Nikki and Nigel make a great team: his showmanship and front-of-house skills married with her friendly customer service and rigorous attention to details mean that they can make your visit truly memorable. And if you’re very lucky, they’ll even tell you how they met – but that’s a story for another time and place. My background has been in hospitality and catering for many years, working with and trained by numerous famous chefs. My proudest moment was serving The Queen mother & Prince Charles at Windsor Castle. I ran The Thames hotel in Maidenhead, a popular watering hole with many TV stars. I moved to the island back in the Mid 80s re opening the Ramsey Beach Hotel, I then went on to run the Grand Island Hotel also in Ramsey for 10 years. This is where I made a lifelong friendship with Sir Norman Windsor. It was also a busy time at the hotel in the 90s as serveral films with made here. The Grand Island became the main hotel for the stars and crews. My claim to fame is that I kissed Catherine Zeta Jones long before Michael Douglas. I will certainly keep you entertained with some amazing stories as we tour along this magnificent island.
