David Pugh

Executive Chef, Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre

David Pugh’s name and reputation is synonymous with a number of Brisbane’s leading restaurants. Recipient of numerous hats associated with his own Restaurant Two, a Former Queensland Ambassador Chef and now Executive Chef of the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC), David was also recently awarded the Icon of the Year at the Courier Mail Food Awards 2019.

With an impeccable culinary pedigree, David has carved out a stellar career working with some of the world’s finest chefs in New Zealand, in the United Kingdom at London’s famous Connaught Hotel and here in Australia, where his unabating passion for local produce has provided his inspiration and remains central to his cooking today.

His work at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre has seen him responsible for the establishment of the very successful dedicated Dietary Kitchen, a first for an Australian Convention Centre, set up to deal with the ever increasing number of special dietaries which make up 20% - 30% of all meals served at the Centre.

David travelled extensively throughout the state during his time as Queensland Ambassador Chef, developing a strong rapport with suppliers, which he continues to maintain today. His style of modern Australian is perfectly complemented by the beautiful fresh seasonal produce available in Queensland - the food bowl of Australia.
