About
Marcus Blackwell – Executive Chef & Proprietor
Growing up on the Isles of Scilly with a pristine natural environment at my doorstep, I regularly caught and prepped dinner for my family. This is where my love and passion of food started.
I owned and managed pubs and restaurants in the UK before moving to Coffs Harbour in 2002. I would walk along the breakwall and dream of a world class dining experience using the best local produce from the region with the philosophy of keeping it simple and letting the produce speak for itself….in 2011, Latitude 30 was born.
