A Decade of Dedication to Culinary Excellence
For ten years, Yes Chef Catering has been a cornerstone of the Donegal and north West communities, providing remarkable catering services for everything from intimate family gatherings to large-scale corporate events.

More than Just catering: Building Community Through Food
Yes Chef’s impact extends beyond the plate. They have become an integral part of the community, fostering relationships with local businesses, sports teams, and families. their dedication to using fresh, local ingredients whenever possible not only enhances the flavor of their dishes but also supports the regional economy.
In the U.S., similar catering businesses have found success by focusing on community engagement.For exmaple, some caterers partner with local farms to source seasonal produce, offering a “farm-to-table” experience that resonates with health-conscious consumers. Others participate in community events, providing food and raising awareness for local causes. This business model works particularly well in smaller communities, fostering strong ties and repeat business.
From Football Feasts to Five-Course Weddings
Yes Chef’s versatility is evident in their diverse range of services. They’ve nourished winning football teams with tailored nutritional plans and created magical memories at weddings, christenings, and other family celebrations. Their commitment to quality and attention to detail ensures that every event is a success.
The company’s offerings include:
- BBQs and Parties
- Family gatherings
- Corporate Events
- Product Launches
- Anniversaries
- Dine-at-Home Menu
The “Dine-at-Home” menu, featuring customer favorites like lasagne, chicken curry, and homemade desserts, provides a convenient and delicious option for busy families. This service is particularly appealing in today’s fast-paced world, where many people struggle to find time for home-cooked meals. Meal kit delivery services are a prevalent example Stateside, appealing to the same need, but Yes Chef focus on fully prepared dishes ready to eat.
The Christmas Dinner Collection: A Holiday Tradition
