Neil’s latest restaurant project, Margaret, in Sydney’s Double Bay, is his first solo venture. It is named after his mother who had an enormous influence on his hospitality career.

Neil also leads a team of consultants at Qantas overseeing the First and Business class menus and lounges. This year marks his 25th year in this role. He is also the author of eleven cookbooks and through his involvement with the Starlight Children’s Foundation and various other charities, Neil was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 2013 for “significant service to the community as a fundraiser and benefactor for numerous charities, as well as a chef and restaurateur”.
