The brand new private dining space accommodates up to 12 people and has been carefully designed with luxurious materials, layered textures and an atmospheric lighting scheme to create an intentionally moody yet inviting space \u2013 an intimate backdrop for bold flavours and fine conversation.<\/p>\n

Jake McHugh, General Manager of the Grand Central Hotel said: \u201cWe are delighted to unveil\u00a0The Cavern<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 a secluded and exquisitely designed private dining venue that is set to redefine the art of intimate hospitality in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

This stunning space offers an unforgettable 5-star dining experience for small parties with thoughtfully curated, bespoke menus, top end fine wines and exceptional service. It promises to deliver a heightened sense of occasion – whether hosting an exclusive celebration, a business dinner, or an intimate private gathering – ensuring a truly memorable experience for guests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Damian Tumilty, Executive Head Chef of the Grand Central Hotel added: \u201cThe statistics constantly tell us how important food is in influencing a visitor\u2019s choice of destination.\u00a0The Cavern<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is going to bring private dining in Belfast to unparalleled heights. This\u00a0 exclusive, high-end experience is unlike anything we have offered before. Working alongside our guests, I will curate their \u00a0very own bespoke seven-course menu using the finest local produce such as Kingsbury Wagyu Beef, Carlingford Oysters, Turbot Caviar and Ballycastle Lobsters. It will allow my pastry team to showcase some menu items rarely seen in Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

As a chef,\u00a0The Cavern<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0represents a very unique and exciting offering. It\u2019s a decadent space for guests to dine in privacy and I\u2019m looking forward to people enjoying what promises to be an exceptional dining experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
