Originally born and raised in Brisbane, Chef Shayne Mansfield discovered his passion for food and cooking from a young age, learning the culinary basics in the kitchen with his grandmother. Inspired to turn his passion into a career, he trained under Philip Johnson at Brisbane institution E’cco Bistro, where he developed a deep appreciation for high-end dining.  

In 2011, Chef Shayne embarked on a culinary journey to chase the (Michelin) stars, moving to London and working at prestigious establishments like Scott’s in Mayfair and Pollen Street Social, where he was part of the opening team for City Social, earning a Michelin Star within just four months of opening. 

After over a decade overseas and interstate, Chef Shayne has returned home to Brisbane where it all started to lead the culinary team at The Star Brisbane’s much-anticipated Sky Deck venues where his emphasis on sustainability, local sourcing and minimal wastage will take centre stage.
