Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Everything you need to know about our catering services to plan your event with confidence.

Logistics & Coverage
Where do you operate?
We operate all over the island of Ireland, north and south. We are based in Cork, so while we cater for events everywhere, there may be additional travel costs for locations further afield depending on the group size and menu. Just ask us for details!
Do you charge for travel costs?
We typically do not add a separate travel cost. We provide a full all-inclusive price for the event with any travel, delivery, or collection costs already factored in.
Do you offer delivery and collection services?
Yes, we offer both. For many events like BBQs and festivals, we deliver to the site. However, delivery slots can fill up quickly. We also offer a collection service from our kitchens if you prefer to pick up the food yourself.
How is the food delivered?
We have our own fleet of fully refrigerated delivery vans, and all our staff are fully HACCP trained. Hot food is delivered in insulated boxes, and our team sets up the catering for you on-site before your guests arrive.
Food, Menu & Dietary
Do you offer Halal, Vegan, Vegetarian or Gluten Free options?
Yes! We offer 3rd party certified Halal meals, as well as Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten-Free options. Unfortunately, we cannot offer Kosher options as there are no certifying rabbis currently based in Cork.
Can I customize my menu?
Yes. While we have a vast selection of menus online, we can customize them to your needs, provided the requirements are safe, compliant with food regulations, and economically viable.
What Food Stations do you offer?
We offer a variety of popular stations ideal for large events, including Gourmet Burger, Hot Dog, USA Style Chicken Wings, Burrito, and Baked Potato stations. We also do packed lunches for schools and sports events.
Do you offer grazing tables?
Yes, typically for 30, 50, or 100+ guests. Ideal for corporate events, communions, or parties. They include meats, cheeses, canapés, nuts, dips, and fruits—all bite-sized and ready to eat. Setup takes a few hours before guests arrive.
What about food safety and quality?
We take food safety extremely seriously. We are registered with the HSE, operate full HACCP plans, and our production kitchen holds AA Grade BRC certification—a standard of accreditation unmatched by most other event caterers in Ireland.
Services & Events
What type of events do you cater for?
As the country's largest and most experienced catering company, we cater for almost everything: birthdays, Christmas parties, communions, confirmations, funerals, sports events, corporate fun days, festivals, and our famous Spit Roast and Themed BBQs.
Do you do BBQs?
Yes! Alongside our sister company Spitting Pig BBQ (Cork), we operate the largest BBQ company in Ireland. We specialize in spit roasts, hog roasts, traditional BBQs, and themed menus like 4th of July for weddings, corporate events, and family parties.
Number of Guests / Capacity?
We can cater for everything from small local groups of 15+ guests (for finger foods/fork menus) up to large festival and corporate groups of 10,000 guests.
Does equipment come with the service?
Yes, we supply all equipment for serving the food, including compostable plates. However, we typically do not provide tables, chairs, or delph crockery for guests to sit and eat, unless specifically arranged for weddings or large events.
Booking & Payment
Is there a minimum order value?
Yes. While we deliver nationwide, travel costs must be viable. Please send us your menu, guest numbers, and location, or a budget you wish to work with, and we can advise further.
How does payment work?
For private bookings, payment is due in full no later than delivery. For company bookings, we require a PO at booking and payment within 30 days. We accept cash, cheque, or bank transfer.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking as far in advance as possible, especially for key dates like Christmas, Communions or Confirmations (which often book out a year in advance).
