Mr. Wolf
"Whether for the restaurant or home, I know that I’m going to find everything I need for my kitchen at Chef’s Hat. And it’s pretty rare that I don’t walk out with a few extra things, too. As well as all the classic tools, they always have new and interesting stock – and I’m just a sucker for great cooking equipment – and all backed up by specialised knowledge and honest opinions."

Billy’s Kitchen Knox Ozone
“We have been a regular customers of Chef’s Hat (South Melbourne) for several years due to their proximity to our restaurant located in Southbank. With our new restaurant, in the Eastern suburbs, we continue to work with Chef’s Hat due to the great service and range provided by Rusty & the Chef's Hat team. We have recently completed an expansive fit out for a 250 seat restaurant at Knox City Shopping centre and find Chef’s Hat an ideal partner for virtually all our kitchen and shop fit-out requirements. Always very prompt in ensuring orders are placed and dispatched for quick delivery, they have an extensive range and always offer competitive pricing. I highly recommend choosing Chef’s Hat as your restaurant supplier“

Short Straw
"We've setup a few cafes from scratch in the last few years. Every cafe site poses new challenges and obstacles in terms of equipment, floor plan, work flow, maximizing seating. You'd think after the fourth or fifth cafe it would eventually get easier. We find things which work for us, and we carry them on to the next business, and things which don't we look for alternatives.
Chef’s Hat has been a staple since the first place we setup in 2011. CH put their name and reputation behind the products they sell. It literally is a one-stop shop for everything you'll need to open a cafe. Their crockery is second to none. Pricing is as always competitive. Communication from the sales team is impeccable"

“The restaurant game is populated with big-talkers but precious few who can do what they promise. Chef’s Hat has been, from the beginning, a restaurateur’s best friend. Accessible, dynamic and dripping with ideas. Restaurant openings are nightmarish enough but with Chefs Hat on your side the pain is considerably less. I wouldn’t dream of doing business without them.”
