Goodwood Festival of Speed: 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 2025?
