New Executive Chef For Titanic Hotel Belfast

Chef Alastair Fullerton has been appointed as the new Executive Chef for Titanic Hotel Belfast including its restaurant The Wolff Grill, putting his unique stamp on the award-winning restaurant’s menu and all menus across the hotel.

Part of The Harcourt Collection, the multi-award winning Titanic Hotel Belfast is the transformation of the historic former headquarters of shipbuilders Harland & Wolff, who designed the Titanic and its sister ships Britannic and Olymic for the White Star Line, into Belfast’s most prestigious heritage themed hotel. 

It provides 119 luxury bedrooms, including suites and family rooms, complete with the Harland cocktail bar, The Wolff Grill restaurant and seven spectacular heritage rooms/spaces for celebrations, events, functions, private dining and meetings.

The Wolff Grill restaurant offers views towards the iconic Titanic Belfast building and historic slipways. The highly popular dining venue has recently increased capacity from 60 to 100 covers and includes an exclusive private dining space for parties and intimate gatherings.

Alastair Fullerton has been in working in hotel and restaurant kitchens since 1982, educated at Belfast Met, spending his early career under the guidance of Paul Rankin in Roscoff, then working in London before returning to Belfast and managed kitchens in Galgorm Manor and Ten Square and then worked with Fitzers Catering at Titanic Belfast and at The Curragh.

Alastair has developed a new menu for The Wolff Grill, offering sophisticated yet casual dining. The new Wolff Grill menu celebrates the very best of local and international ingredients.

Blending sophistication with high quality local produce, dishes centre around new starters of burrata with spring vegetables and a duck spring roll with pineapple salsa, a duck leg main and expertly butchered meats from the grill, including the signature chateaubriand, fresh seafood sourced from local suppliers across Northern Ireland including a seafood linguine and a seared fillet of sea bass, and seasonal vegetables selected for flavour and freshness, alongside tempting desserts.

Speaking about his appointment and the inspiration for the new menu, Executive Chef Alastair Fullerton said: “I am delighted to be heading up the kitchen at the The Wolff Grillrestaurant. My focus is on local produce, seeking out quality ingredients to bring the dishes to life. I have spent 40 years in kitchens in Belfast, Dublin and London and I am looking forward to serving up some of the finest food to our diners in a setting which exudes a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere.”

“I love that our menu has evolved with diners taste buds and my vision is to make The Wolff Grill a real destination restaurant and extension of Belfast’s thriving hospitality scene, with diners coming in and enjoy a high-end food experience without formality.”

Adrian McNally, General Manager of Titanic Hotel Belfast, said: “Titanic Hotel Belfast is renowned for being awarded the title of Northern Ireland’s Leading Hotel every year since we opened. Our restaurant, The Wolff Grill, embarked on a journey of offering an exceptional dining experience and has also won numerous awards over the years. 

“We would like to welcome Alastair to our team as he brings a wealth of experience to Titanic Hotel Belfast, having spent four decades in busy hotel and restaurant kitchens.

“On working with Alastair to create his new menu, I have witnessed his passion and love for food. We have considered the new era in which foodies chart their way through a menu and enjoy being inspired by a bounty of flavours and choices from nibbles to extravagant mains.”

“We believe that with this new and exciting menu we have created a culinary experience to satisfy the taste buds of those with an hour to spare at lunchtime, taking the children out for an early evening tea, nipping in before taking in Belfast’s night life or a show in the nearby SSE Arena and those who wish to relax by spending the evening with a sharing steak over three exuberant courses.”
