Denise Cahill, Healthy Cities Co-ordinator.
Sanctuary Catering catered for around 100 guests at our 2025 Festival programme launch. We were really impressed with the food, and we received very positive feedback from our guests. We will definitely work with them again!" Michelle Reid, Head of Development, Cork International Film Festival
At Ó Bhéal go Béal, we first encountered Sanctuary Catering at an Arts and Culture Strategy launch in Cork City Hall, and we were immediately struck by the warmth, professionalism, and heart behind their work. So when it came time to organise our Winter Warmer poetry festival, we knew straight away that Sanctuary would be the perfect choice to cater our staff and volunteer meal.
From the very first message, the communication was clear, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. Sanctuary made the entire process - from planning to delivery - wonderfully easy and completely stress-free. The food was delicious and enjoyed by all. We are delighted to recommend Sanctuary Catering and look forward to working with them again.
