Meet Geoff Abel, our Head Chef at @thelongapron and a true hinterland local. Starting as a kitchen hand at 15, his culinary journey took him from New Zealand to some of Australia’s finest restaurants.

He believes in letting quality ingredients shine: "When you have great ingredients, you don’t need to do much—just treat the produce with respect and don’t overcomplicate things."

His passion for from-scratch cooking and strong relationships with local producers ensure every dish reflects this philosophy. Living just minutes away from the restaurant with his family of six, he truly lives and breathes the #sunshinecoasthinterland. If you see him or the incredible team he leads at the pass, be sure to say hello.

A big thank you to Anna and Rowan of dunethin_house, a local Sunshine Coast business, for their thoughtful gift of custom wooden display risers for our restaurant. We use them to display our petit fours in the restaurant.

Their craftsmanship is exceptional, and their generosity reflects the kind of small business spirit we love to support. If you’re looking for bespoke, handcrafted pieces, they’re well worth checking out.

Last Sunday, Spicers Clovelly Estate was one of two retreats to host our annual collaborative event, this year titled 'Chefs on the Range'. It was a celebration of the best of Spicers dining with six of our Queensland chefs.

These special events allows our chefs to connect, inspire one another, and showcase their distinctive cooking styles. At Spicers Clovelly Estate, Head Chef Geoff Abel delivered a stunning menu, featuring dishes such as Peachester lamb with Paris gnocchi and canapés like compressed watermelon with cured kingfish, to name a few.

The menu was paired with exquisite French red wines provided by Joval Wines. The day concluded with a beautiful dessert prepared by Executive Chef Gareth Newburn of @thepeak.restaurant, followed by nostalgic fireside s’mores—a fitting finale to this unforgettable culinary event.

The stage is set, waiting for the first guests and for the magic to begin.

We tried a few outfits (read: plates) on our latest entrée. She looked good in every one.

'LITTLE WHITE GOATS CHEESE | salt baked beetroot, burnt onion jam, leek ash.'
