Speakers

Chef & Partner at Allta
Niall Davidson
From a farming family, born in Scotland and brought up in Derry, Niall Davidson moved from London to Dublin specifically to open allta, he’s held roles in the likes of Chiltern Firehouse and St. John Bread and Wine before opening up his own venture, Nuala, in London. Niall is joined in allta by Hugh Higgins, formerly of Luna on Drury Street and Kevin Burke, formerly of Michelin-starred the ninth in London. As the COVID-19 Pandemic spread across the world, Niall and the team were forced to temporarily close their doors but they quickly leveraged the trust they had built up in the allta brand to introduce the alltaBOX, a dine at home meal kit available nationwide which has been one of the most sought after food experiences to emerge these past few months. Selling out in minutes every week, the alltaBOX brings the charm and quality of allta direct to customers’ homes nationwide.
