Jazz at Vivat Bacchus and Titanic menu at Galgorm Resort

The hospitality industry may be about providing food, drink, accommodation and service, but sometimes you have to go the extra mile to pull customers in. If you’re stuck for ideas on how to make your business more appealing take a look at what others are doing for inspiration.​

Titanic menu​
​
​The Galgorm Resort & Spa near Belfast has created a menu based on the one served to first class passengers on the Titanic to coincide with the purchase of a table originally commissioned for the doomed ship. Guests dining in the Titanic Suite can eat from a five-course £75 menu, which includes Roast Squab, Consomme Olga, Saute of Chicken and Plum Pudding while sitting around the restored table which was never completed in time for the Titanic's voyage.
