Master Chefs Hospitality For over two decades Master Chefs has been setting standards within the food industry. But we are just getting started. Limerick.

Over that time we have evolved from being a conventional event catering operation into a more diverse and ambitious business, garnering multiple awards along the way. An independently owned Irish business, we are industry leaders in sustainable practice, fully committed to our goal of becoming a zero waste enterprise as we continue to champion local producers. As Master Chefs continues to grow, one thing will remain unchanged, our focus on the highest levels of excellence in everything that we do. WHAT WE DO

For over twenty years, we have collaborated with our customers to champion Irish produce and provide excellent catering solutions. Through Ellan Farm, our vision is to provide a living platform and central hub to connect, educate and regenerate a thriving culinary sector. Our 20-acre organic farm in Ballyneety, Co. Is designed to close the loop on how we grow, serve and return food to the land. Born from a passion for sustainability and innovation, it allows us to reimagine what catering and events can look like when driven by care for the planet.

A wet and windy Bank Holiday Monday didn’t stop us from bringing a taste of autumn to the University of Limerick!

Yesterday, Chef Michelle joined Campus Life Services at the Pavilion Restaurant for another successful cooking demonstration, sharing practical cooking skills, simple seasonal recipes and creative ways to make the most of our ingredients while reducing food waste & food cost!

The star of the show?  Seasonal pumpkin and butternut squash, freshly harvested from our own Organic Ellan Farm in Ballyneety, just 14km from UL.

Our A Taste of Autumn demo showcased four delicious recipes that are easy to recreate at home:

- Thai-Style Pumpkin & Coconut Soup with Lime
- Squash Fritters with Pickled Red Onion & Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
- Roasted Pumpkin Hummus with Flatbread
- Pumpkin & Dark Chocolate Traybake

From making the most of seasonal produce to turning pumpkin seeds and other ingredients into something delicious, the focus was on demonstrating that sustainable, zero-waste cooking can be simple, practical and full of flavour.

At Master Chefs, we believe sustainability starts with the ingredients we choose and how we use them. With Ellan Farm, we’re proud to bring our farm-to-fork philosophy to life, connecting locally grown, organic produce with the food we prepare and the communities we serve.

A big thank you to Campus Life Services and everyone who joined us at the Pavilion. And of course, to Chef Michelle for sharing her knowledge, creativity and passion for seasonal cooking!

This week, we were delighted to support at Maynooth University, celebrating the importance of healthy eating, physical activity and overall wellbeing.

At Master Chefs, we believe that good food can make a real difference to how we feel, how we perform and how we connect with the world around us. Maynooth University has the same commitment to creating a healthier, more sustainable campus, where making better food choices is part of everyday life.

To celebrate Maynooth University Healthy Campus, we’re offering 20% off our new Salad Bar in the Phoenix Food Court and sponsoring organic hampers for student prize giveaways.

What makes this initiative even more special is that our Salad Bar and organic hampers feature produce from Ellan Farm, our own certified organic farm in Limerick. It’s a real example of our farm-to-fork approach in action, connecting students with fresh, seasonally grown food.

From nourishing our bodies to supporting more sustainable food systems, we believe that healthier choices should be accessible, enjoyable and part of everyday campus life.

A big well done to Maynooth University and the Healthy Campus team for championing student wellbeing and creating opportunities for the campus community to thrive.

Good food. Better choices. A healthier, more sustainable future.

Yesterday, we hosted our first Ellan Farm experience for clients, partners and suppliers, an afternoon built around our organic, farm-to-fork approach to catering.

Guests arrived to an organically inspired reception of canapés and a signature mocktail, before a guided farm walk led by our Organic Specialist, Mary Lynch. Our CEO, Pat O Sullivan shared his vision for why a catering company owns and operates an organic farm with a video from Joe Kelleher from Teagasc who introduced the Mid-West Bio-District and its role in advancing sustainable food systems.

Into the evening, Executive Chef Michelle O Donnell delivered another exceptional dinner showcasing the full range of beautiful organic produce grown on the farm, proof that sustainability and outstanding hospitality go hand in hand.

This is a clear, living example of our commitment to sustainable catering, short supply chains and real traceability from our farm to your fork.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all the support from our partners.

Today was Healthy Heart Day at Secours with a special Valentine’s inspired lunch focused on nourishment and flavour.

The team enjoyed a selection of delicious mains, vibrant freshly prepared salads and a few thoughtful sweet treats for the sweethearts.

Themed highlights included a fresh mixed berry & yoghurt smoothie and a very popular Healthy Heart Truffle made with raspberries, flaxseeds, almonds, dark chocolate, maple and coconut. Focusing on natural sweeteners instead of refined sugars.

Supporting wellbeing through great food.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Master Chefs has won Excellence in Sustainability at the , presented last night at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dublin.

This award reflects the consistent, often behind the scenes efforts of the entire Master Chefs team, who work every day to embed sustainability into how we plan, deliver and evolve our operations. It is a collective achievement and one we are extremely proud of.
