Scarlet Chilli. Hot Sauce From Dublin
The Scarlet Chilli Co. wanted to make something our ancestors would dig, an elixir so pure that it would sing in your mouth, and not blow your head off, just hot enough to leave your taste buds in the right place, so you could also enjoy the food you were eating.
We spoke to Organic farmers, shop keepers, Chilli heads, steak houses, Vegetarians, and some guy called Jim in California who knew nothing about chillis but was great craic to talk to, you name it we researched it , cooked it , tasted it and then made it better, we scoured some of the finest spices and chillis on the planet that we could find then we added naturally smoked chillis, fresh fruit, fine vinegars and loads of nothing else, cooked it blended it and forced it into a bottle so you could take it home or put it in your hand bag.
What Our Tenants Say
“We launched a delivery only kitchen out of Hour Kitchen in Churchtown. The space was fantastic and Marie Therese was very welcoming, helpful and professional throughout”
Jack Kirwan. Sprout
We began using Hour Kitchen in 2017, and it quickly became like a second home for us. Owners Marie Therese and Liam became like family, always going above and beyond for us. Having a top of the range kitchen available to us 24/7 was a blessing, and we couldn’t have taken Buttercream Dream to where it is today without having this great facility behind us. Look no further than Hour Kitchen for your commercial kitchen needs in Dublin!
Lauren Redmond, Buttercream Dream
Hour Kitchen is a spacious and very well organized commercial kitchen. Management keeps all equipment in top condition, including hoods and ventilation systems, commercial stoves and freezers so we don’t worry about anything but spend our time cooking. Marie is a great business partner, cannot recommend more!
Alper Sen. Saide’s Kitchen
I have been using Hour Kitchen for almost two years and am so happy with Marie Therese and her team. As my business has grown, the kitchen has been able to accommodate my needs. Being a very well equipped facility and HSE approved, Hour Kitchen is a cost efficient and low risk way to start your food business. Hour Kitchen is also a very pleasant space to work, with like-minded business owners willing to offer knowledge and advice – from a distance of course. I couldn’t recommend Hour Kitchen more!
Alice Tevlin. Rua Food
To businesses starting out in the retail sector I absolutely recommend Hour Kitchen. The standards there are simply the highest in the industry. This gorgeous facility gave my business the opportunity to grow at a critical stage, and allowed us to meet the bar that had been raised by our retailers. I learned an immeasurable amount while producing there. I owe so much to Marie Therese and Liam O’Sullivan, and will always be grateful for what was given to me there.
Krissy Gibson. Take The Cake
Hour Kitchen is a great set up, always clean and a great working space- I have never had any issues. Marie Therese is very accommodating of small businesses and frantic time schedules – great to take last minute bookings or find you a replacement slot, goes out of her way to help and advice you when needed. Great kitchen equipment and friendly environment, got to know lots of other businesses while working here making great contacts and friends. 10/10.
Gillian Healy. Gut Instinct
We launched our finish-at-home delivery service in March 2020 and started working from the Hour Kitchen a month later. It is a fantastic facility for any start-up food business, with everything taken care of for you. Marie Therese is always on hand with support and advice, and she has created an outstanding environment for any budding food entrepeneur. I cannot thank her enough.
