Jacinta was waiting on some delegates before giving her talk at Percy French Festival.
Any guesses what was the theme of her speech this year? 😂

We were delighted to have catered again for the Percy French Festival in the beautiful Castlecootehouse, Roscommon.
This is our 3rd year catering this festival. Great turn out again with delegates and guests.

First Holy Communion season and thankfully we have been very busy catering parties the last few weekends.
Well done to all the boys and girls who made their first communions and confirmations and to their parent for choosing Claire’s Kitchen for food.
We hope you enjoyed the special occasion.

As always, thanks JACINTA 😉 and all my crew.

Great turn out for the Pink Ribbon cycle on Saturday in Castlebar.
Jacinta and Helen made sure all got a hot meal after the long cycle. Well done to all participants.

We are delighted to be catering the Mayo Pink Ribbon Charity Cycle in Castlebar this weekend.
The annual cycle is Mayo Pick Ribbon’s main fundraising event for the National Breast Cancer Awareness Institute.

Well done and best of luck to all the cyclists tomorrow and we’ll see you on the other side with food 😉🚴‍♀️🎀

Claire’s Kitchen, Official Caterers for the President Biden Visit to Ballina

Hi All,

We are just catching our breath after what I could only describe as a hectic and surreal week.
We were delighted and honoured to be chosen as exclusive food caterer for the U.S President Biden visit to Ballina.
For security and operational reasons, the president’s itinerary was not widely publicised so we had to work fast behind the scenes in a short period of time to ensure we were prepared.
We were tasked with providing food service all day to the very large presidential entourage at the designated media centre, and Mary Robinson Centre.
The atmosphere was electric and thankfully everything went off without a hitch.

It was a wonderful experience and opportunity to be selected to cater to such a high profile internationally publicised event.
The cherry on top was additional separate catering’s for stage rigging crews working in the town on the run up to and following the visit. I can honestly say, nobody left Ballina hungry 😋. It was lovely to hear positive feedback tor the food and service.
To say we were busy was an understatement.
The Presidential visit has been great for our town overall bringing a welcome boost to local community as a whole and our business directly. Ballina was cast onto the world’s stage and will be fondly remembered in history for the welcome it extended to a sitting United States President and Claire’s Kitchen was part of it.

Of course I couldn’t have done it without my dedicated hard working staff with help from family members who stepped up to the plate and all pitched in. It was all hands on deck for sure. Their efficient can do attitude and teamwork carried us through, so well done and sincere thank you.

This one will be hard to top !

Claire.

👏🟢🔴🇮🇪🇺🇸

Tasty gourmet wraps and finger food ready to go. Your guests will be coming back for seconds 😋
