The courses have no reason to charge caterers high rents.Would be better like the levy,charge a % of profits,and make sure EVERYTHING gets registered so no rip-offs.
They fail to see the picture that they are upsetting racegoers,sad state of affairs.RFC should have addressed this issue months ago,but have done zilch.

this story is replicated at 90 % of british racecourses, which is disturbing, yet , i somehow feel the gravy train of a saturday morning shall not even mutter a word on this subject.and on we go, with the reason s for low attendance,hard at work grabbing all they can, after all, its a competitive world.,

A large % of today's racegoers go to drink. They dont say to their mates "lets go to the races and get some pies down our necks" do they?

Didn't Cheltenham try something with food? Higher admission price but free food once you were in?

Not just racecoures guilty, at any Stately Home, Country Park or Concert, it is the same.
My daughter worked for a guy at Harewood House last year. He was charging huge money for cheaply bought produce but Harewood were raking in far more than he was.
He has given up this year due to too many loss making days.

Yesterday I asked at the first floor bar for a glass of tap water and got a pint, with ice and served with a friendly smile. I wouldn't expect the same on a busier day, but if you don't ask (politely), you don't get.

CHELTENHAM did do free food a couple of times but if i remember right it was to celebrate they won race course of the year and it was at least 10 years ago since then, i remember the q's for the free food.

It was when the old stand was there and it rained for most of the day, lovley free burgers and *****

Personally I wouldn't give 6p for a Fosters, talk about sick squid. Rather drink my own urine, the taste and strength would probably compare very well.
