Catering in Killarney

Three caterers can reach Killarney today, with package prices from €25 to €70 a head and a typical price of about €27. One is based in Killarney itself, about 7 km from the centre. The others travel from Charleville in North Cork and from Ennis in Co. Clare, so the list is short, and the journey from those two is long.

The Killarney caterer does private dining and event catering, from casual barbecues and buffets to refined fine-dining dinners, for groups of 6 to 100 with a minimum order of €80. The Charleville caterer cooks over live fire for larger events from 30 to 250 guests, and the Ennis caterer is a fish and chips food truck that takes bookings of 50 guests and up. All three list a travel radius of up to 100 km.

The jobs in Kerry tend to be a family gathering in a holiday house, a small wedding, a christening or communion party, or a corporate weekend around the lakes. Towns such as Kenmare, Killorglin, Tralee and Dingle sit within 100 km of Killarney, so a Killarney-based caterer is in range for most of the county. Check each listing for what is included, because it varies between a drop-off tray and full service with staff.

Every package shows a price per head, so you can enter your numbers and see the total before you commit. Message the caterer first if you want a dish changed or have an allergy to flag. Enquiring is free and needs no card.

Your card is only charged once the caterer accepts the booking, and the cancellation terms are shown before you pay. Summer weekends, bank holiday weekends and the run into Christmas are busy in Killarney, so book as soon as the date is fixed. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free needs are normal requests, so give the caterer your numbers and any allergies in your first message.
