Our Beginnings

Founded in 2003 by Colm and Aideen O'Brien, we are proud to be Ireland's ORIGINAL, leading and longest-established school meal specialist. Our journey began with a small but impactful pilot project in Limerick, serving just 27 lunches on our first day. What started as a small family venture has grown into a trusted partner for schools across the country. Today, we proudly deliver over 150,000 meals weekly to schools across the nation.
