Legendary bar guru Chris Edwardes started working as a cocktail bartender at the tender age of 17 in 1975 after lying about his age. Learning his trade at Maxwells in Covent Garden where he had to learn how to create their 250 strong cocktail list pretty quick, he refined his skills around the UK before returning to London in 1991 to open The Jazz Café. Two and a half years spent as Head Barman at the infamous celebrity haunt Groucho Club cemented his reputation in the industry and it was no surprise when he was head hunted by Oliver Peyton to open the Atlantic Bar & Grill with Dick Bradsell. After setting up and running the bar at Damien Hirst’s iconic Pharmacy and then the GE Club at Conran’s Great Eastern Hotel, Chris moved to Brighton with his wife Amanda to set up the much respected Blanch House, a boutique hotel nominated for Best Hotel Bar in the country 5 times and twice for Best Bar. For three years running this husband and wife dream team were included in the 100 Most Influential People In The Bar Industry in Theme Magazine, winning their Outstanding Achievement Award along the way. In 2010 they moved to Ibiza to set up the best cocktail bar on the island in renowned restaurant/lounge venue Aura before stumbling on their dream bar in the picturesque north of the island, Hidden. The bar and restauarnt is a magical, unique and heavenly oasis of calm complete with a crazy golf course with holes sponsored by the likes of Fatboy Slim and street artist Inkie. Chris alternates this with flying around the world to advise bars and spirit brands on their cocktail offerings, judging International cocktail competitions and running the bars at exclusive parties.
