What I Do

My name is Nigel and I am the Head Chef here at Eastcote Park. As Head Chef, I take pride in delivering an exceptional dining experience that reflects the high standards and luxury lifestyle at Eastcote Park. Every menu is thoughtfully crafted using fresh, seasonal ingredients to create beautifully presented, nutritionally balanced dishes that delight the senses. I lead a talented kitchen team, combining creativity with care to ensure every meal is tailored to our residents’ individual tastes and dietary needs. From elegant fine dining to comforting favourites, my goal is to make mealtimes a true highlight of life in our home.

My Experience

I qualified as a chef in 1990 at Solihull college. Having worked in a number of hotels and restaurants I became Head Chef at Eastcote Park 4 years ago. In that time I am very proud of what I have achieved including recognition in the following prestigious Catering Awards:
• 2022 Finalist of National Association of Care Catering Awards
• 2023 Runner-up of National Association of Care Catering Awards
• 2024 Runner-up and Highly Commended Main Course of National Association of Care Catering Awards
• 2025 Finalists in The Great British Care Awards Midlands region
• 2025 Finalists in National Association of Care Catering Awards

About Me

I have spent the last 35 years in hotel and restaurants. Food plays such an important part of our day to day living not just nutritionally but psychologically too, which is why it is so important to deliver consistently good food.
