We will be celebrating a family reunion in Dublin suburb Howth in August. I would like to hire a local chef to prepare a private dinner (traditional Irish meal) at the house we are renting. Does anyone have a resource/recommendation for finding a company that I contact for a private chef?
Thank you

If you Google “private meal catering Howth” you will get a few possibilities. Not sure about traditional food, but it’s a great town for seafood. You might also try the Abbey Tavern. It’s a nice, traditional-style pub that serves private parties (according to their website). You might ask them if they could cater a meal in your home.
Good luck and enjoy!

I wanted to provide an update to our search for a private chef in Ireland; specifically in the Dublin area of Howth. My wife and I have just returned from Ireland and we have great news. We were able to identify a private chef(s) and enjoyed an incredible home cooked, traditional Irish holiday meal for our family of 6; it was an experience we will not forget. So, for anyone traveling to Ireland who would like to experience a private meal by an exceptional chef(s), either at your residence or at the chefs private home, here is contact information:
- MARY DRUM: Mary is an award winning Irish chef who can be reached at [email protected] or on her Instagram site DRUMS KITCHEN....MELROSE COTTAGE. As an additional resource, her daughter ERICA can be reached at TRAVELING SPOON. Go to Ireland.....Dublin and look for the post on Modern Irish Cooking. ERICA can also be reached at FAB FOOD TRAILS in Dublin.
Our dinner meal consisted of 2 wonderful appetizers, a main course of an Irish holiday meal, and a dessert...all locally sourced fresh foods. Mary and Erica can prepare your selected menu items or they can suggest options for appetizers, mains and dessert to fit your appetite.
