Experience
James is a food and drink writer, published author, and former magazine editor with a background in language and literature. After studies in the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik, he started writing for travel and lifestyle publications, soon developing a specialism for drinks and dining, before climbing the ranks to become Deputy Editor. His interest in spirits and mixology began after discovering his great-grandfather, Stanley, had once mixed cocktails for his wealthy employer while working as a servant in the leafy London suburb of Bromley. James has published two books (Isle of Wight’s Missing Chapter and Historic Isle of Wight Food).
