Amanda Fuller

Amanda Fuller is an internationally recognised chef, currently residing as Group Executive Chef at the Sam Prince Hospitality Group, Sydney. 

Amanda gained notable recognition within the industry during a decade of service in London. With Oliver Peyton, OBE (an Irish restaurateur, and a judge on the BBC television series, Great British Menu) as a mentor, she was fortunate enough to work at some of London’s greatest establishments and for a ream of high society. Some of her career highlights include cooking for notable clients including The Royals, Bill Gates, Boy George and launching ‘No Meat Monday’, a not-for-profit campaign founded by the McCartney family.

Passion and diligence for the profession have been the driving focuses for Amanda since a young age. She has gone to great lengths to gain valuable experience since graduating from The Northern Sydney Institute in Ryde, including cooking with Indigenous Australian flavours in Uluru and gaining a deep respect for seasonal ingredients during her time in Tasmania. 

As the Group Executive Chef at the Sam Prince Hospitality Group, Amanda now works across restaurants Mejico, INDU and Kid Kyoto in the heart of Sydney. Passionate about growing chefs of the future, Fuller mentors rising talent and inspires them to rise up the culinary ranks. Every day is creative and includes menu development, working with supplier partners and looking at sustainable cooking practises.
