Falmouth born and bred, Nick started cooking when he was fifteen years old, then trained under chef legends Keith Floyd and Jean Christophe Novelli. Nick was always keen to work, travel and experience different cultures and cuisines, so he headed off to Australia, Asia, and Africa. Still in his early 20s, he returned to open his first restaurant in Falmouth, quickly becoming a local’s favourite and soon awarded an entry into the Michelin guide. Following on, he headed the kitchens at The Headland Hotel, The Rosevine and Watergate Bay.
Returning to the south coast, in 2018, Nick became Executive Chef of sister hotels The Greenbank, The Alverton, and The Penventon, and most recently the newly acquired Falmouth Hotel – with the group now sitting proudly under the banner of the Cornwall Hotel Collection.
