Daniel

Born and raised in Liverpool, Daniel Heffy began his culinary career at the age of 16 while working aboard Royal Navy vessels as part of the Sea Cadets, before completing his formal culinary training and refining his skills under chef Paul Askew. He went on to help shape several of the city’s notable food ventures, including The Art School Restaurant, the Secret Diners Club supper series, and the popular Buyers Club, building a reputation for combining local produce with refined, modern techniques.

In 2017, Daniel moved to Stockholm to work at the acclaimed three-Michelin-starred Frantzén before joining Nordic restaurant Adam/Albin as Head Chef, where he helped the restaurant secure its Michelin star. Returning to Liverpool, he launched NORD in 2023 in partnership with GSG Hospitality, drawing on his UK and Scandinavian experience to create menus that celebrate Northern heritage, seasonal produce and regional suppliers.
