What We Do at Secret Recipes

Welcome to Secret Recipes, one of Ireland’s leading producers of premium prepared meals, soups, salads and side dishes for both retail and food service.

Based in Cork, in the heart of Munster’s artisan food region, we combine Irish food craftsmanship with largescale production to deliver meals trusted across Ireland, the UK and mainland Europe.

For more than a decade, we have supplied contract caterers, schools, healthcare providers, hotels, coffee shops, staff restaurants, wholesalers and distributors with food that is consistent, reliable and full of flavour.

Every product we make reflects our core values: quality ingredients, smallbatch cooking, food safety, sustainability and innovation.

A Multi Award Winning Irish Food Producer

Secret Recipes is recognised as one of Ireland’s most decorated prepared meal producers.

Our chefs and development team have earned major national and international awards, including:

• 12 Blas na hEireann Irish Food Awards.
• Best Catering Provider in Ireland – Irish Facilities Awards

• 5 Singapore Food Awards.

These awards reflect the quality, consistency and creativity behind our meals.

From classic European dishes to modern Asian streetfood recipes, our products are celebrated for their flavour, authenticity and performance in busy kitchens.

When we say our meals are premium, it’s not just our opinion — independent award bodies across the world agree.

We collaborate only on sustainable, long-term partnerships, ensuring quality, consistency and commercial success for both sides.

BRC AA Certification & Food Safety You Can Trust

Food safety is at the heart of everything we do. Our Cork facility operates to BRC AA Grade, the highest global standard for food manufacturing. This includes:

• Full ingredient traceability
• Allergen control
• Temperature monitoring
• Hygiene and segregation systems
• Staff training and continuous auditing

Every claim we make is backed by independent third-party laboratory testing, ensuring transparency and compliance with Irish, UK and EU regulations.

Every meal is checked by a trained human before leaving our kitchen — a level of care that sets us apart from large-scale factories.

Sustainability & Origin Green Commitment

We follow the principles of Bord Bia’s Origin Green programme, the world’s only independently audited national sustainability scheme. Our sustainability commitments include:

• Recyclable packaging
• Responsible sourcing
• Reduced food waste
• Energy-efficient production
• Ethical supplier partnerships

We believe premium food should also be responsible food — and we work every day to reduce our environmental impact.

European & Asian-Inspired Meals Made With Care

Our European-style meals are crafted using locally sourced Irish ingredients, rich stocks and traditional cooking methods. From lasagnes and casseroles to pies and roasts, these dishes deliver comfort, flavour and consistency.

Our Asian and street-food meals are inspired by global food trends, particularly those emerging from the UK market. Dishes like our Panang Chicken Curry, winner of multiple national awards, showcase authentic flavours and restaurant-quality taste.
