MEET CHRIS
I’ve always loved the outdoors and adventure. When I was young, you’d find me either clambering up the rocks at Greve or heading down the Five Mile to catch some waves.
The Good Stone is all about me going back to my roots and sharing that passion for adventure, open fire cooking and local food.
I first fell in love with the flavour potential of fire food when I trained as a pizza chef at a wood-fired bakery in Perth. It wasn’t long before I was being inspired by the ancient open fire cooking techniques of the Argentinian masters and the way they bring community and local producers together to celebrate food in its most primal state.
Whether I’m cooking my wood-fired pizzas or a full-scale fire feast, my mission is to take you with me on a journey of flavour and adventure. Feasting, fire and amazing food from our island, all right here, in the outdoors. And I promise, you’re going to love it.
We love cooking in full view of your guests, adding a touch of theatre to your event as the enticing aromas of smoke fill the air. Our custom-made fire rigs allow us to cook for large groups using traditional methods. Asado is more than just cooking, it's an art form.
We take great joy in welcoming curious guests who come up to chat about the wood we use and the wonders of barbecue. It’s these personal interactions that we cherish and that truly set us apart.
The iconic Good Stone Pizza trailer started as an ex-military trailer, transformed with fine craftsmanship into exactly what I envisioned. Featuring a custom-built wood-fired oven and a versatile prep area for crafting our homemade dough pizzas, it's a true centrepiece.
She’s not only a tool for crafting delicious pizzas but also for roasting veggies and slow-cooking large joints to mouthwatering perfection. Her glowing fire sets a magical, warm ambiance, creating an inviting backdrop that makes your big day truly unforgettable.
