Wanderers F.C.

Venue History

Founded in 1870, Wanderers F.C. is one of Ireland’s oldest rugby clubs and was one of the founding members of the Irish Rugby Football Union.

The club has a proud place in Irish rugby history and maintains facilities in Dublin 4 at Lansdowne Road and Merrion Road.

Today, Wanderers combines its sporting heritage with a strong club and community atmosphere, making it a natural setting for rugby hospitality, club events, business gatherings and private functions.

Events at Wanderers F.C.

The venue is particularly suited to relaxed events where guests can enjoy the character and atmosphere of a traditional Dublin rugby club.

This can include matchday hospitality, club dinners, business lunches, networking events, sponsor gatherings, team events, family celebrations and informal social occasions.

Event format and capacity can be tailored according to the specific club space being used.

Catering by With Taste

With Taste can provide catering ranging from straightforward matchday food to fully managed corporate and private hospitality.

For rugby and club occasions, options may include breakfast rolls and brunch, hot lunch dishes, BBQ menus, buffet food, sandwiches, salads, grazing food and post-match service.

For business and private events, we can develop more structured menus including arrival refreshments, working lunches, canapé receptions, bowl food, buffets and seated dining where the event format allows.

Menus can be adapted around the group, timing and budget, while dietary requirements are planned into the service from the outset.

Why With Taste at Wanderers

The best club hospitality should feel generous, relaxed and well organised.

Our team understands the importance of matching the food to the occasion rather than overcomplicating the experience. For matchdays and informal gatherings, service can be fast and sociable. For business or private functions, the same space can be supported by a more polished event format.

With Taste manages the food, staffing, timing and operational detail so that the organiser can concentrate on the guests.
