information
The Rick Stein at Bannisters restaurant was brought to Port Stephens to take advantage of the incredible seafood that is sourced from the area daily.
The menu can change daily based on what is caught by the local fishermen. From Kingfish, Flathead, John Dory, Sand Whiting, Oysters, Lobster and Tuna, every piece of fresh produce serves as inspiration for new recipes and dishes to be presented to guests.
Rick’s chefs keep dishes simple by choosing ingredients that naturally emphasise fresh seafood produce. Executed to perfection each dish delivers bursts of flavour that can be further complemented with the perfect wine pairing from our sommeliers recommendations.

"Since opening Rick Stein at Bannisters in Mollymook, we long thought it would be exciting to open another location, and then we found Port Stephens, right on the doorstep of some of Australia's best seafood."
Head Chef of Bannisters Port Stephens, Mitchell Turner’s passion for cooking began from a young age. Starting out practicing dicing and cutting in his family kitchen to achieving his first head chef position at the age of 21 and working as Sous Chef at the Michelin starred Castle Terrace in Edinburgh.
After returning to Australia, Mitchell joined Rick Stein at Bannisters before becoming Head Chef of The Rooftop Bar and Grill at Bannisters Pavilion. A lifelong enthusiast of Rick Stein seafood, he is thrilled to now be working on the mid north coast with the amazing seafood that is sourced daily.
