Kitchen & Larder
Description
Catering for events in private houses and venues. Specialists in menu planning and local ingredients. From dainty canapes all the way to midnight feasts and everything in between. We cater for family parties in your home for 20 guests and lavish events for 200 guests in a marquee or outside venue.
Choose from the menu or create something all your own. We love to be creative in the kitchen and are determined that catered food doesn't have to be boring and mass produced.
We can provide expert advice & guidance on menu planning and service styles to delight your guests.
We are fanatical about using as many local ingredients and suppliers as possible so your menu will have a sense of place as well as taste. Some ingredients are even homegrown in our polytunel and raised beds!
Our Service
The difference between a good meal and a great occasion is the quality of service. As well as being utterly charming and beautifully turned out our trusted group of waiting staff and chefs are unflappable and able to adapt to any situation.
We know how much time and effort on your part goes into organising an event for 20 or 200 guests. We are on hand to take as much responsibility as you would like. Organising hire of equipment, booking a musician, sourcing drinks and bartenders to serve them, setting up and decorating your party space the day before. We are here to help!
We cook and grow at home in Newcastle Co. Wicklow. We have a fully HSE certified production kitchen in a converted barn and a kitchen garden outside.

I do occasionally leave the kitchen garden these days to do things like this... Dark & white chocolate terrine with amaretto biscuits, whipped cream & strawberries & geraniums...

Had to root out this old cookbook to find decent pickling instructions for all these cucumbers from the tunnel. We've easily had 10x that many already and there's only so much salad a person can eat! In other news, I really have to up my kitchen hairstyle game. The bar has been raised 👀

So I assaulted the kale plants. Kale cannelloni experiment is now underway. If it's nice I *could* call it Kale-elloni... That would be hilarious and very clever wouldn't it? Wouldn't it?? No? (I'll get my coat)

*cheesy infomercial voice* Did you know?? Since the very beginning we have only ever used free range Irish chicken in our kitchen. The even better news is that we have now also been using this delicious Irish organic chicken from Wexford since January this year. Free range, organic and Irish all the way. We are very happy and proud about it! - There's not really a subtle way to slip that information into another post so we are giving it a whole obnoxious post to itself :)) *end of infomercial*

Two flavours of jelly made with the juice I always save whenever I'm cooking fruit. Rhubarb & Strawberry and Rhubarb & Elderflower jellies, courgette cake, chocolate terrine, vanilla cream, custard, strawberries. Kiddy dessert heaven... for adults! (ps. Gabriele Neurohr would you look at ALL that jelly you missed!! I made sure to enjoy it twice as much to make up for you not getting any!)

First tomato 'harvest' of 2016 from the tunnel a few days ago! Made our spag bol and spinach supper an extra special treat. It's our first year growing these early varieties (Latah and Ida Gold from Brown Envelope Seeds). Soon there'll be so many we won't know what to do with ourselves but this crop of 4 was so welcome we had to lavish it with the 'Firstborn' treatment and tell EVERYONE about it :))
