Kildare catering company Lily & Wild announces plans to open new branch

A catering company based in County Kildare has announced its plans to expand its business.

It follows after the business opened a brick-and-mortar branch in Newbridge in April of last year.

In addition, Lily & Wild caters for Naas Racecourse, Punchestown Racecourse and Goff's Bloodstock sales.

Speaking to the Leinster Leader today (July 16) about its upcoming branch, Davina Walsh, the owner and co-director of Lily & Wild, said: "We’re so excited to be opening our third restaurant in early August — this time right here in Kildare town, just down the road from home.

"The refurb is well underway, our management team is in place, and they’re already building a brilliant crew to bring it all to life.

"The support and kind messages we’ve received so far have been genuinely overwhelming."

Ms Walsh also admitted to the Leader that opening a new branch so close to home "definitely feels more personal, and a little more nerve-wracking!"

However, she still maintained that the business is "absolutely thrilled".

She continued: "Kildare has become such a buzzing, vibrant town with an incredible food scene.

"With so many new faces and families settling here, there’s great energy, and we’re proud to be joining the community.

"Like our other restaurants, this one will have the same warm, welcoming vibe — great food, great service, and a team that truly cares.

"The menu will follow our usual style, but with its own twist; each location brings something a little different, giving our chefs the space to reflect the area and really let their creativity shine."

Ms Walsh also said that this next step for Lily & Wild would not be possible without its team members — "Kevin [the company's co-director] and I feel incredibly lucky to have such brilliant people around us."

She concluded: "We can’t wait to open the doors and welcome everyone in."

In addition, Lily & Wild also announced today that it will be attending the Taste of Kildare 2025 festival.
