Meet our new Head Chef Hayden Vink and our new winter menu to go with

Meet Hayden Vink | Head Chef at Eagle Bay Brewing Co.

At Eagle Bay Brewing Co., great food has always been about bringing people together.

Now, we're excited to introduce the person leading the next chapter of our kitchen.

Meet Hayden Vink, our Head Chef.

Born and raised in Western Australia, Hayden brings years of experience, a passion for local produce and a cooking style that's designed to be shared around the table.

A Journey Through Great Kitchens

Hayden's culinary career has taken him from kitchens across Western Australia to Europe, where he refined his skills working in high-end restaurants, intimate degustation experiences and traditional wood-fired kitchens.

Along the way, he developed a cooking style influenced by a range of global cuisines while remaining firmly grounded in quality local ingredients.

Inspired by Bold Flavours

Hayden draws inspiration from South East Asian, Japanese and South American cooking.

The result is a menu that's vibrant, balanced and packed with flavour.

Expect bold sauces.

Fresh ingredients.

Thoughtful combinations.

And dishes designed to bring people together over good food, great drinks and long lunches.

Celebrating the South West

For Hayden, exceptional food begins with exceptional produce.

That's why the menu showcases the incredible ingredients grown and produced throughout the South West.

Seasonality plays a big role, allowing the kitchen to evolve throughout the year while making the most of what's fresh and local.

It's an approach that perfectly complements Eagle Bay's beers, wines and relaxed dining experience.

A Fresh Take on the Eagle Bay Menu

While Hayden has introduced plenty of exciting new dishes, his vision isn't about reinventing Eagle Bay Brewing Co.

It's about building on everything guests already know and love.

The menu remains relaxed, approachable and perfect for sharing, while introducing new flavours, seasonal inspiration and a few unexpected twists along the way.

Hayden's Favourite Dishes

One dish that perfectly sums up Hayden's cooking philosophy is the Pork Belly Buns.

Finished with Korean sweet chilli plum glaze, they're packed with bold flavour while remaining fun, approachable and incredibly moreish.

Other highlights from the menu include:

  • Chipotle Pork Collar Tacos
  • Chargrilled Octopus
  • Seasonal small plates
  • Wood-fired pizzas designed for sharing

Whether you're joining us for a casual lunch or a long afternoon with friends, there's plenty to discover.

Pull Up a Chair

We're thrilled to welcome Hayden to the Eagle Bay Brewing Co. family and can't wait to share his first menu with you.

Come and experience our new seasonal menu, enjoy a locally brewed beer or Eagle Bay Vineyard wine, and settle in for a long lunch overlooking the farm.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
