MEET THE CHEF | DAMIEN SPIROSKI
As part of the next chapter of food at The Matto, we’re introducing some of the people behind the plates.
Damien brings a love for bold flavours, comforting classics and food designed to be shared around the table.
A few things about Damo:
🍽 Deserted island meal:
Deep fried camembert, Nonna’s lasagne & chocolate brownie.
🍷 Dream dinner guests:
Anthony Bourdain, Albert Einstein & Colin Fassnidge.
🍜 One ingredient he’s excited to explore more:
Kombu, building layered broths and Asian-inspired soups.
🎸 Music taste?
Red Hot Chili Peppers
And his journey with the Social Skilled family started back at The Banksia… and somehow we keep pulling him back in 😂
Stay tuned as we introduce more of the kitchen team helping shape the future of food at The Matto.

The Next Chapter of Food at The Hotel 🍽️
We’re taking our food in a new direction built around quality pub dining, shared experiences and becoming the local spot people genuinely want to gather in.
Expect:
• Next-level pub classics
• Family-friendly dining
• Better steaks & schnitzels
• Weekend chef specials
• Food designed for long lunches, catch-ups and celebrations
By day, relaxed local dining.
By night, social energy and atmosphere.
Most importantly, this is food built for the community and the memories made around the table.
Over the next few days, we’ll also introduce the chefs behind the vision and the people helping shape the next era of food at The Matto 👨🍳🔥
See you soon.
