We welcome Nick Gibson to The Premier Cru!

Nick is the Founder of ⁠The Drapers Arms⁠, a pub based in the heart of Islington. They have a ridiculously good (and good value!) wine list showcasing 300+ bottles, many of which have some real bottle age.

Nick set up The Drapers Arms in 2009, following a career in finance, and believes that treating staff well is the cornerstone of a good business, with fantastic food and a great wines the rest should take care of itself.

The Drapers Arms also have a strong social impact supporting charities such as The Trussell Trust, Refuge and Action Against Hunger.
