May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you.


How to get your restaurant ready for St Patrick’s Day! It’s the first thing people expect when they walk through the doors of a restaurant or pub on St. Patrick’s Day. Green banners, green hats, shamrocks, green food and drinks - it’s gotta be green! If there’s one day where excessive decor can meet tacky and be accepted, it’s March 17th! Going even further with staff wearing their share of green or Irish apparel can help ensure that your customers know this is a place to have fun and indulge!

What’s on the menu? And of course, every good celebration needs an even better menu! Take time to create a specialized St Patrick’s Day menu - breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers and drinks are all on deck for this fun holiday! Remember that many people like to start their festivities as early as possible, so consider opening early on St Patrick’s Day to get that edge over your competitors. You’ll find some great options for menu ideas in this publication.

Staff Preparation St Patrick’s Day can come with challenges of course, so it’s a smart idea to have a preMarch 17th staff meeting with your employees to go over what the day will look like, how it will be staffed and how best to engage your customers throughout the day. Ensure they know the special menu, are ready to upsell on appetizers and drinks, and any type of promotions you’re running. Also remember your SMART Serve training for St Patrick’s Day as the green beer and cocktails flow.

Can you do a jig? Don’t forget the tunes! There’s no better way to get the party and atmosphere rolling than with some great Irish music. From folk music to jigs and even U2 rock music, be sure to keep the music going all day long!

Have fun! Of course, have fun with the day and your customers!


APPETIZERS St Patrick's Day, the most popular meal is corned beef and cabbage—often accompanied by a green beer or two. The boiled dinner and its liquid accompaniment dominate the menu of Irish bars and restaurants up and down the country on March 17

St. Patrick’s Day Corned Beef & Champ Spring Roll Looking for some Irish finger food for your St. Patrick's Day menu? This appetizer is a brilliant twist on the traditional Irish dinner recipe. 5494673 - LESTERS - BEEF BRISKET CORNED COOKED 2 PIECES 7230986 - SYSCO IMPERIAL - POTATO MASHED RED SKIN GARLIC 7440627 - TYJ - SPRING ROLL WRAPPER 5435213 - SYSCO IMPERIAL - SPREAD GARLIC ROASTED AIOLI & DIP 7350788 - IMPERIAL FRESH - ONION GREEN ICELESS 7210857 - OMNISHA - POWDER CORNSTARCH

“THE BEST WAY TO SEAL YOUR SPRING ROLLS IS BY USING A SLURRY OF CORNSTARCH AND HOT WATER. I HAVE TRIED EGG WASH, BUT IT TENDS TO “STAIN” THE SPRING ROLL, CREATING DARK SPOTS THAT BECOME MORE OBVIOUS AFTER FRYING. A CORNSTARCH AND WATER MIXTURE IS BEST FOR GETTING A CLEAN, EVEN GOLDEN BROWN.” CHEF KYLE BRANDT

“Cottage pie is a comfort food and great for quick service when needing to feed hungry diners that have been enjoying a few pints. There are many meat products that can be used to help save some labour while packing in the flavour and a simple twist of topping this traditional dish with sweet potato will make it memorable but still approachable. If you’re featuring a beer for the holiday it can also be fun to incorporate that into the sauce!”
