Crow’s Nest Restaurant at Redcar

Who it suits

• A couple or group who want a reserved table throughout the day and a three-course lunch without leaving the racecourse.
• First-time visitors who would like to combine a meal, race coverage from the table and access to the wider Grandstand area.
• Racegoers who want private Tote betting and waitress service rather than joining the main bar queues.

Ticket prices

These are the 2026 hospitality prices shown by the racecourse, per person and including VAT. Booking closes at 1pm on the day before racing, subject to availability.

Where your ticket takes you

• The package includes a hospitality badge and admission to Redcar Racecourse.
• A reserved table is yours for the day, with a view of the course and television coverage from your seat.
• Grandstand admission gives access to the public Grandstand and Course Enclosure areas, including the Parade Ring, Winners’ Enclosure and Grandstand steps.
• The restaurant package has private Tote betting and a bar facility; these are part of the restaurant offer.

Not included

• Trackside car parking is optional, not an automatic part of the listed price.
• The package does not make the Petch Stand boxes or their private bar available; those are separate hospitality bookings.

The view

The Crow’s Nest is sold as Redcar’s dine-and-view restaurant. You keep a reserved table for the day, where TV coverage shows the races, and the package page describes a view of the racing action. It is inside the Grandstand Enclosure, near the Parade Ring and Winners’ Enclosure. Between meals and races, hospitality guests can use the general-admission viewing areas included with the badge, including the trackside and tiered grandstand steps.

Food and drink

The package centres on a three-course à-la-carte meal, with optional extras available to add in advance.

Facilities

Dress code

There is no formal dress code at Redcar. The racecourse recommends smart casual clothing for hospitality guests, but says formalwear is not required. Choose comfortable footwear and weather-appropriate layers for time spent in the outdoor viewing areas.

Getting in

Enter through the Grandstand main entrance off Redcar Lane, TS10 2FD. The Crow’s Nest package includes a hospitality badge and admission; the restaurant sits within the Grandstand Enclosure. Book in advance online or through the racecourse office on 01642 484 068. Bookings close at 1pm on the day before the meeting, subject to availability. Tickets are checked and bags may be searched at the entrance.

Accessibility

The racecourse offers a free Digital Access Card and companion-ticket process. Contact its access officer, Amy Fair, at info@redcarracing.co.uk or 01642 484 068 to ask about the restaurant entrance, step-free route, accessible toilet or a specific table requirement; the restaurant page does not describe these features. Reserved Blue Badge spaces are available in the enclosures. The Grandstand and Course have different entrances and postcodes.

Children and families

Children are welcome in the Crow’s Nest and receive a discount based on age, but Redcar does not publish the child package amount. Accompanied under-18s are free for general admission at race meetings; ask the restaurant how this interacts with the meal package before booking children into a table.

Tips

• Reserve early for a Premier Day: the restaurant says it is popular and may sell out, especially on its busiest meetings.
• Choose an adjoining table arrangement if your party is larger than 10; the hospitality page says larger groups can be seated at adjacent tables.
• Add cream tea only for a daytime fixture: it is not available at evening meetings.
• Treat the meal booking deadline as 1pm the day before racing, and include any dietary requests when contacting the restaurant.
