Meet The Chef
Stephen, a Tyrone man, started working in kitchens from the young age of thirteen, inspired by his mother Patricia and great aunt Kathleen's love for cooking.
At Dunluce Lodge we take great pride in celebrating the rich bounty of Northern Ireland’s local farms, fields and waters. Chef Stephen’s philosophy revolves around seasonable and sustainable farming practices. This approach not only benefits the quality of each product but also enhances the flavour. Food brings people together on many different levels. It's the nourishment of the soul and body; it's truly love
Our menus evolve with the changing seasons, allowing us to showcase the freshest and most flavourful ingredients available throughout the year. We are committed to supporting local producers and artisans who share our passion for quality and sustainability.
