Saint Peter

What Saint Peter does

Saint Peter is an Australian fine-dining seafood restaurant and integrated hospitality business founded by chef Josh Niland and operating from the heritage Grand National Hotel building at 161 Underwood St, Paddington, NSW, 2021. The core offering is a ten-course tasting menu dinner at $395 per person and a three-course lunch at $195 per person, built around a whole-fish butchery and sustainable sourcing approach using ingredients from a curated network of Australian fishermen and growers. The company is operationally structured around six revenue streams: main dining room, Saint Peter Bar (walk-in cocktails and à la carte), The Grand National Hotel with five room categories ranging from 20m² Queen Studios to a 45m² Luxury Terrace Suite, private events and function hire for up to 75 guests, gift vouchers, and the Josh Niland cookbook 'Chapter & Verse' bundled with a masterclass.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer, hospitality-led model with reservations released six months in advance via OpenTable, direct hotel bookings via Book Direct Online, and a Dine & Stay package that bundles restaurant and accommodation experiences. Distribution is primarily domestic (NSW, Australia) with single-venue concentration and experiential recognition driven by limited-time collaborations with international chefs (Pascal Barbot, Joan Roca). The customer base spans fine-dining enthusiasts, hotel guests, bar patrons, and private/corporate event clients. The company is privately held, founder-owned, with approximately 57 employees and no disclosed institutional investment, acquisitions, or geographic expansion.
