About me

 

 

Nick began his career cooking in several UK country house hotels before moving into the world of London’s Michelin starred restaurants. In 2008 he relocated to Paris for an 18-month tenure and then on to the Middle East where he has lived since 2010.

​

In 2011 he went into partnership with Scott Price launching their own Dubai-based F&B consultancy and has since opened multiple homegrown restaurants across the city. Their debut concept, table 9 by Nick & Scott opened the same year, with folly being the most recent addition to their portfolio.

​

For over a decade he has won multiple awards and accolades in the UAE and with the introduction of the Michelin guide in Dubai he was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand along with two hats from the newly launched Gault & Millau guide for his cooking.

Alvis recently partnered with Le Royal Merdien Hotel And Spa to launch his casual, chic neighbourhood bistro, called The Beam along with managing his consultancy (KMS) and continuing to push boundaries within the local culinary sphere, remaining committed to developing local talent and developing new, creative concepts to elevate Dubai’s position as one of the world’s best cities for gastronomy.
