Two chefs in whites plating a row of rack-of-lamb plates finished with red-wine jus at a kitchen table.

For over twenty years, guests across Connemara and County Galway have sat down to a proper dinner without lifting a finger. I bring the kitchen to you, in the comfort of wherever you're staying.

Every menu is cooked fresh, agreed with you beforehand, and cleared away after. All you do is enjoy the evening.

However you'd like to be looked after.

Three ways to do it. Menus by request.

Rows of plated herb-crusted rack of lamb standing on dauphinoise potato with broccolini, carrots and a red-wine jus, laid out for service on a marble table.

The Dinner Menu

Three courses in your own home, cooked and presented by Dóirín with two waiting staff. Floral arrangements, candles, and white linen napkins. Full clean-up after.

from €70 per person. Min 6.

What's included
A buffet mid-service — plates of prawn vol-au-vents on dressed salad and slices of pâté with chutney laid out across a marble island, chefs working behind.

The Buffet Menu

For groups of 15 or more. Food served from the kitchen, diners seated or casual. Plate removal and dessert distribution by the team. Full clean-up except glassware.

A few words from recent occasions.

★★★★★
Dóirín catered our daughter's First Communion for around thirty guests, and the food and service were exceptional. The Beef Bourguignon and Chicken Curry were both delicious, and the celeriac and apple salad was a standout. Everything was fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully prepared. We would highly recommend her, and will certainly get her again.

I want to say a huge thank-you for the fabulous feast you prepared. The weekend was an enormous success and everyone had a ball. You are a very talented lady, and if ever we can recommend you it would be an absolute pleasure.

★★★★★
Just to say thank you for the wonderful food you prepared and delivered so professionally at the party. It was a tremendous success. You and your team were so lovely, and we most certainly will do another event.
