Arguably one of With Taste's professional highlights was the privilege of being called to cater for the state banquet which was held in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Dublin Castle. Of the many highlights of her majesty’s historic visit to Ireland, was the state dinner at Dublin Castle in which she together with our own president Mary McAleese addressed the historic relationship between the two neighbouring countries.
The state dinner was attended by over 160 guests, many of whom were made up of government officials from both England and Ireland. The extensive guest list not only included members of state from both countries but also included some of Irelands best known poets, writers and sportsmen. Nobel Laureate and one of Irelands best loved poets Seamus Heaney, as well as Irish rugby star Brian O’Driscoll graced the dinner with their presence alongside noted dignitaries such as the British Prime Minister David Cameron and our own Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
The state banquet proved to be a notable and historic occasion and was noted for the moving speech in which both her majesty Queen Elizabeth and our own president Mary McAleese addressed the painful legacy of our shared history.
Beside such a historic backdrop we at With Taste were most delighted and honoured to have lend our services to this historic and moving event, providing a dining experience fit for a queen and highlighting the very best in Irish cuisine and hospitality.
