The Bishop’s Buttery

Hidden beneath the graceful façade of Cashel Palace, The Bishop’s Buttery is one of Ireland’s most atmospheric dining rooms. Vaulted stone, original flagstones and a glowing central fireplace recall the room’s original life as the Palace kitchen, where food was prepared for archbishops, visiting nobility and honoured guests.

Today, that sense of occasion remains. The room is intimate, dramatic and quietly theatrical - a setting made for long dinners, thoughtful wines and memorable celebrations.

Wine is central to the experience at The Bishop’s Buttery. Under the guidance of Head Sommelier Farrah Scanlan, the wine programme brings together classic regions, small producers, rare bottles and pairings designed to enhance the rhythm of each course.

Guests may choose from a selection of curated wine pairings or arrange a private wine tasting by appointment. Tastings can be designed around Old World and New World comparisons, preferred varietals, particular regions or a bespoke theme chosen for the occasion.

The Bishop’s Buttery is rooted in its surroundings. Tipperary’s rolling pastures, orchards, farms and artisan producers shape the menus throughout the year, allowing each season to set the rhythm of the kitchen.

Expect precise modern Irish cooking with classical foundations, contemporary flair and a strong sense of place. Dishes may feature Irish seafood, heritage meats, garden vegetables, orchard fruit, Irish dairy and carefully sourced local ingredients, each prepared with clarity, balance and purpose.

This is fine dining without losing the warmth of Irish hospitality: polished, personal and deeply connected to the land.

For guests seeking a more immersive experience, the Chef’s Table offers a behind-the-scenes connection to the kitchen. Each course is introduced with the story of its ingredients, preparation and inspiration, with wines selected to complement the journey.

Private dining is available for intimate celebrations, corporate dinners and special occasions. Bespoke menus, wine selections and room styling can be arranged by the team.
