Major catering award for "A Slice of Life"

 

An Athlone-based catering company which was established in 1993 is this week celebrating winning the Regional Caterer of the Year Award at the prestigious Irish Food Awards.

A Slice of Life Catering and Bakery is run by sisters, Elaine Allen and Leigh Moran, who have built up a strong reputation across the Midlands for their catering services, and also for their home made produce and occasion cakes.

As well as catering for such huge events as the All-Ireland Drama Festival every year, A Slice of Life has also provided catering services to a wide range of local companies, including Utah Medical, Alkermes and Athlone Extrusions. They specialise in catering for all special occasions, including Communions, Confirmations, Christenings and Birthdays and they provide a complete service to clients, everything from the plates and cutlery is supplied and, most importantly, the Slice of Life team clean up at the end, leaving everyone free to enjoy the party!

From their state of the art kitchen in Shelmalier House, Cartrontroy, the Slice of Life team also home bake, ice and decorate specialty cakes for all occasions, and they also supply home made treats, healthy breads, tarts and quiches and a selection of cakes, including their secret recipe Madeira cake, to Behans Fruit and Veg in Irishtown, and Dooleys Westend, on Magazine road, on a daily basis.

Winning the Midlands Regional Award at the Irish Food Awards is a dream come true for the enterprising and hardworking team at A Slice of Life, and they are looking forward to continuing to provide top-class catering services to all their clients.
