In response to the current pandemic we have added enhanced health and safety measures, and have adapted our hospitality offerings and banquet seating options to allow for social distancing. We also have a dine in at home option for events and banquets that aren’t able to take place face-to-face. This can also be integrated in with our online event platform for virtual events. Find out more about The CCD At Your Table - a unique dining experience where delegates can enjoy our mouth-watering cuisine delivered right to their doors, anywhere in Ireland.
