The Chef Link Story

Chef Link is a Cairns family business supplying restaurant and catering equipment and hospitality supplies to food service and accommodation venues. Cameron and Mandy Ross opened the first shop on Sheridan Street, Cairns City, in 2000. From that store the business has grown into a warehouse, shop and equipment showroom on Plath Close, Portsmith — still family-run, still buying for kitchens that actually run service.

We stock the everyday lines as well as the kit that fits out a venue: food packaging, cooking supplies, cleaning, uniforms, tabletop, and commercial equipment. The idea has not changed since Sheridan Street: a comprehensive range, fast fulfilment, and value you can run a kitchen on.

Hospitality people, not a call centre

Our customer service team come from hospitality and accommodation — chefs, front of house and bar, cafe and takeaway operators, hotel and short-stay management. If you are not sure what you need, come in and talk it through. We would rather send the pan, uniform or oven that suits the job than the one that sits in the box.

Visit the shop and showroom

You are welcome at Plath Close, Portsmith. The site takes in our offices and packaging warehouse, the Chef Link shop, and the equipment showroom. Same-day delivery is available for Cairns city orders placed by 12pm. We are open Monday–Friday 8.30am–4.30pm and Saturday 9am–12pm.

Online, one trade account covers the catalogue — order templates, statements, and (for approved accounts) trade credit. Catalogue prices are GST-exclusive; GST is added at checkout. Capital equipment can be funded through SilverChef from the same checkout.

Guides and SDS

Product sizing and equipment advice lives in our buying guides. For Gastronorm pans, see the Gastronorm Pan Buying Guide. Safety data sheets are in the SDS library.
