CHEF
Phil Clark, Chef.
After working for some of New Zealand’s top chefs at Auckland’s top restaurants including The Wharf, Pure Restaurant and SIDART he packed up his knives and followed his passion to London. Working in Michelin star restaurants for 4 years he learned his plethora of kitchen skills and cooking techniques under chefs Anthony Demetre and Tom Aikens’ at Wild Honey, Arbutus and Tom Aikens’ Restaurant.
After the closing of Tom Aikens’ restaurant in 2014, Phil returned to his home town of Auckland with the ambition to open his own restaurant. After a short but influential term at Merediths under Michael Meredith his dream was just around the corner and the doors to Phil’s Kitchen opened on March 31st 2015.
After 7 years, Phil made the decision to close Phil's Kitchen, and place his focus and energy into Kingsland Social. With a number of pubs in the Kingsland area, Phil wanted to create a family friendly place where people can come together and dine.
You can enjoy a coffee, breakfast, brunch or lunch at Kingsland Social. You can also bring your children, grandchildren, or dogs, and relax while you read the paper or a book. Dinner service has also started on Friday and Saturday evenings. Expect amazing food with quality ingredients.
We hope to see you soon.
