Owners & Chief Milkshake Maker
Cam, Selina and Eli
Since we took over The Fat Duck in 2016, we have loved living and working in one of the most beautiful parts of New Zealand. We take pride in providing the best hospitality for our guests. We are committed to continually developing our business and team while also being involved and contributing to the local community. But let's be honest, Eli is in it for the after-school milkshakes and hot chips.
Sous Chef
Joshua Raynel
Back in 2016, I went for an interview with Cam and Selina in Gore, thinking the job was in Gore and with no idea of where Te Anau was. Fast forward to 2021, I have been proudly working at The Fat Duck restaurant since Cam and Selina took over the restaurant in June 2016, helping to mould the restaurant into what it is today. In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games, cooking for others and road trips in my car.
Junior Sous Chef
Jovin Dorin
Hi, I am AJ. I am originally from the Philippines but I have lived in New Zealand for the last 7 years. I have worked here at The Fat Duck since December 2016. I love and am passionate about food and I like to bring some of my influence into our seasonal menus. In my spare time I like to be active by playing basketball, downhill mountain biking especially in Queenstown, or hitting the slopes on my snowboard.
