Chef Rob starts a Slemish Market Supper Club with visits to local suppliers, farms, market gardens. He also forages in the wild to get the best responsible produce to create his dining experience. Will you be at the next one?
Sandwiches, cold salads, and chicken vol-au-vent. Nope, not with Chef Rob. Instead opt for a multi-course dining experience with native local ingredients and exciting flavours and stories.
A few pints after work and a quick visit to the chippy? That's not bad and works for us, but what about something special for a change? Get Chef Rob in for some fun and flavoursome team eating.
If you produce food locally in County Antrim or across the island and you would like to work with Chef Rob to showcase your produce or create a menu using it then get in touch. Let's support local.
In the last 2 years I have collaborated with renowned chefs from across Ireland, France, Spain, and Hong Kong. I have competed in tapas and paella championships in Spain, competitive barbeque in France, and numerous collabs in Ireland.
Eel from Lough Neagh, seaweed from Rathlin Island, seabuckthorn from Incredible Edibles, beef from Glenarm, turnips from Slemish Market Garden, fish from Lir's Larder, gorse from the hill behind my house, and so much more.
A protege of the famous Chef Derry Clarke, and a Dublin boy originally, Chef Rob was abducted and taken to Ballymena by his beautiful wife Fiona. He has fallen in love with Antrim, the food, the people, and eventually Fiona.
Chef Rob Curley is on a mission to make fine dining native, obtainable, and fun. Each event is a multi course extravaganza featuring wacky and wild local seasonal produce from seabuckthorn to gorse flowers.
