Parallel by Pasture is all about energy, creativity, and precision, a vibrant, open-kitchen restaurant serving bold, seasonal small plates directly to guests at the bar. Every dish is ingredient-led, and every detail matters. This is a place where food, people, and service all carry equal weight.

We’re now looking for a Head Chef to take full ownership of the kitchen, someone who lives for food, leads with purpose, and builds high-performing teams that love what they do. This is more than just managing the pass. You’ll be shaping the culture, setting the standards, and driving service from the heart of the room.

What you’ll be doing

As Head Chef, you’ll be responsible for every aspect of the kitchen, leading from the front, developing your team, and delivering consistent quality, service, and systems. You’ll create an environment where standards are high, people are supported, and everything runs with clarity and confidence.

You’ll also be a key part of the guest experience, working from an open kitchen and connecting with diners throughout service.

You’ll

• Lead, train, and develop a focused, motivated kitchen team

• Create a strong, inclusive culture where people grow and take pride in their work

• Manage all kitchen systems: prep, ordering, GP, stock, rotas, and compliance

• Maintain full food safety and cleanliness standards, always five-star EHO ready

• Run clear, calm, high-energy services with consistency and control

• Interact confidently with guests at the kitchen bar and lead hospitality from the pass

• Work closely with the front-of-house team to deliver a smooth, unified guest experience

• Set the creative and professional tone for everything that happens in the kitchen
