OWNER & CHEF

Scott Pickett

Leading Australian chef Scott Pickett is steeped in tradition, a proud custodian of his profession’s heritage yet equally passionate about mentoring and finding energy in the next generation. “I love everything about restaurants,” he says. “The energy. The organised chaos. The tired feeling in your bones after a great service. The camaraderie too.” ‘Chefo’ to all. Pickett owns venues in Melbourne. Rather than being linked by cuisine - Chancery Lane is French, Longrain is Thai, stately Matilda is a contemporary grill - his restaurants are characterised by real cooking and heartfelt hospitality.

About Chancery Lane

Chancery Lane is an elegant and timeless restaurant in Melbourne's legal district, with touches of grandeur and a kitchen steeped in classic French techniques. Whether you're piling caviar onto blini or cutting into perfectly grilled rump cap, it's impossible not to be swept up by an everpresent sense of occasion.
