We started as a two person operation mostly catering for our friends and families. These events were mainly birthday parties, engagement parties, christenings and other smaller occasions. It wasn’t long before we began to take on bigger jobs, and hired more staff. After several months, we were catering for events such as weddings, funerals and even formal corporate functions. Today, we’re an experienced team of 12 people, including gourmet chefs, professional waiting staff, and even a mixologist.
One of the biggest challenges is calculating the right amount of food and drink for an event. Food waste can be a problem in the catering industry so it’s crucial that caterers prepare properly to ensure everyone is fed while also minimising waste. This is normally easier to do for sit-down meals with structured courses, but can be a little trickier with party style food such as with buffets and canapés. However, with experience and the right preparation, you can achieve both full bellies and virtually empty bins. Especially if the food is delicious like ours always is!
For us, most of the hard work is done before the day of the event. From ordering only the best quality produce to ensuring all equipment is spotlessly clean, we put the hours in early. As the old adage goes, ‘if you fail to prepare, prepare to fail’. This includes ensuring that any guests with special dietary requirements are prepared for, all staff members are aware of the time schedule, and all food that can be prepared before the event is ready to go. Once that’s all taken care of, we can focus on providing delicious food and a professional service with a smile throughout the duration of the event.

The Gourmet Grocer recently catered my mums 80th birthday. From start to finish they were a pleasure to deal with. Food was lovely and adjusted to ensure all was gluten free, with generous portions. The birthday cake was made by Clara, a gluten free lemon and coconut sponge. It was the absolutely delicious and you would not know it was gf. We will definitely order with The Gourmet Grocer again.

Clara's food is exceptional and of the highest quality. Every time I'm in her beautiful shop, there's such a variety of food to choose from. Service is so friendly and the coffee...top class. Whether it's a main course, meat & cheese board, scrumptious desserts or a huge selection of wines, The Gourmet Grocer is a 'must visit ' destination for all foodies. And, of course, Clara's home catering is a "not to be missed" 5☆ experience. Carmel O'Keeffe
