Ready to take your multi:site culinary experience to the next level?

Im recruiting a Group Executive Chef for a leading independent contract caterer, looking for an exceptional chef to influence food, people and standards across a growing national portfolio.

You dont necessarily need to already have the Group Executive Chef title, but you must have multi:site experience and be confident supporting chefs and operations across different locations.

Salary and Benefits

  • A GBP 65,000:A GBP 70,000 salary
  • Business mileage and travel expenses paid
  • UK:wide travel fully supported
  • Company pension
  • Generous holiday allowance
  • Training and senior leadership development
  • Genuine long:term career progression

The Opportunity

  • Work across a national portfolio of premium B and I contracts.
  • Support multiple sites, Executive Chefs and kitchen teams.
  • Lead new openings and mobilisations.
  • Develop menus, concepts and new food ideas.
  • Deliver tastings and client presentations.
  • Mentor and develop senior chefs.
  • Help shape culinary standards across the business.

About You

  • Multi:site culinary experience is essential.
  • Strong restaurant or hotel foundation, ideally high:end or fine dining.
  • Established B and I or premium contract catering experience.
  • Executive Chef, Regional Chef, Development Chef or similar background.
  • Proven experience running significant kitchen operations and leading teams.
  • Strong across workplace dining and high:end hospitality.
  • Commercially aware with a genuine passion for food.

Personality is really important for this one.

Were looking for someone warm, engaging, energetic and down to earth . Someone who can walk into another Head Chefs kitchen and make them feel supported rather than inspected.

Youll be just as comfortable cooking alongside a CDP as mentoring an Executive Chef or presenting to a board:level client . Youll be curious about food, eat out, follow whats happening in restaurants and bring that energy and inspiration back into the business.

This is a brilliant next step for someone with multi:site experience who wants more influence, national exposure and a genuine route into future senior culinary leadership.
