Enjoyed the racing, dogs looked well cared for during the evening.
The inside seating area was clean as was the bar and food area as far the eye could see.
Good was nice(basic) I had chips with curry sauce and could definitely have shared the portion, and a sausage roll which was large as well.
I'm our group we also had cheesy chips, hot dogs and burgers and no complaints from anyone.
The only issue I had the whole night was the ladies toilets. They did smell (which I believe was a drain issue) but they also needed a good scrub. Probably could do with a refit but no excuses for them to be unclean.
