Elite Cuisine catered my wedding on the 14th April. Ber, Ian and the whole team were a dream to deal with from start to finish. They are very responsive and organised which is exactly what we needed. The food was delicious and the overall experience even better so I highly recommend them!!!

Hi Ber,

Just a note to say a huge ‘thank you’ for everything on Saturday.  The food was great, as always and the desserts were delicious! Evelina and Jenny were fantastic.  They were so pleasant and helpful and looked after our guests all through the day, so that we were able to relax.

It was great to come back from the church and have everything organised and ready to go!

I think this was the fourth time we used Elite and we will do so again in the future!

Many thanks again!

Thanks again for providing the catering for our Son’s First Holy Communion.

Everyone commented on the fantastic presentation and quality of the food.  We couldn’t fault any aspect of the food or service.

The portions were very generous and you provided all the finishing touches like providing lovely platters, serving utensils, butter and napkins.

We would definitely recommend you and would use your catering again in the future for a similar event.

Kind Regards,

                                                                                                                              Julie Kelleher, Communion ‘18

Just a quick note of thank you for providing the catering for our children Leah & Fionn’s communion on Saturday 12th May.  Everything from start to finish was fabulous, from creating the menu, the team coming out setting up tables etc,  dropping off the food on the day, everything was perfect and you totally took the pressure off us.  Our guests couldn’t praise the food enough with a few commenting that the Apple pie was the nicest they ever had.

We had a great day and appreciate everything you did for us.  We look forward to using you again for future events.

Regards
                                                                                                       Lorraine Horgan and Anita Alvarado, May ‘18

We had our daughters First Communion recently & Ber Elite Cuisine catered for us. From the moment I first rang to the time all the plates, cutlery was collected, the service was 100%professional. We ordered food for both adults and kids and the food was top notch. Elite Cuisine was highly complemented by all our guests who enjoyed the food. It took the stress out of the day , with 50 guests, meant we could enjoy it alot better.
Cannot recommend Elite Cuisine highly enough and will hopefully be using them again.
Thanks again Ber
                                                                                                                                          Suzi O’Connor, May 2018

I am glad to recommend Elite Cuisine Ltd., a food and catering services in Cork.  Elite Cuisine Ltd., is an efficient and professional service provider in the food and catering market. Our family events on a number of occasions including Communions completely relied on the smoothness of the service and high quality of food that Ber and her team at Elite Cuisine Ltd. provided.  Ber, offered 24/7 availability to deal with planning the event along with all my queries and concerns prior to the events.  On the day of the events I was confident that Ber and her team would ensure that everything was taken care of and that the event was a success.   Therefore, I find Elite Cuisine Ltd. the best service provider for food catering in the region.

In addition to the quality of their service that they provide, their prices are also competitive and good value for money while at the same time their food is of a very high quality.

We are using the services of the Elite Cuisine Ltd. for the last three years and have never faced any problems, delays or negative feedback from guests.  In fact the feedback from guests has been all positive with people enquiring for Elite Cuisine Ltd.’s contact details and others requesting recipes for food.

I am sure that Elite Cuisine Ltd. will ensure your dinner party, family occasion, corporate event or a business function is a success.                                                                                                                         Susan Norton, May ‘18

 

Elite Catering supplied the food and service for the ‘afters’ of our wedding.  We were extremely happy with the very professional service and the high quality of the food.  We had shopped around with potential suppliers, but once we contacted Elite we knew that we had found the right supplier.  No other Cork supplier that we contacted (and we contacted a lot) were as ‘on the ball’ as Elite were from the first contact we made.  Elite supplied the full package of excellent communications and planning with the MDs, lovely serving staff (Chloe and Ciara) on the evening, and generous portions of delicious food delivered fresh, warm, and on time.  Everyone raved afterwards about the BBQ ribs in particular!  Would have no hesitation in recommending Elite, and they will be my first choice if and when we next need a catering supplier.

All the best,                                                                                                                  Mary O’Rourke, June 2018

 

“I booked Elite Cuisine to cater a BBQ at our home for my daughter and son in law’s post wedding party. Ber was so helpful with the choice of menu and accompanying salads. Chef Paul was amazing on the day setting everything up and cooking the food to perfection. Our 70 plus guests enjoyed themselves immensely and because Elite Cuisine were taking care of everything we, as hosts, were able to enjoy the delicious food and spend all our time with our guests. Having Elite supply the food, Paul the chef to cook on site and hiring the BBQ itself, the cutlery, plates and glassware (all taken away to be washed afterwards) was incredible value for money and I would highly recommend them.                                                                                                         ACunningham, Rochestown. June ‘18

From the moment I called Elite Cuisine and spoke to Ber her warm manner, knowledge and professionalism, put me at ease making me confident that we had made the right choice and our event would be in good hands .

