The Paddock Restaurant, and seasonal Marquee restaurant, are very popular choices for racegoers looking for a delicious meal, and a base for the day with stunning views.

The Paddock Restaurant is located on the First Floor of the Sussex Stand, offering panoramic views of the parade ring and racetrack, whilst the Marquee Restaurant is alongside the final fence and last furlong, at the heart of the action.

The Paddock and Marquee Restaurants are very popular. We fully recommend that anyone wishing to enjoy a delicious meal with a superlative view of the Racecourse to call ahead and make a reservation.

Our top chefs create special seasonal menus for race-goers to ensure we make the most of the freshest ingredients including locally sourced meats, fruits and vegetables.  We also offer an excellent wine menu with a wide range of styles and vintages.

A welcome drink, three-course meal and a table for the day, is all included in the package price.  Advance booking is usually required.

The Paddock Restaurant is situated on the first floor of the Sussex Stand to which we do not have lift access – if you require assistance in this regard, or have any special dietary requirements, please call the Racecourse office on 01273 890383 or email racing@plumptonracecourse.co.uk.
