Whisk the cream in a bowl until a soft peak is reached. Place
Chefs to movie star status, C.ex Group head Chef
Greg Watkins, takes a more conventional approach to
and service which is supported by competitive pricing.
after completing his education at orara high school,
Greg was indentured to bonville international Golf resort
where 12 months after concluding his apprenticeship
was offered the head Chefs position. this was a massive
feather in Greg's cap and may have been seen as reward for
the young enthusiastic Chef, who funded himself through
Culinary school by means of evening bar shifts which
followed 10 hour days of kitchen work.
inquisitively he opted to head north for some years to
expand his industry knowledge and experience, working
for the marriott Gold Coast, sheraton mirage, restaurant
barcelona and the salty Plum. however it was most
probably Greg's maritime experience when employed on
stradbroke island at boarding the nightly ferry, which sank
on its return to the mainland, prompting him to change the
to open his own eatery on dry land.
soon after, Greg became the "Port of Call's" co-owner,
Port Douglas' first gastronomy restaurant which was quick
to gain reputation for its fine cuisine. On his return to the
mid North Coast Greg joined C.ex Coffs and in a short
space of 5 years has worked his way to the head Chefs
position. Greg and his professional team pride themselves
on blending the freshest ingredients in search of flavorsome
and comprehensive menu's which encompasses influences
from all around the globe. although hesitant to comment,
Greg has cooked for some prominent people throughout
the years which include President bill Clinton, Prime
minister bob hawke, red hot Chilli Peppers, marilyn
manson and Kiefer sutherland but includes the C.ex
members and patrons as the customers he likes to
please the most.