Ber understood the type of event we were hosting and what we wanted to achieve on the night. Ber made some great suggestions and offered her deep industry experience while being conscience of our budget.

On the night everything went smoothly as Ber and her team set up, served food and cleaned up with no fuss. The quality of the food was delicious and many people gave us great feedback on how much they enjoyed the food.

Thank you Ber and your team for such a wonderful and professional service you provided to us for our DisruptHR event. We would have no hesitation in recommending you for any event.

Hi Ber,
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything Sat night.
The food was amazing! Everyone was talking about it and was asking me how I heard about you.

The gang went up for 2nds and 3rds and we cleared almost everything and mum and dad were uber impressed!

Thanks again and will be recommending ye to anyone who asks!

                                                                                                                                 Sue Byeford,Blackrock Sep ‘17

As soon as I got the date for my daughter’s Communion I rang Ber @ Elite. She came up to my house went through menu options with me and gave me advice on how to work the day. She also recommended Axis Marquee to me who were also fantastic and put up a fine size Marquee in my garden still leaving room for the bouncy castle.

On the day itself a team of 3 lovely young ladies arrived from Elite. They set up the food served drinks, cleared away the hot food and served dessert.  From the moment they arrived they blended in with my family and friends and were the nicest professional group of catering staff you could hope to meet. I literally felt like a guest at my own party there was nothing for me to do they were just super.

We opted for the BBQ menu, ribs, burgers, sausages, chicken plain and Cajun and salads. All the guests raved about the food how tasty it was and it still tasted great the following day for leftovers!

I can’t recommend Elite enough – if my son wants a similar party for his Communion I will definitely be using Elite again.

Hi Ber.  

Just an email to say thanks a million for all your help at the weekend.  The food was amazing and Aoife was a fantastic help. Really made a massive difference to our day.

Definitely use you in two years time for the next communion if not before!!

Regards,

The food was delicious and the overall experience even better so I highly recommend them!!!                                 Martina O’Sullivan

Ber and the team at Elite Cuisine were an absolute pleasure to deal with.
From the very first meeting, we knew our event would be in safe hands. We were presented with a huge option of food and were advised on what would best suit our event. We were then presented with tasting samples before and given a full and thorough run through on how they would operate on the night.
On the night, all of the Elite Cusine team arrived on time and were very pleasant and professional to deal with . Our customers were treated very well by the team and never wanted for food or drink as they were always on hand. If you are thinking of an event, look no further than the team at Elite Cuisine.

Kind Regards,                                                                 Olan Hodnett, Kearys Motor Group Cork

 

We used the services of Elite Cuisine in early October 2016. They provided an impressive and professional service. Their organisational skills and attention to detail were superb.

The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The members of staff were all extremely attentive and capable but unobtrusive. Elite Cuisine were a pleasure to deal with and we would highly recommend them”

Thank you Ber, you were amazing last night, seamless and perfect in every way! You only added magic to the venue/event and we will most definitely be doing it again with you Ber. All brilliant feedback ref the food too! Thank you for making it an event to remember and be proud of Ber, Great value! Best wishes,                                                             John  Freestyle Consultant, Douglas 2016

Hi Ber, We hadn’t direct experience of Elite prior to the booking for the communion but found the website to be well organised and informative – gave us the confidence to book. The service provided was excellent as expected – took all the worry out of the catering aspect of the day. Thanks to you and the team.                                                                                                       Turlough,Douglas May 2016

Dear Ber

Many thanks to you and your team for such a superb job with the catering for my daughters communion.Your guidance with menu choices for the adults and children were spot on and everyone complimented the food. Your relaxed, yet professional approach on the day made sure that it was a relaxed experience for all and we would not hesitate to use Elite Cuisine again.

