GOURMET RUGBY DINNERS

Join us this autumn for an unforgettable series of dining events at London’s leading game restaurant The Jugged Hare. We're hosting decadent rugby dinners throughout the Rugby World Cup 2023, featuring appearances from legendary rugby personalities, free-flowing drinks, and a truly stunning Iron Age Piglet as the centrepiece of a feasting-style menu expertly paired with wines.

Join other fans and get the inside track from our Rugby Talent on what’s happening on the field in France; as well as some of those stories and memories from their own experiences - on and off the field...

The evenings begin at 5:30 PM with an hour of free-flowing drinks, including draft beer, cider, white, red, or rosé wine, as well as a selection of non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beverages. At 6pm, you'll be invited to take your seats for a delightful dinner and an exclusive Q&A session with our esteemed guests. Then, at 8 PM, settle in to enjoy the game on our gigantic UHD screens.

This is undoubtedly the ultimate way to follow all the action from France . Don't miss out!
