Belle Vue Dog Track question.

Has anyone ever had a meal in the restaurant at Belle Vue on a race night?


Im stuck for what to get the other half for Xmas and know he would like to go. We went once before and he loved it (but I wasn't so keen). However, we were in the 'stands' side and the food there was fast food and I found the place a bit grubby.


They advertise a package - entrance, meal, reserved table. programme, a runner to put your bets on etc-. Its £30 a head but doesn't give any details of what the food menu is.


Im just wondering about getting 2 tickets and putting a bit of betting money in a card for him but Im just a bit dubious about the restaurant.


Any one been that give me an opinion, I would be grateful, thanks.

    Thank you so much for the reply. That's pretty much what I feared. As I said, we went once about 4 years ago and I wasn't impressed at all but he enjoyed the night. I though maybe it was a nicer experience in the restaurant.


    I shall think of something else, your advice is much appreciated.

    If he likes dog racing take him to horse racing. You're close to several decent racecourses e.g. York, Chester.

    Get two tickets for the county stand at york (between £20-£30 each). Get dressed up and enjoy yourself.

    It's very nice, a much better crowd and in the county stand everyone tends to be a better class of clientele.


    Always a good day out.

    Thanks for the suggestion. We do go to the races now and then as we live near Haydock racecourse.
