Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026: What To Eat & Drink

It’s a busy time of year for motorsporting enthusiasts: hot off the heels of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Goodwood Festival of Speed returns this week. Held at the historic Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, the annual event sees an impressive array of both modern and retro cars taking part in the famous hill climb – but there’s plenty to do and see off-track, too. Goodwood boasts its very own farm, which means there’s an abundance of fresh produce available for chefs to whizz up into delicious dishes. Every year, festival goers can choose from a wide variety of dining and drinking options, from farm-to-table lunches to picnic hampers and champagne bars. So what’s on offer in 2026?

You can’t go wrong with lunch at the Bar & Grill restaurant located within The Goodwood Hotel, which serves a seasonal menu using organic produce from Home Farm. With its relaxed surroundings this is ideal for families: visitors can book a three-course lunch between 11.30am and 3.30pm. Enjoy dishes like roast pork loin with apple sauce and lentil wellington, followed by Eton Mess.

Hampers and Picnics

Across the festival there are bench seating areas where you can tuck into pre-ordered feasts curated by British Fine Foods. Picnics need to be pre-ordered, then on the day you can pick them up from the hamper collection point at the Startline Bar near the Supercar Paddocks.
