Looking for Caterers for a large event - any suggestions?

rgiller

Hi all,

I'm hoping to organise a week's worth of lunches for the Junior World Championships in Ultimate Frisbee that will be on in Dublin in August. We're expecting ~ 1000 people to attend, aged 17-20. The venue will be providing breakfast and dinner every day but we're looking to do something different for lunches.

The hope would be to get caterers or food vendors in to set up stalls, sell their own produce for the week and to look after their own money on site. We're ideally looking for healthy food - pasta, sandwiches, salads, etc but some less healthy options could be considered too.

Has anyone here got experience with this kind of thing - either organising or catering? Does anyone have any suggestions where to start looking for suitable vendors/companies?

Thanks,

Rob

Hey Rob,

Sounds great, I only found out there was such a thing as ultimate frisbee a few months ago What date in August is it?

Re: Catering. Not sure if this is any help but the only catering people I've ever dealt with are withtaste when I was living in Dublin last year. As far as I know they'd come out to most places in the Dublin area. Where were will this be on?

They were great to be honest and couldn't fault them - was lucky to get them to be honest, they are fairly popular.

Why don't you talk to some of the vendors who work the Temple Bar food market on Saturdays and the market on the Canal on Fridays.
