Before you book
Which areas does Rowans cover?
Rowans is based on Main Street in Rathfarnham, Dublin, so that is the area it works from. Other places are worth raising when you ask, as delivery and set-up depend on the event and the venue. You can ask whether it can cater at your home or venue.
What affects the price of catering in Dublin?
The price of catering in Dublin depends mainly on the number of guests, the menu and style of service, and the staff and equipment needed. Dietary requirements can also shape the menu. The Caterer price guide gives typical prices in Ireland, which helps you judge a quote.
Is Rowans registered or qualified for this work?
For catering, the thing to ask for is a public liability certificate, as many venues will not let a supplier in without one. You can also ask Rowans about its experience of events like yours and the menus it has prepared for them. A written quote helps you check what is covered.
Is the work insured and guaranteed?
It is usual for a catering business in Ireland to carry public liability insurance, so you can ask Rowans for the certificate before booking. You can also ask how it handles food safety, late changes to numbers and any problem on the day. You can ask for the terms in writing.
What do customers say about Rowans?

When you read them, look at how recent they are and whether they mention catering for events like yours. You can also ask Rowans for references from recent customers.
Is there a grant for catering?
Catering is not usually covered by a home grant, as grants in Ireland tend to be for work on a house rather than for food or events. This means the cost of the event is normally yours to plan for. You can ask Rowans about menu options that suit your budget and guest numbers.
How do I get a quote from Rowans?
You can ask Rowans for a quote by phone, through its website or through its Locufy page. Tell it what the event is, where it will be held, the number of guests, any dietary needs and the date that suits you. Photos of the venue can help too.
