About Chef In A Box

Great Food. Made in Ireland. Ready When You Are.

At Chef In A Box, we believe great food should be convenient without compromising on quality.

From a family dinner at home to meals for a workplace, school, healthcare provider or community catering service, we provide chef-prepared ready meals made in Ireland and delivered nationwide.

Our meals are created to make life easier — giving our customers delicious, reliable food without the time, labour and preparation involved in cooking from scratch.

Made with Care. Prepared by Chefs.

We don't believe convenience should mean cutting corners.

Our meals are prepared using traditional cooking methods, carefully developed recipes and quality ingredients, with a focus on delivering the taste and consistency you'd expect from a professionally prepared meal.

From traditional favourites to contemporary dishes, our range is designed to provide something for everyone — whether you're looking for a quick individual meal, feeding a family or supplying meals to hundreds of people.

Once prepared, our meals are carefully chilled and packaged to help maintain their quality, freshness and flavour from our kitchen to your door.

Proudly Made in Ireland

Our state-of-the-art food manufacturing facility in Drumshanbo, Co. Leitrim is at the heart of Chef In A Box.

Our team of 55 employees and growing works every day to produce high-quality meals for customers throughout Ireland.

Where possible, we source ingredients from Irish suppliers, supporting local producers while helping us maintain the quality standards we expect from our products.
