Nick is the Director and Head Chef of The Patricia, the restaurant he founded in 2016 having worked at the Michelin starred River Café in London before that.

Nick talks us through how he became a chef, running his first pub and subsequent experience at top restaurants in London.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story for a number of reasons, but ultimately because it is one driven by Nick’s urge to start his own venture, his willingness to take risk when he was lacking the finances and his desire to follow his passion. Finally, it is a great story because it was enabled by his grandmother, Patricia, who he named the restaurant after.

Nick and his team have had to evolve to thrive during the COVID pandemic, a testament to the team and Nick’s ability as an entrepreneur.
