Production catering keeps cast and crew fueled throughout demanding shooting days. In Ireland, on-set catering benefits from the country's outstanding natural produce — grass-fed beef and lamb, Atlantic seafood, artisan cheeses, and the hearty Irish culinary tradition — combined with Dublin's increasingly sophisticated contemporary food scene to keep crews well-nourished in all conditions.

We arrange production catering services scaled to your crew size and shooting schedule, sourcing experienced caterers across Dublin, Galway, and Cork. Our team coordinates hearty, warming menus essential for Ireland's famously changeable weather, with strong tea and coffee service that Irish and international crews alike appreciate on long outdoor shoot days.

On Location

Film catering across Dublin, Wicklow, Galway, and the Wild Atlantic Way — full HACCP/FSAI compliance, mobile kitchens for remote Skellig/Aran/Achill shoots, and bilingual menu service in Gaeltacht regions

Here is how this works in practice. Irish film catering has matured into a serious craft service alongside the country's broader food revolution. Cork's English Market, the artisan dairy and butter culture (Kerrygold, Dubliner cheese. Cashel Blue). The Atlantic seafood trade out of Castletownbere, Kinsale, and Galway Bay, the Wicklow lamb circuit, and the Belfast/Newry restaurant scene have all fed into a craft-tier film catering ecosystem. Our catering partners are HACCP-certified and registered with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) in the Republic. The Food Standards Agency Northern Ireland (FSANI) for NI shoots.

Here is the short of it. We run morning calls, hot lunches, second meals, and craft services at every scale. This includes from sixty-person commercials in Dublin to the 250+ crew bases that powered Vikings at Ashford Studios. Foundation at Troy Studios Limerick, and Game of Thrones at Titanic Studios Belfast. Menus rotate Irish staples (Irish stew, boxty, colcannon, soda bread, Atlantic-caught seafood, Wicklow lamb, Tipperary beef, Hereford prime, Cashel Blue cheese boards) alongside the dietary range any current production crew demands.

Here is the breakdown. Remote-location catering is where Ireland tests every catering provider's logistics. Our mobile kitchen units service the Cliffs of Moher cliff-top shoots, the Aran Islands (Inishmore, Inishmaan, Inisheer. This includes supplied by morning ferry from Rossaveal or Doolin). Skellig Michael (provisioned from Portmagee or Ballinskelligs Kerry by chartered boat). Achill Island (Banshees of Inisherin), Slieve League Donegal, the Connemara Twelve Bens, the Killarney National Park gap of Dunloe, and the Burren limestone karst.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Cross-border shoots into Northern Ireland — the Antrim Coast Giant's Causeway, Tollymore Forest, Castle Ward, Downhill Beach, the Mourne Mountains — get full scene matching of service with NI-supplier handoff. We bilingual-label menus in Gaeltacht regions (Conamara, Gaoth Dobhair Donegal, Corca Dhuibhne Kerry, the Aran Islands) per Foras na Gaeilge guidance, fit halal, kosher. Vegan. Vegetarian. Gluten-free, and severe-allergen protocols across every meal service, and price within the EUR 15-30 per head benchmark across Republic shoots (with GBP equivalents for NI productions). Production-friendly billing terms and Section 481 qualifying-expense records are built in.
