Marina’s Private Catering Expands

By Liam Cosgrove

Marina’s Catering has been in operation for the past 9 years and was until recently run in conjunction with Downey’s Bar, Society St. Moving ahead, Marina is going to expand and develop the catering element of the business. With many years of expertise behind them, they offer customers the best quality locally sourced produce prepared by their skilled team and delivered to your venue in a highly professional manner. “We take pride in the amount of repeat business that we get so people must be happy with our service. Whether you are catering for a small party at home or a larger function at another venue we can do the job. We will help you decide what food etc. will be best suited to your occasion and your budget” explains Marina.

They supply plates and cutlery and can also supply tressel tables. The equipment is electric so there is no chance of food being cold and the bain-maries keep food in good condition for up to 3 or 4 hours-so if anybody likes second helpings it’s there. They deliver to your venue and collect the equipment the next day or earlier if you want. A varied menu from Gourmet Sandwich Selection to Canapés to Hot Finger Food to Roasts, Curries, Lasagne, salads is on hand and they also cater for special dietary requirements that your guests may have. They lavishly catered for a wedding of 120 guests in Cloghan Castle, outside Gort, and more recently at a local wedding in the couple’s home last Christmas, so they have lots of experience.... no job is too large or too small!

The easing of restrictions has given a great boost too as so many people are having small gatherings at home with maybe an outside awning - this has kept them busy since June almost every week. Downey’s Bar will be opening up in the next few weeks under new management, so keep your eyes open for more news soon!! Marina can be contacted at marinadowney31@gmail.com or by phone or Messenger on 087 2311385. A new Website will be launched soon.
