Catering in Dublin
Book catering in Dublin the simple way: pick a package, see the full total upfront, and confirm instantly. No back-and-forth, no waiting on a price. Caterers come to your space and serve the event, from a team lunch in the IFSC or the Docklands to a milestone birthday in Ranelagh or Rathmines, a christening in Clontarf, or a summer garden party in Ballsbridge or Dalkey. You'll find everything from canapes and finger food for a launch night to full buffets and seated three-course menus for a sit-down occasion. Browse real menus with real photos, see what each caterer charges per head, and book the one that fits.
A Dublin caterer handles the food side of your event end to end: menu, prep, delivery to your venue, and on the day either a clean drop-off or a full-service setup with staff, depending on the package you choose. You can book for corporate occasions like office lunches, board meetings, product launches and staff parties, and for private events like birthdays, anniversaries, engagement drinks, communions, christenings and house parties across the city and out into the county. Styles range widely, from finger food, canapes and grazing tables to hot buffets, BBQ spreads and plated three-course dinners, covering Irish, Italian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Asian and modern European menus, with vegetarian, vegan and allergen-aware options on most listings. As a rough guide, finger food and canapes tend to run about €20–30 per head, buffets around €25–40pp, a seated three-course menu roughly €45–70pp, and premium menus from €75pp. These are typical Dublin market rates: each host sets their own price, which you see in full on the listing before you book. If you run regular team lunches or host the same crowd every year, you can rebook a caterer you liked and adjust the package and guest count each time. Every host on CaterKin is verified, payments run through Stripe and are held until after your event, hosts keep 85% with a flat 15% platform fee, and you can amend an order up to 24 hours before or cancel 7 or more days ahead for a full refund.

For teams in the IFSC, the Docklands, Sandyford and the city centre, office catering is one of the most common bookings in Dublin, and it works the same way as everything else: pick a package, see the total, book it. Caterers handle working lunches, all-hands meetings, client presentations, product launches and Christmas staff parties, with drop-off platters for a quick desk lunch or full-service setups when you want it staffed and served. Most listings let you set a clear head count and choose hot or cold spreads, finger food, or a plated meal, with vegetarian, vegan and allergen-aware options so nobody on the team is left out. Because the price is fixed before you confirm, it's easy to get a purchase order signed off without chasing numbers. You can amend the order or add extras up to 24 hours before, and rebook the same caterer for your next round of meetings.
