Café

The café is within the grounds of the Upper Garden. It is located in the west wing of the castle, beside the gallery. The café serves teas, coffees & soft drinks alongside cakes made by the castle chef. The café is open everyday, 11am - 6pm, during the open season (March to October).

Garden Picnic Baskets


Enjoy a beautifully prepared picnic for two, freshly made in the Castle Kitchen using seasonal ingredients from the gardens. Salads and produce are grown to organic principles by our dedicated garden team, and each picnic includes homemade cakes, apple juice from the orchard, and freshly baked savoury pastries or scones.

We also offer a selection of delicious 9-inch round cakes, available to order in advance and collect from the Gallery Café.

Picnics and cakes are available every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday throughout June, July and August. Orders must be placed at least 48 hours in advance.

Normal admission applies. Book your visit here.

Call us on 058 54061 or email info@lismorecastlearts.ie to order your picnic or cake.

Please note that picnic contents may change depending what is available from the Garden. Our picnics are suitable for vegetarians. All picnics contain allergens including gluten, dairy, egg and nuts. Please contact us for further information about allergens.
