Simple food cooked without pretence. Whether it’s for your cafe, a big occasion, a corporate event or something especially for you — our menus can be adjusted to suit a wide range of events and budgets. Get in touch and we’ll talk through the options.
WHOLESALE
With 11 years in the business of supplying and consulting the cafe trade, we know what we’re at! We know how much you care about the quality and consistency of every part of your business, and our services and products will meet that level of care.
For winter, we have an extensive range of freshly made soups delivered hot to your shop counter, produced that morning, and ready to serve. They are all made from the freshest of seasonal Vegetables, Gluten-free, Vegan (because we want everyone to enjoy the love), and Blended (because we know the consistency of serving is paramount so the first bowl is as good as the last).
For summer, our Sorbetto mix is available for your soft-serve machines. Made from blended fresh fruit, they contain no additives, emulsifiers, and thickeners. And what’s more, they’re all vegan, so they provide a delicious zingy treat that’s a change from the usual, and everyone can taste the summer.
For our consultancy, we offer a suite of advisory solutions to help you on your way to establishing your business or just freshening up your offering. We have assisted some of the greatest cafes in Dublin. From writing menus, product sourcing, and to supply chain management, we offer a bespoke service tailored to your requirements and facilities
PRIVATE CHEFFING
We draw on many years of working both on and off-site from our private clientele. From finger food to multi-coursed, fine-dining meals, we have extensive experience in catering for our clients needs.
“I wanted to plan a special dinner for my friends and I couldn't have been happier with Ivan and his culinary expertise! From the outset to execution, he listened to my thoughts and made the planning process a joy. Not only did Ivan devise a menu that suited all of us and took on board our different tastes, but his food was an absolute treat for the eyes and unbelievably delicious. We are still talking about that lobster risotto!! Thank you so much for an evening to remember and l look forward to planning the next!!”

“Louise and I just wanted to thank you for preparing, cooking, and serving the food on Saturday evening. From the canapés to the lamb, the food was quite simply delicious and was remarked on by most of our guests on the night and the next day.
All in all, a very professional service and you have set very high expectations for our guests in the future.”
— Richard and Louise (Bray)

“Ivan and The Dalkey Food Company came on board to work with us on a large Industry event held at our buildings this year. Despite the challenges of a small kitchen area and very tight timings, the guys provided exceptional service, following the brief exactly as requested, always smiling and the food was delicious.
I would have no hesitation in recommending The Dalkey Food Company and we would definitely work with them again.”
— Lisa Colgan (Events Manager, Ogilvy Dublin)
