Job Title: Executive Chef – Parish | Arcade Coffee | Amped
Location: Huddersfield / wider Yorkshire
Employment type: Full time, salaried
About Us
We are a growing hospitality group built around three very different but complementary venues:
* Parish – an established kitchen with a loyal following and great reviews, known for hearty food and big nights.
* Arcade Coffee & Food – a café/restaurant with a buzzing community feel, strong reputation and potential for major expansion.
* Amped – our newest venue, a fresh project near the University of Huddersfield where the food offer is starting completely from scratch.
We are an expanding group of venues, We're ambitious — aiming to build a larger group of food-led venues across Yorkshire, with scope for external catering, pop-ups, and creative food projects along the way.
The Role
This is a fantastic opportunity for the right person. We're not looking for someone who's already done it all — we want someone ambitious, creative, and organised who wants to grow into an Executive Chef role while leading food operations across multiple sites.
You'll:
* Lead kitchens at Parish & Arcade – maintaining high standards, refining menus, and keeping our great reputations intact.
* Develop Amped's food offer from scratch – concept, menus, kitchen setup, and long-term vision.
* Support expansion – play a key role in shaping future sites and external projects.
* Be part of the exec team – your voice matters; you'll help guide the direction of our food across the group.
* Build your career – this role is designed for growth. As we expand, so does your responsibility, influence, and reward.
What We're Looking For
* A strong Head Chef or Senior Sous who's ready to take the next step.
* Creative flair – fresh ideas, seasonal dishes, and an eye for trends.
* Operational discipline – cost control, supplier relationships, consistency.
* Leadership potential – able to inspire and organise teams, but willing to learn and grow.
* Ambition – someone excited to help build a group, not just run a kitchen.
* Flexibility – comfortable splitting time across multiple venues and projects.
What You'll Get:
* The chance to step up into an Executive Chef title and grow as we grow.
* Competitive salary (with performance incentives as the role develops).
* Full creative input across three very different kitchens.
* A seat at the table — input into wider business strategy.
* Opportunities to branch into new projects (pop-ups, events, catering, collaborations).
* Support and mentoring from our existing exec team as you develop into the role.
