Commis Chef

Location: The 3 Acres, Huddersfield
Salary: Competitive + Excellent Tips
Hours: Full-time

The Three Acres has been a Yorkshire institution since 1968 — a family-run inn, restaurant and hotel that has been in the Truelove family for over 50 years. In 2025 we reopened after a full rebuild with a completely reimagined kitchen, our new Oyster Bar, and a Josper charcoal grill at its heart — and the same year we were named The Yorkshire Post’s Hospitality Business of the Year and awarded an AA Rosette for Culinary Excellence alongside AA Five Silver Stars.

We’re now looking for a Commis Chef to join a genuinely ambitious kitchen, one of the best in Yorkshire, and we think further afield too. This is a real opportunity to learn your trade properly, from fresh, honest ingredients through to Rosette-standard execution, working alongside chefs who care about getting every detail right in one of the finest kitchen spaces in Yorkshire.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Assisting across sections with food preparation and cooking to a genuinely high standard
  • Learning hands-on from senior chefs, including time on our new Josper grill and Oyster Bar
  • Maintaining the highest standards of hygiene, cleanliness and food safety
  • Supporting the wider brigade to keep service running smoothly
  • Helping with stock management, ordering and kitchen organisation

What We’re Looking For:

  • Some kitchen experience is useful, but attitude and appetite to learn matter more
  • A genuine passion for fresh, seasonal food and a desire to develop as a chef
  • Ability to stay calm and focused under pressure, as part of a close-knit team
  • Reliability, strong work ethic and real attention to detail
  • Flexibility to work evenings and weekends

What You’ll Get:

  • Structured, hands-on training in a Rosette-standard, multi-AA-award-winning kitchen
  • A genuine career path — many of our senior chefs started at commis level
  • Company pension
  • 50% discount on food
  • 10% discount at BigBox Gym, Huddersfield
  • The chance to learn from a head chef and brigade genuinely pushing what a Yorkshire kitchen can be

This is a real opportunity to start — or accelerate — your career in a professional kitchen with outstanding earning potential, excellent tips, and a team that will invest in you.
