As someone else posted, it depends on what Celts you are talking about 
when you ask what they ate.  Maggie Black's _A Taste Of History_ 
(10,000 Years of Food in Britain) states that the prehistoric British 
ate whale, seal, fish, shellfish, sea birds (including geese and 
ducks), game animals such as deer, wild pig, elk, wild ox, bear, 
beaver.  Around 3,500 came sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, all of which 
were eaten as well as used for other products such as milk, wool, etc.

If you take Celts in Roman and post-Roman Britain they had fish, 
shellfish, deer, boar, hares, wild fowl.  The Romans introduced 
"delicate birds" such as pheasants, peacocks, and guinea fowl.  Pigeons 
were eaten.  Cattle were exported to the continent before the Romans 
arrived.  The book mentions veal and beef with sauces, ham and bacon, 
much mutton, and goats.  There is some evidence horse meat was eaten, 
at least in sausages.  The author mentions domestic fowl for Romans.

You might want to investigate Celtic archeological studies where the 
bones have been investigated.
