Delicious Milestones
2005
The start
In 2005 we sold our neighbourhood cafe in Dublin 8 & moved north of the Liffey to start a new food adventure in food production unit in Smithfield making beautiful artisan sandwiches & salads
2005 - 2008
The Good days
We were the true darlings of the office catering industry with our beautiful artisan sandwiches offering a wonderful alternative to limp sandwiches served on foil trays which was the norm back then
2013 - 2020
The Wholesale/Retail days
We dipped our toe into the retail sector & pivoted (yes we did it first in 2013!) by turning our corporate offering into a retail Grab & Go range which quickly gained traction in retail outlets all across Dublin
2020 - 2023
The Covid Days
Here we go again! This time it was the retail partners we relied on when the corporate market died during the recession, who disappeared- not all of them, but we were decimated! But we did what we coud to survive we vacpaced a million (only joking but it did feel like a million) gherkins/ cheese slices/ sauce bottles for a customer- we made, bagged & labelled over one tonne of granola for a clients, in an oven that made 6kg at a time! & we survived
2024 onwards
Today!
Having outgrown our small production unit in SPADE before Covid hit, we finally moved to a superb new production unit just 500m's away & have been growing steadily, gaining new clients who love our our food, our ethos & our family way of doing business,
