Relax and unwind in Johnstown Castle Estate’s welcoming Peacock Café and shop in our modern Visitor Centre after exploring the castle, museum, and ornamental gardens.
The spacious Peacock Cafe is the perfect place to relax and refresh yourself with friends and family after all your Johnstown Castle Estate, Museum & Gardens adventures! We serve a variety of food and drink, including sandwiches, salads, wraps, and delicious tray bakes, and we strive to make the most of the best seasonal ingredients produced by Wexford’s legendary local food producers.
So, why not visit to get a taste of Wexford while you overlook the Upper Lake and its lovely small waterfall?
Please note that we stop serving in the café 30 minutes before closing (see our seasonal opening times). While the Peacock Café easily seats 120 visitors, we advise pre-booking for groups.
