Who Is Nick Holloway?
Nick had a humble journey to culinary stardom.

Inspired by renowned chef Geoff Lindsay’s captivating speech at a chef’s symposium, Nick’s passion for cooking ignited. He embarked on his apprenticeship at Stella, honing his skills and fuelling his creative fire.
His culinary journey took him to the esteemed Blake’s under the guidance of Andrew Blake, before reuniting with Geoff to co-create the acclaimed Pearl Restaurant in Richmond. Four transformative years at Pearl laid the foundation for Nick’s culinary prowess, and set the stage for his next adventure.
