Introducing our first Dare to Dine Chef for 2026: Danny Corbett, Group Executive Chef, The Point* Group
Danny plays a defining role in shaping the food, standards and culinary identity behind some of the Group's most acclaimed restaurant openings. Since joining in 2021, Danny has been central to the success of its venues, particularly Shell House and The International, both of which quickly became two of Sydney's most acclaimed restaurants. Drawing on more than two decades of experience in leading kitchens across Europe and Australia, his cooking is grounded in strong technique, outstanding produce and food with a clear sense of identity.
Danny's early career included three years with Gary Rhodes at the Michelin-starred Rhodes W1 in London, followed by a period at the three Michelin-starred Restaurant Gordon Ramsay under Clare Smyth. He went on to lead the kitchen at Gallery Restaurant in Scotland, earning a Michelin star. After relocating to Australia, Danny continued his trajectory at some of the country's most highly regarded restaurants, including the three-hatted Quay and two-hatted Bécasse.
Today, Danny leads The Point* Group's senior culinary team across Shell House, The International, The Dolphin Hotel, Hotel Harry and Hotel Canobolas. Working alongside the Group's head chefs, he continues to evolve the menus, dining experiences and culinary direction of each venue, with a focus on food that is distinctive, generous and innovative.
As The Point* Group looks to the future, Danny's experience, leadership and commitment to culinary excellence will help shape the next chapter of the Group.
We are so excited to have Danny onboard for Dare to Dine 2026 alongside an incredible line up of chefs including Mark Hanover, Monty Koludrovic, Justin North and our very own James Metcalfe.
