Catering to your needs

Hi, I'm Shawn. Born and raised in Christchurch New Zealand, I trained and worked at the award-winning George Boutique Hotel for four years before packing my bags and setting out to explore our great wide world. 

Between adventures, I had the privilege to work in some amazing restaurants and learn from critically acclaimed, passionate and talented chefs throughout New Zealand, the UK and Australia.

It was during my time in Scotland, however, that I met my Australian wife and followed her home to the Gold Coast. While we continued to explore our beautiful planet, we're not quite as nomadic as we once were and I've spent the last decade working for the man, running kitchens in various hotels and cafes in Brisbane and on the coast. 

Now, as a father of 2 little girls, with a continuing passion for travel, surfing, and doing things a little differently, it is finally time to launch my own brand- Rebel Fork.

I have been keen to have my own business for several years, however, I have spent enough time in the hospitality industry to recognise that the demands of opening a brick and mortar café or bistro was not going to allow me to spend the quality time with my wife and daughters that they deserve. A food truck gives me flexibility and a chance to do things differently.

I also love the ever-changing nature of the business. Through my food truck I have the opportunity to meet new people and visit amazing events and locations. Every day is different, and I embrace the challenge that this brings.

I consider it a privilege to be a part of a client’s special event, whether it be a party, wedding or corporate celebration, and I take the responsibility of catering these functions very seriously. 

While I have various menu options available for selection, as an experienced chef, I also have the knowledge, skills and creativity required to create alternative dishes to suit your needs. I am more than happy to work with you to find the right menu for your event.

I believe great communication is the key to success and will strive to ensure that all bases are covered to help make your event one to remember!

So if you’re looking for catering, whether it be burgers and share plates or something a bit fancier, look no further! Send an enquiry today. We’d love to hear from you!
