Private Rooms
If you want to make your day at the races really special, one of our private rooms allows you and your guests a comfortable, private facility for the day with your own bar, waiting staff, balcony and dining.
Let us greet you with a glass of champagne and canapes as guests arrive, followed by a seated three-course meal and afternoon tea as the racing unfolds beneath you. Or you might like to choose from one of our exceptional buffet options with occasional seating as your guests mingle.
All rooms are beautifully furnished and set up exclusively for your party, with giant flatscreen TVs showing coverage of the racing so you need not miss a thing even whilst inside. Hospitality badges for each guest allow access to the Premier, Grandstand & Paddock and Course Enclosures, so you can explore the whole racecourse…or stay in the comfort of your room of course!
We can cater for groups of 10 to 150 people and for larger parties, offer the option of a private marquee and lawn overlooking the track.
If you’d like to see the four options, along with our seasonal menus and drinks packages, contact Helen by email or on 01482 867488.
The Attraction Restaurant
Beautifully appointed, The Attraction Restaurant enjoys excellent views of the racecourse and the historic Westwood from its position on the first floor of the Premier Enclosure, and serves a varied à la carte menu as well as a luxury afternoon tea.
For £10 per head, you can reserve a table for the whole meeting. You can also turn up on the day, but please do bear in mind this is on a first-come, first-served basis and you won’t be able to keep the table for the rest of the day. The menu is delicious and changes regularly – view a sample of the menus available here (please be aware prices and menu subject to change.) The restaurant also features signature dishes from our Pipe & Glass partnership; read more below. Please be aware the restaurant is extremely popular and the pre-bookable tables usually sell out well in advance, so make sure you book early.
