MEET THE TEAM
You see the smiling faces, the busy hands and the occasional questionable dance moves… but how well do you really know the crew behind The Bark Mill?
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be introducing you to the legends who help keep things running — from the kitchen to the bar, bakery cafe, bottle shop and everywhere in between!
MEET ADAM "PADDY" WILSON
A Belfast boy who came to Tasmania a decade ago… and just forgot to leave
Now a proud Aussie citizen, professional chef and yes… his nickname is “Paddy.” Original, we know
Adam spends his days playing with fire and knives in a somewhat professional kitchen, creating culinary chaos one sizzling pan at a time
His kitchen is basically his own beautiful identity crisis — part Irish stew, part modern Australian and 100% full of Belfast sarcasm
If you can understand his accent over the sound of a sizzling pan, you’ll get along just fine
Favourite thing about working at The Bark Mill: The kitchen camaraderie, shared laughs, music and mutual support...like a little family
Go to dish: Spaghetti Carbonara
Chef Paddy — keeping the kitchen hot, the food coming and the sarcasm flowing!
Next time you’re at The Bark Mill, say g’day… if you can understand him and stay tuned as we introduce more of our crew
Because The Bark Mill wouldn’t be The Bark Mill without the people behind it!
