ENJOY IT YOUR WAY
Whilst Punchestown is famous for high end hospitality we also specialise in tasty, good value, hassle free options. So dress up or dress down. Enjoy a cool pint and some hot chips or smooth coffee and flaky pastry. It’s your Punchestown.
The Feedroom Café
Located at the top end of the parade ring facing the winner’s enclosure this facility offers a full menu ‘self-service’ style. The hot counter will always have a roast of the day with all the trimmings, delicious fish dish, a pie or bake alongside goujons and fries. Homemade soup with brown bread, hand-cut sandwiches and fresh salads are always on offer. And for afters, fresh traybakes, doughnuts, pastries feature alongside really good house blend barista coffee.
The Hay Café
Ground floor of the main grandstand is where you’ll find our casual Hay Café. Snacks, hot sandwiches, soups, tea, coffee and delicious pastries make this an ideal ‘on the hoof’ (sorry!) option for those looking for something quick and tasty.
The Festival Food Village
Located through the arches in the southern enclosure the food village is home to a selection of great quality mobile food outlets. It’s all about the food van these days! From Mexico to Indian, Italy to the USA, all the crowd pleaser cuisines feature. Our catering suppliers always an eye on vegan, coeliac and vegetarian options. For your convenience there are coffee and snack units throughout the enclosures. As we are always optimistic for a positive forecast the Mr. Whippy ice cream van is a permanent and popular fixture!
Famous Festival Bar Scene
The Sky Bar
This is the social hub of the festival. The craic is mighty. Music each day after racing.
The Loft Bar, Sport & Archive Bars
First floor of the grandstand and overlooks
Bollinger Lounge
The Style Quarter of the event. Located beside the Hunt Stand in the Southern enclosure. The place to see and be seen. A lovely sun trap in the Bollinger Garden if the weather plays ball
The Open Gate Bar
Ground floor of the grandstand opposite The Hay Café.
Richie’s Ringside
As the name suggests this bar is just metres from the parade ring and is a great spot to view runners and keep an eye on the action. Convenient for access to the viewing stands.
Chasers Bar
Open sided and overlooking the final furlong. Between the main and south enclosures. Great location if the weather is right!
Madigans Bar
A regulars favourite with up close access to the horses as it is located along the horse walk on the way to and from the track.
