Racecourse in Focus Racing Post Readers' Award Hamilton Park’s VIP Experience for VIP Customer Rosie Heenan’s nomination for Hamilton Park in the 2015 Racing Post Readers’ Award was a glowing testimonial of a racecourse at the top of its game providing a warm welcome to racegoers. Here, 10 months on, Rosie was back enjoying a VIP raceday at the course as a celebration of the Hamilton Park’s success. “Hamilton Park is my favourite racecourse” explains Rosie. “Everything is so well organised which makes for a relaxed atmosphere. This is helped by the friendly staff who always offer a hearty welcome.” Part of Rosie’s prize for her nomination was a VIP raceday. “We were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Vivien Kyles, the Chief Executive, came over to personally thank us for our nomination which was a lovely touch. The food and champagne were delicious too.” Rosie’s nomination for Hamilton focussed on the excellent team spirit emanating from the staff. “Everyone wants you to have a good time at Hamilton Park, and we certainly do each time we visit. Even the bookies were smiling last week, although perhaps not after my husband and I backed a 20/1 winner!” Of course, the celebrations were felt by the racecourse team too by collecting a coveted Showcase Award at the 2015 ceremony in Ascot. Vivien Kyles commented "We venue, its facilities and the incredible hard work of our staff were thrilled to win the Racing Post Readers' Award. and their dedication to provide visitors with an outstanding race day experience. It was a real honour to be presented "Most importantly for us, this award is voted for by Racing with it and perfected by meeting Rosie when she came to Post readers and our customers and is recognition of our visit us gain last week."

We’ve seen some great initiatives sent to @RCAShowcase so please do keep them coming in. Remember, a #TopSpot is a standalone initiative, large or small, that enriches the racecourse brand and/or raceday experience for customers. Some of our recent favourites include: Chester Selfie Booth A selfie is always a fun part of the day for many groups of people, but how do you get the perfect angle? Simple, use Chester’s Boodles selfie booth! Market Rasen Celebration Food Having a runner in a race is always an exhilarating feeling, even better if your horse manages to bring home a trophy or two. Even better still if it’s at Market Rasen as you’ll be taking home some Ascot Drone Race delicious locally sourced sausages. The Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup is unique in the fact it’s British Racing’s only team event. What better way to promote this than a drone race around the famous racecourse featuring the team colours form the big day!? York Pies Described as the best pork pies in York, local bakery Ged Bell’s are now venturing out to the Knavesmire to supply hungry racegoers with their trademark pies and pastries. Bangor/ChesterBet Bangor and Chester Bet have enhanced the on-course betting experience by offering customers the chance to place a bet via contactless payment, giving people more time to spend enjoying their day rather than stood in queues.

  • Vegetarian-Gluten-Free.Pdf
    We use some of Yorkshire's best local produce to create healthy, wholesome and interesting food at York Racecourse with a Yorkshire twist. York Racecourse Hospitality has been catering at York for over 30 years and have been gaining awards and accolades for our extensive catering offer at York Racecourse from real coffees, delicious food to go, extensive lunch options and gourmet hospitality. We take a huge pride in the fact that much of what we offer is made and cooked on the premises or supplied by local owner / producer suppliers. We cater for vegetarian, nut allergies, soya free, Coeliac food (gluten free) and wheat free. We realise it is important to understand the difference as well as the complexity in producing the various types of allergy sensitive food. We therefore ensure we use separate tongs, toasters and fryers along with the more obvious separate knives and chopping boards. We understand that gluten free food is suitable for a wheat free diet but that wheat free food may not mean it is also gluten free. Vegetarian Food York Racecourse is renowned for its food and the vegetarian dishes created by our expert chefs are no exception - meaning that spending a day at York Racecourse as a vegetarian can be eagerly looked forward to. We are proud to source many of our ingredients locally, meaning that much of our food, especially the cheeses, herbs and salads, have a distinct Yorkshire flavour. Our meals are prepared on site from scratch, giving all our dishes a real home cooked feel. We are proud to make it known that you won’t find any pre-packed vegetables or tins of sauces in any of our kitchens! As part of our welcome to vegetarians, this section is intended to provide some help on exactly where to pick up a delicious meal, and will provide a few examples of the type of dishes on offer.
