HEAD CHEF CHRIS HAGAN

Born in Manchester UK, Head Chef Chris Hagan realised his passion for cooking at a young age and has followed his calling across the world. His years of classical French training shine in the fine technique that frames his beautifully refined, delightfully inventive, sometimes whimsical, and always delicious food. He worked at the Michelin Starred restaurant Fischer’s of Baslow Hall in Derbyshire in his teens and studied at Sheffield College.

With experience in both European and Antipodean cuisine, paired with his passion for Japanese finesse, he enjoys creating clean precise dishes with unique balance and refined elegance. Chris takes his inspiration from around the world, with hundreds of famous chefs’ books adorning the shelves at home. After winning the NZ/UK Link Foundation Young Chef of the Year in 2006 the opportunity to travel presented itself. Chris moved to New Zealand working in a number of acclaimed restaurants for several years.

When he first moved to Australia, he spent time in Daylesford and McLaren Vale, later settling in Queensland at top restaurants in Brisbane before relocating to The Long Apron in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and now here at Locale, Noosa.
