Real food. Thoughtfully prepared.
about
Hi, I'm Ciara, the cook and creative behind Cater Culture — a food service rooted in real ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a deep love for sharing good food.I trained at the renowned Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, where I learned to cook with the seasons and let ingredients shine. My approach is also shaped by years of travel, exploring food cultures and flavours that inspire the way I cook and serve today — simple, generous, and full of heart.Now based in Portugal, I offer made-to-order brunch and grazing platters, picnic boxes, and buffet-style catering for private events, holidays, and corporate occasions. I focus exclusively on small-batch catering to ensure every dish receives the care and attention it deserves. I currently serve Cascais, Estoril, Carcavelos, Parede and surrounding areas. Whether it’s a relaxed beach picnic or a special celebration, Cater Culture is all about creating memorable food experiences that are stress-free and easy to enjoy.
