I had a great time at Newbury Racecourse! The atmosphere was lively and there was plenty to do, from exploring the various betting stands to watching the races on the giant screen, which gave everyone a great view. It was well-organized and really enjoyable overall. The only downside was the food-it was tasty, but definitely on the pricey side. Still, a fantastic day out and worth the visit!

I know Newbury racecourse well. There was a bumper turnout for the Greenham meeting yesterday (Saturday the 12th of April 2025). Management have been promoting the meeting more than usual in targeting people from the locality. It added to the atmosphere, and the profits of the course. It did make it a bit tight on the stands and around the pre-parade paddock (I prefer the old one!) but well done. Newbury should be bold and have a mixed flat/jump meeting in the spring and autumn. They used to have a three day autumn mixed meeting, flat on Thursday, Jumps on Friday and both codes on the Saturday. I keep being told that it’s not popular, that’s why mixed meetings, barring the Haydock Swinton Hurdle meeting, have stopped. The mixed meetings were poorly promoted and the narration over the tannoy on the day does little to inspire and stoke up the intrigue of the crowd at Haydock, unlike the once mixed Whitbread Gold Cup meeting at Sandown… they even had a jump vs flat jockey race. A flat and jump meeting would both attract and be educational for a bumper weekend/family crowd, many new to racing. Newbury is the perfect venue for such a venture.

We are members of Newbury Racecourse and attend regularly, we dine in the Hennessy and I can honestly say it is now not value for money the staff are lovely, although the menu is very limited, the parking for members is now reduced to a car park and not the grass which members could park on and where we have parked for 30+ years. The commentary in the Hennessy Restaurant is non existent today and has been pretty poor on other meetings - it is not difficult to get it right. It’s such a shame that whoever is in control seems to be getting it so wrong. It’s such a shame !!

It's a beautiful racecourse. Lunch for owners was good but not excellent. Hotter food would have been preferable. I had to approach the staff to ask for items for our table. They were lovely and got what was required, but them approaching the table to check would have been preferable. Clearing tables littered with glasses was initially slow. Sorry to be picky, but I'm being honest about our experience. Here,I go again. It would have been a valued touch to offer afternoon tea as many racecourses do. Many of us had travelled between two to four hours to get there and had a long journey home. We didn't leave until 6 pm. So few sandwiches, cake, and scones that sort of thing would have been appreciated. We have been to Newbury a few times and will continue to return. Thanks to everyone for their efforts and hard work it is appreciated.

The usual queues for food and beer. Inexperienced staff for the craft beer festival and a general lack of organisation. The bar manager didn't have a list of beers and tried to tell me that they had many different lagers. All the beers were cask ales. It is great to have local beers, but if the staff are clueless about the offering it's not ideal.

Very impressive as a race course, a few glitches The races have horses and jockeys who both get injured. Well noticed art work for sale in side a warm building and I also noticed hats for sales in a warm building however the charity which supports the injured had to stand out on the cold. Not correct. This charity should have its own space in a building with light and warmth. I am a diabetic I need good quality food, not pre-made sandwiches. Nothing offered.

A good day out but set your limit £££ No giving 5 stars as there's alot of drunken idiots gobbing off from the stands and lots of drunken idiots staggering around pushing women out their way in queues. My wife even looked at me at one point because she though I was going to hit a drunk for pushing my wife out of the way. But that would of ruined the whole day. Not sure if we'd go again because of this.

I went to Newbury Racecourse with some friends for a summer Race Day with a concert afterwards with Sigala. It was my first ever racing event, and I throughly enjoyed the experience (even though I lost all my bets!). The operation is slick, and they are well geared up to serving large numbers. There was over 10,000 visitors on the day we were there, but I didn’t wait more than a few minutes for any food, drink or toilets. The food and drink were priced as expected for an event, but I found that the quality of what I had was very good - the Pimms was great too! The atmosphere was fantastic, and the after event with Sigala was awesome. Overall, the whole day out was great fun, and gives you a good excuse to get a group of friends together to get dressed up!

Two experiences of Newbury: 1. Decent day of racing in Premier hospitality that was unfortunately ruined by inept security and safety stewards, who insisted on 'be seated' rules during the Tom Jones gig, only for them to allow pissheads to completely ignore and spoil it for everyone. Then gave poor attitude when we questioned this. 2. Exceptional experience in the Hennessey which could not be faulted. Simply loved it. Staff, food and racing were all A1. Lovely racecourse overall!

We went on a super Saturday betfair day.... I don't know anything about horse racing but it seemed to be a big deal. There are 2 tiers of entry ticket with the more expensive one giving you access to the finish line paddock. Plenty of bars and food around, pricey but not extortionate. Service was quick, but I don't think the venue was that full. What is good is that the train station is almost part of the race course, so it's less than a minutes walk. We were lucky with weather, so for us it was a good day out.

Thanks to Sky VIP for the free tickets! Really nice course which has its own railway station (Newbury Racecourse). But it's in quite a remote location, so don't get there too early otherwise you will be walking around until opening time. The hotel next to the course (The Lodge) doesn't open to race goers on race days but there is a nice cafe on the other side of the railway bridge through an industrial park about 15 mins walk away.

Went to enjoy the Sunday buffet, service was good, food was tasty but a touch cold for my liking. Atmosphere was acceptable but with only 2 tables occupied felt a touch empty. I'm sure when busy that the atmosphere is better. £20.45 for all you can eat Sunday buffet and a pint of Cobra.

I was in the area for work. Was craving an Indian. Google and this place was the closest. I read the reviews and was happy to order. I arrived to collect my takeaway order at the time given and it wasn't ready. I was happy to wait of course. I paid which was not the amount I calculated on the menu online it was £5.50 more but yet again I paid it as I was expecting a lovely Indian. I waited and waited and waited and waited and the stsff kept going to the kitchen for updates. Something to do with the oil wasn't hot enough for cooking the chips. I waited again and waited and the waitress apologised and I said its no problem you can't rush good food. The food arrived I left got in the car and dashed off. I'm sorry to say the food was cold the curry was warm the chips cold the rice cold. I arrived at my hotel and sat down to watch crafts 2025 final and started to dish up. I ordered chicken tikka curry, pilau rice, chips, onion salads, mint sauce and poppadoms. The tikka curry had no taste it was like it was watered down. I've never had a tikka curry with no spice or taste. As i said the rice was cold. I couldn't eat the chips and the mint sauce wasn't mint it was more yoghurt. The poppadoms were soft and not crisp as should be. Overall very very very dissapointed. I love tikka curry but this wasn't anything like.

Terrible service completely charmless and rude! Food is satisfactory for a stay in hospital but costs as much as a real restaurant not a basic pub with a tent. Basically “The Old Boot” is for old men with older boots and no money to go anywhere nicer! 😉
