The Firth Restaurant at Fakenham

Who it suits

• Racegoers who want a three-course lunch and a reserved restaurant table for the full meeting.
• Visitors who want a broad view of the track from an indoor space with an outside balcony.
• Groups celebrating together, with a restaurant that can seat between 60 and 100 guests depending on room layout.

Ticket prices

The 16 October 2026 event page lists £85 without a badge or £103.50 with a Day Member badge. The general restaurant page lists £108.50 with badges, so confirm the exact fixture price before booking; the Firth Restaurant is full for the upcoming opener.

Where your ticket takes you

• The Firth Restaurant on the first floor of the Prince of Wales Stand.
• A reserved restaurant table for the race day and a three-course lunch package.
• A first-floor balcony overlooking the course, with cover for standing outside.
• Day Member access if you select the package that includes a badge; without that option, a separate Day Member ticket is required to enter the restaurant.

Not included

• Day Member admission in the £85 restaurant-only package; choose the badge-inclusive package or buy a separate Day Member ticket.
• Afternoon tea unless you add it to the three-course lunch for £18 per person.
• A guaranteed open table without booking; the restaurant is a reserved and pre-booked experience.

The view

The Firth Restaurant occupies the first floor of the Prince of Wales Stand and looks across the entire racecourse. A balcony lets diners stand outside under cover and follow the atmosphere from above. The price covers a table for the whole raceday, so you can leave for a race and return. The racecourse does not say that each table has an unobstructed view, so ask for seating details if that matters to you.

Food and drink

The Firth booking is centred on a three-course lunch, with afternoon tea offered as an add-on.

Facilities

Dress code

Fakenham asks racegoers to dress for the weather and has no formal public dress code. For restaurant hospitality, smart casual clothing is a practical choice. The balcony is outside even though it is covered, and the course is exposed, so bring a coat and shoes suitable for standing outdoors.

Getting in

Book the Firth Restaurant through the relevant race date and select whether your booking includes Day Member badges. The Firth requires Day Member access; the £85 option excludes the badge. E-ticket holders are advised to use Pudding Norton, NR21 7NA. Keep each ticket ready for scanning at the relevant gate. Online sales close at 8am on the morning of racing; the upcoming 16 October 2026 Firth listing is marked full.

Accessibility

The restaurant is on the first floor of the Prince of Wales Stand. Fakenham says accessible parking and viewing are available and describes disabled access and facilities in its buildings, but the restaurant page does not explain the lift or step-free route to the room. Confirm access directly with the office. A qualifying guest can apply for a complimentary personal assistant ticket matching a purchased standard admission ticket; submit evidence and booking reference before the event.

Children and families

Children under 18 receive free racecourse entry with a responsible adult, but a restaurant lunch is a separate paid package. The Firth page does not list a child meal price. Ask the racecourse whether a child can have a reduced menu price and whether their admission badge is included in the booking.

Tips

• Check the selected package carefully: £85 is without a Day Member badge, and the 16 October fixture page lists £103.50 with one.
• The general restaurant page shows a different badge-inclusive figure of £108.50, so confirm the price for the meeting you select.
• Book well ahead; the upcoming season opener listing already reports the Firth as full.
• Add afternoon tea at booking if wanted; the £18 extra is available only with lunch.
