Career

Hayward is mainly known as a writer on food for British newspapers Financial Times and The Guardian. In 2009 he received the Guild of Food Writers award for new media - the second year that the award had been presented and the first time it had been given to an individual writer.[1][2] Hayward also writes for Waitrose Food Illustrated magazine, Delicious, BBC Olive magazine and Saveur in the US. He has appeared on Good Food channel's Market Kitchen and the BBC1 documentary series Ever Wondered About Food?. In 2011 Hayward received the Guild of Food Writers 'Food Broadcast of the Year Award' for his first full length radio piece,[3] the R4 Food Programme: Pop-up London presented with Sheila Dillon.

The Press Gazette Top 50 Food Journalists list 2011, places Hayward at number 4 behind Jay Rayner, A.A. Gill and Nigel Slater.[4]

Between 2000 and 2007, whilst still working in the advertising industry Hayward also wrote a popular column on the excesses of ad agencies in New Media Age.

In 2011 at the Guild of Food Writers Award ceremony held in the Fishmonger's Hall, Hayward emphatically denied that he was Marina O'Loughlin, the anonymous restaurant critic on whose behalf he accepted the award for Best Restaurant Critic.

In August 2011 Hayward and his wife re-opened the famous Cambridge bakery and restaurant Fitzbillies.[5][6]

In August 2011 Fig Tree an imprint of Penguin Books announced that they had signed Hayward after a "hotly contested auction" to write a cookery manual called Food DIY[7]

In May 2012 Hayward became the Guild of Food Writers 'Food Journalist of the Year' and Fire & Knives was awarded 'Best Food Magazine' [8]

Hayward was publisher and editor of Fire & Knives, a print quarterly of 'new food writing'. This was followed in January 2013 by the launch of a sister print quarterly, Gin & It, focussed upon drink. However, in July 2013 it was announced [9] that both magazines would be merged into a single, annual publication; and in November 2013 subscribers were informed that both publications had closed.
