Head Chef, Sous Chef, Chef de Partie

Stallion is Mansfield’s modern Euro-Italian dining room — woodfire, some pasta .. a litle left field of your run of the mill euro restaurant, excellent wine & cocktails, late-night energy, and a standard that punches well above regional expectations.

We’re building a serious kitchen team  for our 2025-26 direction and are hiring across all senior levels.

Sadly we are saying goodbye to a few of our key kitchen members who have been with us for over 2-3 years, who are pursuing a lifestyle change. It just happened to be almost all at a similar time... Aww Shucks!!

ABOUT STALLION

Stallion is a modern Euro-Italian dining room in the heart of Mansfield. We focus on woodfire cooking, refined pasta and European technique, great wine & cocktail program, tight service, and late-night atmosphere. Think inner-city energy, executed in the High Country.

Located in Mansfield (regional north east victoria), with Mt. Buller nearby we are fortunate to experience two busy seasons. Winter brings the snow obsessed, and summer is our busiest time with camping, nearby lake activities, down hill mountain biking to name a few things that the crowds flock to our town for. 

If you're looking for a tree-change or to get out of the hustle & bustle, get in touch. 

We are accepting applications now, for an immediate start to get you trained up and ready to roll for the summer season ahead. 

Please email : howdy@stallion3722.com with a cover lettter & your resume. 

Thank you.
