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.”
