Mixology champion · Founder of Nicos
Award-winning bartender, based in Fife.
"A good bar is the part of the night people remember. I've spent twelve years learning how to run one."
I started behind the bar at Sydney Opera Kitchen, on the harbour beside the Sydney Opera House, where I became bar manager and organised its New Year's Eve event. From there I ran the bar and restaurant at Ètè, a fine-dining restaurant in Sydney, writing its drinks menus.
In Scotland he managed the bars at The Adamson and The Seafood Ristorante, then ran events for the University of St Andrews for nearly four years.

Questions
Mobile bar hire questions
How much does it cost?
House Parties start from £505 and corporate masterclasses from £34 per person. The exact price depends on your guest numbers, hours and menu. You get it in writing after a 20-minute call, with nothing added later.
How far ahead should I book?
For drinks-included events, at least 6 weeks: each one needs an event licence from the council, and Nicolas applies for it. If your date is sooner, our Bar Only service can still work. Saturdays in summer and December go first.
What if the bar isn't ready on time?
Then the first hour is free. Every bar package comes with our on-time promise: if the bar isn't set up and serving at the time we agreed, the first hour of bar service is on us. Nicolas arrives early to make sure it never comes to that. He runs your bar himself, and for parties over 50 guests he brings a second bartender.
Are you licensed?
Yes. Nicolas holds a personal licence and arranges the occasional licence for every drinks-included event.
Can you create a cocktail just for us?
Yes, as an add-on. Nicolas creates a cocktail for your event and you give it its name, with its own card on the bar.
Do you serve alcohol-free drinks?
Yes. Every menu includes alcohol-free serves, so drivers and guests who don't drink have something good in their hand too.
What do you need from the venue?
A flat space for the bar and access to set up before guests arrive. We'll go through the details of your venue on the call.
