Bar Arrangements for 2027

Pay As You Go – We offer a private bar stocked with wines, bottled beers, main line spirits and mixers as standard, whereby guests purchase their drinks via card payment on the day. No further cost to you at booking stage. Please note we are unable to run bar tabs or retain a card behind the bar on the day. (This bar closes 60 minutes after the start of the last race.)

Account – Guests are served without request for payment. Orders are accumulated on the day and an invoice for the consumption (minus the deposit of £60 + VAT per person), will be raised for payment post-event. We require a deposit for each guest to open the account, as an estimated cost. Should the final bill reflect an amount lower than initially paid as the deposit, you will receive a refund for the difference. (This bar closes 60 minutes after the start of the last race.)
