Cocktail/Beverage Choice 

Our favourite cocktail on the menu this year is one we’ve created especially for our guests:
Track side – Gin, a squeeze of fresh lime, soda and mint.
We always opt for good quality sparkling / champagne. Drinking cheap bubbles all day will not do the food justice, but will make for incredibly sore heads the next day!

Favourite dishes on the menu

Jamón ibérico, medjool date, smoked almond, blue cheese whip.
These little canapés don’t look like much but they are honestly the most delicious salty, sweet mouthfuls!

Some tips for track side catering

– Keep in mind that your guests will likely be dressed in their gorgeous designer dresses and suits, make sure the menu doesn’t include anything that is likely to spill & stain – avoid heavy sauces, drippy dressings, rich desserts etc.
– Hydration – guests won’t always ask for water, so it’s important to circulate still or sparkling water regularly to ensure everyone gets the best out of their day!
– Remember to always have a weather contingency basket – sunscreen, umbrellas, ponchos, insect repellent – these can save the day!
– Race days are always a long event, be sure to allow for adequate seating space for your guests to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.
