Since 1987, Eileen Bergin and her evergrowing team have set standards catering for dinner parties and celebrations while selling premium home-prepared fresh meals that are readyto-go.

All this week they're having a party in each of their six shops across Dublin and will be running cookery demos and sample tastings in store. With chilli roast chicken, poached salmon with cucumber pickle, petit fours and their legendary canapes and cakes on the menu, these gourmet stores should be on your foodie radar. Visit them at Blackrock, Clontarf, Donnybrook, Monkstown, Rathgar and Sandymount and find out how to bag that dinner party prize (www. thebutlerspantry. ie).
