The Wright Group is delighted to announce the opening of it’s latest café, the Castle Café. The Castle Café has recently opened its doors on the ground level of the Kilkenny Design Centre. Positioned in the heart of Kilkenny, adjacent to the iconic Kilkenny Castle, this café aims to become a regular spot for both locals and tourists, offering an array of handcrafted dishes, quality coffee, pastries, and more.
Nestled within the Kilkenny Design Centre and neighbouring the historic Kilkenny Castle guests can enjoy refreshments against the backdrop of one of Ireland’s most celebrated landmarks.
From freshly brewed coffee to sandwiches made with locally sourced ingredients, and irresistible desserts, the Castle Café ensures that every visit is memorable. Boasting seating for 30 indoors and additional outdoor seating at the back of the center, it serves not only as a dining destination but also as a vibrant community gathering spot in Kilkenny.
Furthermore, the Castle Café is dedicated to supporting local artisans and producers, featuring a retail section showcasing a variety of locally sourced products, including preserves, honey, chocolate, coffee, and more.
Castle Café Manager and Kilkenny native Emmet Lanigan commented: “It’s great to open this cafe downstairs called the Castle Café so it can serve locals and tourists alike as they visit the Castle and grounds or just browse in the Kilkenny Design Centre. James Dewberry, our new chef, has made a big impact on the food offering since he joined. His scones are the most sought-after item in the café.”
The Castle Café is part of The Wright Group. The Wright Group own and operate a collection of award-winning restaurants, bars, cafes and food halls in over 20 locations nationwide.
