Career

Anderson attained his first head-chef role in 1987, at Antony Griffith Harris's The Canal Brasserie in London.[1]
In 1991, he left The Canal and opened Nick's Bistro @ Rococo, in King's Lynn, Norfolk, within a 17th-century building.[2][3][4] In 2001, Anderson closed the restaurant and moved Rococo from King's Lynn to The Crown in Wells-next-the-Sea. It opened in June 2001.[5] In 2004, he and his financial backers parted ways, forcing Anderson to leave the hotel. He spent almost a year on unemployment, and became bankrupt.[6]
In 2005, Anderson returned to King's Lynn and reopened Rococo. His sous-chef was Tim Sanford.[6] The restaurant closed in 2007.
Anderson worked at The Bell, in Hampton Poyle, Oxfordshire, for seven years.[citation needed]
In 2017, Anderson was reunited with Antony Griffith Harris when he became head chef at The Boxing Hare (formerly the Masons Arms) in Chipping Norton, West Oxfordshire.[1][7]
Television appearances
Anderson and his restaurant, Nick's Bistro @ Rococo, was featured in a Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares episode that aired in November 2006. It was renamed to Maggie's during the show.[6]
Awards
He has won three AA rosettes and two Michelin stars.[7]
