The Team Behind The Menu

As Executive Head Chef at Lily & Wild, Conor O’Hanlon brings experience, creativity, and a deep passion for Irish food to the heart of our culinary offering. With a strong focus on seasonality, provenance, and exceptional local produce, he leads our kitchen team in creating menus that are refined, generous and full of flavour.

Conor’s approach is centred on showcasing the very best ingredients from trusted Irish farmers, growers, and artisan producers, combining thoughtful technique with a contemporary approach to both classic and modern dishes. From intimate private dining and weddings to large-scale events and prestigious state occasions, he oversees each menu with a commitment to quality, consistency, and attention to detail.

Working alongside Conor is an experienced senior culinary team, including Senior Chef Marie Feeney, Head Chef Padraig Keane and Head Banqueting Chef Ciaran Masterson. Together, they bring a wealth of skill, creativity, and operational experience to Lily & Wild, helping to deliver consistently high standards across every service and event.

History & Heritage

Lily & Wild grew from a simple idea, that was to do events differently. Our story began with Event Waiter, where we set out to raise the standard for event staffing. With a focus on professionalism, energy, and attention to detail, we quickly became known for delivering teams clients could truly rely on.

As our experience deepened, so did our ambition. We brought together our knowledge, creativity, and passion for hospitality to evolve into Lily & Wild—a full-service catering company dedicated to creating exceptional, memorable events from start to finish.

While we’ve grown, our roots in staffing remain at the heart of everything we do. Building on the strong foundation of Event Waiter, we continue to invest in outstanding people, carefully selecting and training a team that embodies the quality and care we’re known for.
