Williams Refrigeration - The Curragh

Legendary Irish racecourse completes massive refurbishment with comprehensive selection of Williams Refrigeration products.

The Curragh occupies a 5000 acre plain near the town of Newbridge in County Kildare, Ireland. Derived from “Cuirreach”, or place of the running horse, it has been associated with horse racing for centuries. It is home to one of Ireland’s most important racecourses, and one of the major flat racing courses in the world.

Catering is a hugely important part of the operation at the Curragh. Fergal Nugent, the Curragh’s head chef, explains. “We have to be able to cater to groups of all sizes, and making sure we had the right refrigeration equipment to handle all our needs here was vital.”


A vast array of Williams equipment was required to meet the Curragh’s requirements. This covers every step of the catering workflow, from bulk storage modular coldrooms to storage refrigerators, blast chillers and prep tables as well as bar fridges and wine coolers. “We were looking for a single manufacturer for all bulk storage rooms and plant,” says Gillott. “Williams were able to offer a full range of products to meet our very high specifications.”

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
