Simon Gault: The Chef Who Knows How to Draw a Crowd

When you book Simon Gault, you’re not just getting a chef on stage. You’re getting a storyteller with a knack for bringing audiences in close, whether he’s talking about food, business, or the quirks of everyday life. His career has stretched from celebrated restaurants to TV screens to mentoring the next wave of talent, and he’s got the stories to prove it.

Event promoters love him because he does more than cook — he connects. People lean in when Simon’s in the room, not because they’ve seen him on MasterChef New Zealand or know his name from his award-winning Gault's Flavour Shots, but because he makes them feel like they’re part of something. He’s got a sharp sense of humour, he’s playful with his audience, and he knows how to keep a room buzzing.

For food festivals, FMCG launches, corporate events, or even an intimate dinner that needs a spark, Simon is a booking that guarantees attention. He’s worked alongside household brands, fronted nationwide campaigns, and still manages to make every interaction feel personal. That balance — big reach, but a down-to-earth Kiwi voice — is what keeps him in demand.

If you’re looking to lift an event, Simon brings the energy that gets people through the door and keeps them talking long after. That’s why Collaborate is proud to represent him. He’s not just a public figure. He’s a crowd-magnet, a conversation starter, and an entertainer who knows how to leave people smiling.
