Nathan Brindle, Private Chef


What is Themes?Themes is a small, family-operated private chef service, aiming to provide your meal with the perfect elements to elevate your day.

We choose to remain independent to allow us the flexibility to provide bespoke and intimately tailored menus, with themes that resonate with you.




Who is Nathan?“From a young age, I always had a desire to work with my hands. Cooking was the outlet that was available to me and ultimately led me to move away from my home on the south coast to Sydney at 15 to pursue a career in cooking at then two-hat restaurant Lucio’s under chef Timothy Fisher. 

Following my apprenticeship under Tim, I worked and operated a number of cafes, restaurants and catering companies back on the south coast, which afforded me a broad understanding of food operations and management. 

Ultimately, I found myself back in Sydney working at then three-hat Sepia on multiple sections before running a small bistro in the Inner-West called blancmange at 21.

The opportunity then presented itself to be featured on Masterchef Professionals which I pursued, moving to Melbourne to film for a short period of time that started in late 2012, and ended in a two-year hiatus working on a luxury charter vessel on the Kimberly Coast.

After the two years working abroad, I returned to Sydney to my current employment at Ester with Mat Lindsey, which has provided vast opportunities both locally and internationally to network and create.”
