HEAD CHEF | KYLE MARSHALL

Kyle Marshall’s love for good food has always been prevalent, alongside his love for sports, in particular the game of cricket. This naturally led to Kyle finding himself alternating between batting and batter, and bowls and bowling! Knowing that a professional sports career doesn’t last forever, he completed a part-time cooking diploma from Capsicum Culinary Studio to get some well-rounded experience in the kitchen.

After graduating from Capsicum, Kyle’s cricket career took him to England for six months. While there, he got his first taste of working in a professional kitchen with a part-time job in a small village café in northern England. Upon returning home, he landed his first hotel job at the Southern Sun Hyde Park Hotel where he worked as a commis chef; a good introduction to working in a fast-paced, high demand environment.

A year later, he moved to 54 on Bath in Rosebank, met his mentor Matthew Foxon and learnt to be a chef, through long hours, plenty of coffee, striving for perfection and the kind of camaraderie he’s only experienced in a team change room.

After three years, he moved to Palazzo Montecasino where he learnt just how much he could achieve on his own, giving him the confidence to be where he is now: creating and executing his own menus. The lockdown period has also given Kyle the opportunity to develop his entrepreneurial side, through owning and operating a private chef business, where he is pre-booked by private clients.

At present, Kyle is a partner and executive chef at The 11^th Floor where he applies his talents to continually develop and shape the vision, food and customer experience of our rooftop restaurant into the highly sought-after venue it is fast becoming in the heart of Bedfordview.
