  • Case Study: How Mint Catering Fuels Leinster Rugby with Performance-Focused Meals

When you’re working with elite athletes, nutrition isn’t a “nice to have”, it’s a critical part of
performance. That’s why Leinster Rugby, one of Ireland’s top professional teams, partners
with Mint Catering to deliver meals that are as focused and intentional as their training
schedule.


We provide Leinster Rugby with tailored catering solutions designed to support recovery,
endurance, and peak performance, both in-season and during training blocks.

Built for Performance: What We Deliver

Our team works closely with Leinster’s in-house nutritionist to ensure every meal is built to meet the players’ nutritional needs. From macro-balanced breakfast burritos to proteinpacked salads and recovery-friendly reheat meals, each delivery is curated for function and
flavour.

Our Leinster Catering Includes:


• Fresh breakfast and lunch options for training days
• Pre-match and post-match meals
• High-protein reheat meals for convenience and recovery
• Custom-built menus in consultation with Leinster’s nutrition team
• Delivery directly to the Leinster High Performance Centre in UCD

Behind the Scenes: How It Works

Each meal is freshly prepared by our dedicated kitchen team and delivered on-site by our
Mint Catering crew, ensuring optimal quality and temperature.
Our setup is fast, clean, and discreet which allows players and coaching staff to focus on
training while we handle everything behind the scenes. Packaging is tailored for easy
distribution, especially when meals need to be eaten on the go or off-site.

Why Leinster Trusts Mint

We’re not just another catering company. We understand the demands of high-performance sport and we match that energy in the kitchen.


Our meals aren’t just designed to fill a plate — they’re built to support:


• Muscle recovery
• Energy replenishment
• Anti-inflammatory benefits
• Clean, balanced fuelling with no compromise on taste
