The 2011 Solheim Cup - preparations well under way

Posted Thursday 15^th September 2011.

All,

The venue for The 2011 Solheim Cup is the wonderfully imposing Killeen Castle, located near the picturesque village of Dunsany, just north of Dunshaughlin in County Meath.

Overlooked by the ancient Hill of Tara, the castle is close to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Newgrange and the Hill of Tara, once the traditional seat of the High Kings, and perfect “days out” for visitors to the Golf Matches.

The 2011 Solheim Cup is a major event, not just in the golfing calendar, but also for the local area and Ireland in general. Thousands of home and visiting guests are due to attend from the practice days through the actual event itself and preparations are now very well underway for them to be well looked after on arrival and through the tournament itself.

John Coughlan Catering have been awarded the prestigious contract to cater for the many guests, corporate clients, media, staff and officials and looking now at this mammoth project they are well set up and in advance of schedule to offer some fine fayre to all.

Delightful menus are being currently being designed and written, featuring some of the very best Irish, local produce and sourced from sustainable resources. Chefs are busy organising their buying schedules, food storage and organising the kitchens. The experienced catering management team are all in place setting up staffing rotas and creating training schedules for the now, upwards of 240 staff who will be working with JC Catering throughout the event.

Luxury marquees are now all in place are being fitted out with comfortable seating, tables and bar facilities. The Tapas Restaurant, Sit ’n’ Sip Café, and also the imposing PING pavilion are all looking excellent and will be offering some of the best food and drink available at the event. The many concessions catering outlets are also all in place and are now being set up at the many locations dotted around the 500 acre venue.

Barbara Muldoon, John Coughlan Catering’s Operations Director says “We are all looking forward to this event and recognise the importance of delivering the highest standards of food and service to all the visiting guests”. “We have been working on the preparations for The 2011 Solheim Cup from early this year and to see all the planning and hard work take shape is very rewarding”.

With the high standards of event organisation and the forever changing picture at Killeen Castle the visitors to this exceptional event will be in for a real treat in every sense…
