Rob Murphy2024-11-19 If you're looking for perfection in every detail of your event, look no further than Paul Canning Home Dining. Paul truly went above and beyond to make our occasion unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, his professionalism and passion for what he does shone through. The food was nothing short of extraordinary—every single dish was crafted to perfection, both in taste and presentation. Guests at the event couldn’t stop raving about the quality, creativity, and flavor of every bite. Paul's attention to detail, his willingness to accommodate every request, and the seamless way he handled everything made hosting effortless and enjoyable. He brought a touch of magic to the event that we will never forget. If you want a hassle free amazing service I couldn’t recommend Paul more. Thank you, Paul, for exceeding every expectation can’t wait to use you again, Rob and Shane Maretta Byrne2024-10-13 I couldn't fault Paul and the lovely Oonagh. From the outset they made me relaxed in my own house! They made themselves very much at home in my Kitchen. It was strange to be sitting back and have people cooking , but I can tell you it was the best food by far that has ever come out of my Kitchen! The food was amaxing, the combination of sauces and flavours were a delight. All my guests were singing your praises, it was a new experience for us all and I guess it won't be the last. Una, our lovely waitress was there in the background making sure we all had drinks, she took some photo's, served us and generally looked after us all. And to top it all there wasnt as much as a fork to be cleaned after my guests were gone. Thank you so much both of you for making my husband's surprise 60th extra special. Noelle Doherty2024-10-05 Paul catered for a small party we had in the house. It was short notice and from the initial communication Paul was quick to respond and very efficient. He's very pleasant and accommodating, easy to work with. The food was exactly as expected, looked 👌 and tasted great. Everyone was impressed with the food and there was no complaints. Paul has lots of different options, for me the option I chose, the price reflected the quality. Thanks a mill Paul. Hope to work with you again in the future. Noelle Brendan O'Connor2024-09-04 Superb service all around. Paul communicated really well when we were organising party at home. And of course the food was amazing, the service was top notch, and Paul left the place spotless. We and our guests were delighted, it was a real treat. Would highly recommend… Susan o brien2024-08-12 We had Chef Paul for a special 70th Birthday celebration. A table of 8 for a fine dining dinner, what an amazing night! From the first phone too Chef Paul leaving, was a 1st class experience. He arrived at the door with the wonderful Una to cater our every need, which she did magnificently, we just sat back and enjoyed a 5 ⭐️ meal, every course was really delicious. I cannot recommend Chef Paul enough, it was truly memorable night. Thank you Chef Paul and Una, we will definitely see you again 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 tg casey2024-08-05 Really impressed with excellent food and service. All our guests loved the most delicious food. It really took the pressure of organising a family occasion and enabled us to enjoy all our company on the day. We will definitely recommend this to friends. Tracy Booth2024-05-28 We had Paul cater our daughters communion on sat. To say it was the best money we spent is an understatement! Food was absolutely amazing, the service from Paul was amazing. Everybody went back for 2nd helpings of food! We will definitely be using Paul for functions going forward and would highly recommend him Naoise2024-05-28 I booked Paul for my sons communion, he was very easy to deal and helped me chose my menu. Everything arrived on time and looked very professional. All of my guests raved about the food and I was really impressed. I would recommend Paul for any party or event Tom Farrell2024-05-19 Paul took care of our catering needs for our Son's First Communion party at home. Everything was flawless, from arranging a quote, to delivery of crockery, bunsen set up and then the delivery of food on the day. The food was plentiful, delicious and everyone came back for seconds and thirds. We also had platters of sandwiches and wraps for the evening, which were fresh and all eaten a day or two later. For 40 adults, we had the beef stroganoff and taditional chicken curry, together with rice, potatoes and 4 salads (noodle salad and red cabbage coleslaw were beautiful). We also had goujons and wedges for the kids. All in all, we couldn't recommend Paul enough. He is a down to earth, professional with years of experience, and we will definitely be using his services again next year for our daughter's First Communion. Thanks again Paul 👍 Amanda Dunne2024-05-14 The lovely Paul catered for my sons communion party recently and from the initial booking to the day itself Paul was on hand to advise & suggest multiple options..We had 20 adults & 15kids everyone was well catered for and complimented how beautiful the food was ..Paul took the stress out of everything regarding food for me and honestly it couldn’t have gone any better ..Paul’s really at the top of his game a genuinely lovely guy whom you feel very comfortable having in your home ..Will definitely book Paul again for my next event I couldn’t recommend him any higher ..Thanks again Paul ..Amanda & carter
Amazing food was provided by Chef Paul Canning yesterday. Amazing lasagne, chicken korma, loads of salads (noodles that were delicious), cheesy garlic potatoes, rice and poppadoms. Pear and Almond tart. I could go on and on. We had a restaurant delivered to the living room. We couldn’t recommend Paul highly enough