Hi Ber

I would like to thank you so much for everything on Sat, all our guests were talking about the fantastic food, it really was amazing. A very big thank you for your beautiful gift & card that you gave Molly she was absolutely thrilled when she opened it, it was very kind & thoughtful of you. I will be highly recommending  you for your fantastic food & service, it meant a lot on the day to us. Many than

The service we received from Elite Cuisine was flawless. They were extremely professional from the very first call and I would be happy to recommend them.                        G Duggan Feb 2016

Dear Ber, From the moment I phoned and spoke to Ber I relaxed. Her professionalism was evident from the start and her sound advise was invaluable. The catering for my husbands birthday party was the easiest part of the organisation thanks to Ber and her wonderful team. On the night Evonne and Laura took over and the food was served beautifully and seamlessly. They cleaned everything up quietly and efficiently and took all the rubbish away with them. I could not believe how little I had to do the next day, they even filled the dishwasher! Everyone of the guests commented on the fabulous food and many have asked for Elite Cuisines details. I will definitely use them again. I cannot praise them highly enough. Thank you Ber, Evonne , Laura and chefs.

We hired Elite Cuisine catering for a party the day after our son’s wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with how things went. Everything, from the food, to the service, to cleaning up afterwards was excellent. The staff arrived and set up everything on their own, we hardly knew they were here. They knew exactly what to do. The food was delicious, in fact so many people went back for seconds we were in danger of running out!

We were very impressed how the girls performed the miracle of the loaves and the fishes, subtly adapting portion sizes so nobody went without. The girls were very professional and worked so hard for all the time they were here, doing all the behind the scenes work that made the party an absolute sucess. They even washed all our own dishes which we really appreciated the following day!

Last but not least we would like to thank Ber O’Donovan for all her help planning this event. Her knowledge and her experience, not to mention her calming influence during the pre-wedding chaos, was much appreciated.

                                                                                                             Claire Lehane Mar ‘15

Words cannot express how happy my husband and I were to have chosen Elite Cuisine to cater for our garden wedding. For us, they really did excel, especially in four key areas.

Food: Elite Cuisine served up a scrumptious starter and canapés, and a piping hot, delicious main course. Every one of our 50 guests raved about the food, commenting that it was extremely tasty, roasting hot, and there was plenty of it! Our guests especially enjoyed the canapés served during the drinks reception.

Staff: Accommodating would be an understatement! Nothing was too big a job for the team. The staff on the day were absolute professionals. They were courteous, cooperative, friendly and polished. Not only did they serve the food, they also decorated the marquee exquisitely for the main meal and kept the entire place in ship shape throughout the day. They weren’t just caterers on the day, they actually helped manage the wedding.

Pre Planning: Ber was the most professional, accommodating caterer we had met. She met us in a hotel near our workplace and instantly put our minds at rest. She gave us lots of options to suit our taste and budget, and she also helped us source vendors for the wine and furniture. Elite Cuisine invited us their premises to try the menu before hand, and really went out of their way to understand what we where trying to achieve on the day so that they could best support us.

Value for money: The best value for money!!! For the quality of food you get and the experience and professionalism of the team, it is money well spent!

I would have no hesitation recommending Elite Cuisine for any type of event. We were truly happy with their service, and extremely grateful they took such good care of us on our special day.

Many thanks to Ber, Ian and all the team at Elite Cuisine Aug ‘14

“Thank-you everyone for your help with our Christening party. The food was fabulous and the service was excellent. I am really glad we had an extra pair of hands on the day, it meant we could spend time talking with our guests instead of buzzing about the place with food and drinks for everyone. There was not a single thing I could fault and I won’t hesitate to contact you again the next time I am hosting an event.”

“Marcella in particular was amazing. My guests all thought she was a close friend, not someone I met literally just before they arrived. Thanks for everything!”

“Ber, Ian and Team delivered an incredible service – sharing invaluable recommendations around the planning piece and delivering top-notch, locally produced foods. Our Voxpro New Office Launch was a wild success and Elite Cuisine contributed hugely to our delivery of an overall impressive, professional, memorable occasion’

                                                 Corinne A. Culloty,Client Account Manager,Voxpro                        

Hi Ber,

Just a note to say thank you for making our party such a success, great food and excellent service and to think I picked Elite Cuisine out of the Golden Pages! How lucky can you get?

Your suggestions re. Marquee rental, fridge rental, tables and table cloths etc were spot on. You and your team are true professionals.

