owner/chef
Lester Aruta has been the chef and owner/operator of Paddock on Crown since October 2017. Lester has refined his experience from high end Sydney restaurants and catering on & off-site for the last sixteen years before taking over Paddock on Crown.

"I wanted something to call my own. Everything was new to me in the beginning, as a chef you can normally hide away in the kitchen, but when you’re the face of something you have to get to know the customers. And it’s turned into something I really enjoy.”
