Chef De Partie

A Place to Belong…
The Alcott is part of Norths Collective – a forward thinking, fresh and competitive brand who are leaders in the club and gaming industry. All about bringing people together through the sharing of exceptional food, drinks, events, health and fitness and entertainment experiences. A not for profit business, we are passionate about our commitment to giving back to our community through sport, social and sustainability initiatives

About the role:
Our story begins with a stone. With an extensive transformation designed to satisfy the entire Lane Cove community, this special place begins yet another new chapter as ‘The Alcott’. Meaning ‘from the old cottage’, it’s a nod to our origins, and a sign we’re still making history. From the vibrant Spritz bar and inspired outdoor dining terrace, to the exclusive event spaces and a dedicated place to play, The Alcott is a place for North Shore locals to connect and relax without leaving the Lower North Shore. Where mid-century design intersects with contemporary style for old-school cool. And, the stone? It’s still here. You’ll see it set into the wall as you walk in. Because time moves on, but some things never change.
