Chef
James Ward
Emigrating from Suffolk, England in 2002, Chesters’ Head Chef James Ward settled in Perth to set up a new life with his Australian wife. From beginning his career in large London hotels, he found his niche within the small bistros in Europe and Australia, and has been committed for 13 years to the industry.

Arriving at Chesters in May 2007, he quickly slotted in as Sous Chef for 1 year, and has now been duly promoted to lead as the Head Chef at Chesters since July 2008. Bringing with him a background full of skills and knowledge, he has worked hard in creating an ever evolving menu that reflects the heart of Chesters.
