What does your website review about racecourses?

We review racecourses across the UK and beyond, focusing on the racegoer experience. Our reviews cover five main categories — Food, Guinness, Track View, Parade Ring, Runners & Riders, and Atmosphere — so fans can find the best venues for a great day out at the races.

How do you rate or score each racecourse?

Each racecourse is rated across our five review categories. We consider quality of food and drink, viewing angles, parade ring access, race presentation, and overall atmosphere. Every review includes our honest impressions and a summary score for easy comparison.

Which racecourses offer the best food and drink?

Several UK racecourses stand out for their hospitality. Our reviews highlight venues with top-quality food stalls, dining rooms, and the best Guinness on course. Check our “Best Food” and “Best Guinness” tags to see the current leaders.

What’s the best racecourse for first-time visitors?

If you’re new to racing, we recommend courses that offer great views, friendly staff, and clear access to the parade ring. Our “First-Time Visitors” tag highlights beginner-friendly courses where you can easily follow the action.

Yes! We welcome guest reviews and feedback from fellow racegoers. If you’d like to share your experience, get in touch via Instagram or emailing thepaddockpreview@gmail.com — your insights could feature in a future article.
