Duhallow Community Food Services CLG

Duhallow Community Food Services Company Limited by Guarantee is an award‑winning community enterprise founded in 1997. It delivers a vital range of food‑related services to people who are unable to cook for themselves, including seniors, the ill, those without transport and other rural residents who might otherwise be isolated. The organisation operates a stylish restaurant open six days a week, a bustling bakery that starts production at 5 am, an outside‑catering service for home celebrations, and a subsidised rural meals delivery scheme that brings freshly prepared dishes straight to the door across the Duhallow area.

Key offerings include a full breakfast, brunch and lunch menu, traditional afternoon tea, a dedicated seniors’ lunch at €10, and a Saturday brunch featuring pancakes, eggs benedict and smoothies. The bakery supplies home‑baked scones, cakes, buns, tarts and custom celebration cakes to local shops, schools and the restaurant. For special occasions, the catering‑at‑home service provides salads, cold meats, hot dishes, finger foods and desserts, all prepared on the premises.

Through its diverse programmes, Duhallow Community Food Services supports the health, wellbeing and social connection of rural communities while celebrating the region’s culinary heritage.