You inspired confidence in me from the first telephone conversation and on the evening once we copped on that you had everything under control (drinks and barbequing) and all we had to do was chat to our friends and family, we relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. Tables were cleared and dessert appeared as if by magic!

We will have another party maybe not for 120 but we have a few significant Birthdays coming up and we could get used to not having any wash up to do the next day esp. George who is the main washer upper in this house. He was very impressed as soon as you and your team walked in the door having not met you before.

Having the hot meal delivered the next day for the 30 stragglers was lovely; Marcie set it all up beautifully.

Thank you so much all of you,

                                                                                             Karen Ferguson ,Brinny  July ‘14

 

Elite Cuisine catered for our wedding at the Cork City Gaol for 120 guests. Through all the preparation of the wedding and the actually wedding evening, Ber and her team proved to be consummate professionals who did a fantastic job. All our guests were impressed by the quality of service and friendliness. We had a bbq and hog roast which went down a treat with all our guests! We really felt that Ber and her team were invested in making our wedding day as successful as possible.

Many thanks!

Elite Cuisine certainly set the standard in providing the best in event planning, high quality food and service on par with any 5 star hotel for our recent private dining event. We cannot recommend highly enough Elite Cuisine for any function based on the comments and reactions of our guests on the night. Thank you to Ber and Ian and their staff for their contribution for a truly memorable occasion.

Ber,
Just a short note to express our gratitude to all in Elite Cuisine.
The food for the evening was superb and looked amazing giving the party the wow factor we were looking to achieve.
This was matched by the professionalism of the team (Kerry, Donna and Karen) you sent over to help us make the party a success. Their presence was unobtrusive yet very attentive and allowed us to enjoy the evening as much as our guests.
By the number of people that asked what caterers we used we are sure you will get many enquiries from the evening and it is our intention to use Elite Cuisine for our daughter’s communion in 2015.
Again many thanks to you and your team and we look forward to working with you all again.

We have been using Elite Cuisine for our corporate catering events for the past 18 months. We have always found them to be highly professional and courteous and nothing seems to be too much trouble. They always go above and beyond, and tailor their menus to work within our budgets. I have also been fortunate enough to use them for some home catering events and the quality of food and service has always been second to none. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Elite Cuisine Kindest Regards

Just want you to know how delighted we were with everything you did for our communion party on the 18th May. The food was out of this world.

I and many of my friends would have no hesitation in recommending  Elite Cuisine  and hopefully I will have reason to use you again before too long.

I used Elite Cuisine for a recent commercial production in Cork and was delighted with their catering. The choice and quality of food was excellent and a success with our crew. Ber provided us with an efficient and flexible service, offering helpful suggestions as to what would work best for our location needs. I would certainly use Elite if shooting in Cork again, and would highly recommend them to other productions, or indeed anyone looking for good quality catering.

“We asked Elite Cuisine to cater for the Official Opening of our new school in October 2012. From the initial contact we found them to be very professional in their approach. Ber advised us on the amount of food we would need for the number we expected to attend, the number of staff required and the correct set-up necessary. On the day the food was excellent and everyone complimented the caterers. Elite provided a full service from set up, hiring glasses, serving food and drink and cleaning up afterwards. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the total service and would be happy to use their services again and recommend them to others. They greatly added to the sucess of the occasion.”

Bruce Pierce Director of Education,St.Lukes, Northridge House,Cork ‘12

Elite Cuisine were recommended to me as I was arranging a dinner for 60 Rotarians and their guests in an unusual venue with absolutely no facilities (running water, power points etc). From our first meeting it was obvious that Ber O’Donovan and Ian, the chef, fully understood what we needed. They offered us a wonderful choice of starters and main course and they accepted readily our request to provide the deserts ourselves. They guided us on our choice of food. We arranged for them to deliver the food about an hour before the guests were to arrive. All was put into place very quietly and efficiently. The starter was plated up and put ready on the tables and the hot main course left in chaffing dishes with instructions and extra heaters so that the food would keep warm as long as we needed. They also provided the necesssary servers and then went away. The guests were delighted with the meal. Comments were made that the expectation of caterers is rather bland ordinary food, but not in this case. There was absolutely no food left on the plates at the end and many came up for second helpings! We had many compliments about it all. Finally, we left the empty containers, chaffing dishes and servers at the venue and these were collected without any fuss on the following Monday. I would highly recommend Elite Cuisine to anyone thinking of organising an event. They will not let you down.
