Opportunities for Irish food and drink suppliers

One major growth area is in the catering business, particularly in sports and
nutrition and event catering.
The restaurants are looking to increase their breakfast, brunch and
afternoon snack offerings.
The evening menu is also popular, running Wednesday - Sunday nights in
Santry from 5pm and Thursday – Sunday from 5pm in Swords, Salthill, and
Dun Laoghaire.

The Company is always looking for ideas for large scale event catering i.e.
canapes and fresh hot food ideas for large groups of 150+ guests in the
form of both ingredients and ready to bake products.
All products are sourced from Irish suppliers except for country specific
products e.g. Italian dried products and oils.
