I keep it fun, approachable, and delicious

Cooking is fun and enjoyable for me—especially when I’m cooking with my four-year-old daughter—and I bring that same relaxed confidence to every service while still delivering sharp, professional results.

I bring world-class training and leadership

I learned my craft through kitchens like Rhodes 24 in London, The Bridge Room in Sydney, and venues across Melbourne including Supernormal, Cumulus, Cutler & Co, and Builders Arms Hotel. I later led the kitchen as Executive Chef at QT Hotel in Perth, and that mix of mentorship and leadership shapes how I cook today.

I elevate simplicity with precision

My “secret” in the kitchen is simplicity: I focus on key flavors, treat ingredients with respect, and elevate them through technique, balance, and clean presentation.
