Rugby fans around the world are already looking forward to the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. It is the first time in the event’s history that it will take place outside the traditional heartland of the sport, and the first time it will be held in Asia.

The 6-week tournament will kick off on September 20 and will finish with the final on November 2 in Yokohama Stadium. The fixtures will be played in twelve stadiums around Japan, providing rugby fans.

Japan 2019 will be the ninth Rugby World Cup and we have the perfect guide to have you ready, plus some events kindly sponsored by Heineken for the day…

 

 

 

Rugby Day Nutrition 101

Night Before

Many players and coaches are big supporters of loading up on carbs and protein the night before watching a big game. Lucky for all you, fanatic rugby heads we have

you sorted … dig into our mouth-watering hefty, protein-packed burger with fries… mmm, yummy.

As for hydration, enjoy an ice-cold Heineken to wash it down.

 

Game Day

Hydration is key so make sure upon awakening you head straight to one of our bars showing the matches and grab a juice or coffee while you look over the menu.

 

BREAKFAST, BALLS, AND BANTER

Breakfast

Make sure to consume plenty of protein and carbohydrate-heavy foods to keep you fuelled for the day such as our Irish Breakfast. Which includes everything you will need to be the best supporter on the day.

Pre-Match

This should be a small meal to stock up on top of breakfast and to compliment your beer. Try our special house nachos. They will leave you replenished and ready to hit your support stance.

 

Match- Time

Grab your beer, get in position and COYBIG!

The Pennyhill’s summer grill event went off as a hit yet again. Now in its second year, the event embodies a fresh, exciting summer menu all made on the grill, BBQ style. Head Chef Chris created a variety of eclectic dishes that brought your taste buds to life leaving you wanting more. Drawing inspiration from the Middle East, he created the tandoori marinated grilled Wicklow lamb with red lentil daal which was a bold and exciting combination which complimented each other beautifully. The menu was across 4 days and had customers and staff alike excited.

 

We’re excited to see where Head Chef Chris takes inspiration from next year.

 

If you and your family or friends joined The Pennyhill for The Summer Grill, we would love to hear about your experience https://www.facebook.com/Pennyhill-Lucan-239394756148921/
