Dubai World Cup
Dubai World Cup 2025 & 2026 | Meydan Racecourse, Dubai
Far Turn Terrace | Meydan Racecourse, Dubai
The Dubai World Cup is one of the world’s most prestigious horse racing events, bringing together international visitors, VIPs and hospitality guests for a landmark day on Dubai’s sporting calendar.
Following our hospitality delivery at the 2025 Dubai World Cup, TGP Catering & Hospitality returned for the 2026 edition, delivering an elevated VIP food and beverage experience for approximately 220 guests at the Far Turn Terrace.
Premium race-day hospitality
For 2026, TGP curated a full-day hospitality journey designed to evolve alongside the race-day experience. Beginning with afternoon tea from 1:30 PM, guests enjoyed an elegant selection of sweet and savoury bites, including smoked salmon roulade, sesame chicken phyllo rolls, beef and caramelised onion vol-au-vents, a curated cheese board and handcrafted desserts.
As the afternoon transitioned into evening, the experience developed into an extensive dinner service from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM, bringing together salads, cold and hot appetizers, main courses and interactive culinary stations.
Interactive dining and live stations
Live culinary experiences added an engaging dimension to the VIP hospitality offering. A slow-cooked grass-fed leg of lamb carving station was complemented by a Pasta Cheesy Wheel Station, where linguine was finished inside a Parmesan wheel with optional additions including truffle, mushrooms, chicken and beef bacon. An Oyster Bar provided another premium touchpoint for guests.
The wider dinner menu included herb-crusted chicken, Thai red curry with wild-caught shrimp, grilled portobello mushroom steaks, locally farmed seasonal vegetables and a selection of desserts. A live Eton Mess station added a final interactive element to the evening.
A complete food and beverage experience
Alongside the culinary programme, TGP delivered an extensive beverage experience throughout the afternoon and evening, including wines, spirits, cocktails, mocktails, juices, soft drinks, tea and coffee, with additional premium beverages available through the Far Turn Terrace paid bar.
The 2026 delivery built on TGP’s involvement in the 2025 Dubai World Cup, where the team managed full-day hospitality for approximately 280 VIP guests within the First-Class Lounge. Returning for a second consecutive year demonstrated our ability to continually develop premium race-day hospitality while adapting the experience to a new setting, audience and culinary programme.
