Life at Pasture Group Restaurants

Our team’s work/life balance is extremely important to us. At Pasture, our team of fine-dining chefs enjoy a four day work week so they have more down time for friends/family. Management will never work more than 4 evenings in one week. With the opening of Alpha we are able to rotate our staff throughout each of our spaces (Boxer/Pasture/Alpha) so they can develop different skills and enjoy extra evenings off. An international rarity in the world of fine dining. 

We provide our own mentorship and skill-building for our team as well as provide outside experts to strengthen our team (from wine experts and internationally acclaimed chefs to certified performance coaches) to help our team to grow their skills across many avenues of their career, maintain their physical and mental health, and grow as human beings.

We are passionate about giving back to our community through charitable giving (with organizations such as the New Zealand Mental Health Foundation), community workshops and events.

We are committed to continuing to strive for innovation in the kitchen. Not solely as innovation on the plate also as innovation in our culture as a kitchen and team
