BIOGRAPHY
Nigel writes and presents on food and especially drink. He also narrates power boat racing for Channel 4 and occasionally acts as rugby correspondent for BBC London. His passion for all kinds of booze has even taken him to the Edinburgh Fringe in a theatrical mission to make sherry trendy.
After starting out as a wine merchant in Yorkshire, Nigel changed tack and went off to drama school. He still accepts the odd acting job, like playing an investigative hack on The Bill. He has also presented The Really Useful Show, Eat Drink & Be Healthy and Butch Cooks, and he reached the final of the BBC New Comedy Awards.
Nigel's food and drink expertise is regularly sought on You & Yours and the Nicky Campbell Show, and by readers of the Daily Telegraph, Observer and Independent. He retraced the footsteps of whisky smugglers' in Speyside for one newspaper and enjoyed himself so much that he returned with a film crew.
As well as hosting events like the Havana Club Cocktail Championships, Nigel offers a spirited alternative to wine tastings for corporate gatherings. Using gin, vodka, rum or whisky, he shows how to make the perfect Mojito, Martini or Cosmopolitan.
