At Keadeen Hotel, the Champions Table invites you into one of the most storied homes in Irish racing history. This was the former residence of legendary trainer Paddy “Darkie” Prendergast, a name forever synonymous with champions, Classic victories, and racing greatness.
Set against the atmospheric backdrop of the Curragh plains, your evening begins with a refined garden reception. As you mingle, browse a curated mini-museum display showcasing rare racing memorabilia and personal pieces deeply connected to the Prendergast legacy.
From there, you are welcomed to a beautifully styled long table for an immersive six-course tasting menu. Inspired by the rich agricultural landscape of County Kildare and the spirit of the racing world, each course is expertly paired to elevate the evening into a true sensory experience.
Throughout the night, acclaimed racing personalities: former champion jockey & broadcaster Fran Berry and racing broadcaster Kevin O’Ryan host the table. Between courses, they share the stories that don’t make the racecard - the tension before the tapes rise, the characters behind the winners and expert insights into what makes The Curragh one of the world's most revered training grounds and County Kildare the undisputed Thoroughbred County of Ireland.
Every detail of Champions Table has been designed to feel personal, atmospheric and deeply connected to place. From the candlelight stretching the length of the table to the generations of stories carried through the room, feel the quiet magic of dining exactly where racing history was made.
This is Irish racing at its most intimate.
