Seasons Restaurant at Southwell

Who it suits

• A special occasion where you want a reserved restaurant table throughout the fixture.
• Visitors who want to watch from inside and still use public areas beside the track.
• Groups choosing between a meal-only package, a welcome drink and window table, or an inclusive bar.

Ticket prices

These are the official brochure’s 2026 per-person starting prices for advance hospitality bookings, not on-the-day admission prices. Sherwood Bistro starts at £49, with a £13 per-person Gold upgrade for a three-course menu and arrival drink. Other selected-date offers include Curry Night at £70 on 24 October 2026 and Tipsy Tapas at £99 on 28 November 2026.

The view

The restaurant is on the first floor inside the Premier Enclosure, beside the Minster Suite. The racecourse says it has views either trackside or over the Parade Ring, with TV monitors around the room. Gold and Platinum packages specify a reserved window table; Silver includes a reserved table but not a guaranteed window position.

Food and drink

Seasons sells several meal levels and selected-date themed packages.

Facilities

Dress code

The racecourse recommends a smarter style in hospitality, such as smart jeans or tailored shorts and a collared shirt for gentlemen. Sporting team shirts and offensive fancy dress are the stated exclusions. Seasons is predominantly indoors but you can go outside to watch racing, so bring suitable outdoor clothing and shoes.

Getting in

Use the hospitality entrance. Tickets arrive by email, normally two weeks before the fixture, or immediately if booked within two weeks; you can show them on a phone. Restaurant packages must be reserved in advance. The racecourse sells general tickets at the gate by card, but does not publish a same-day price for Seasons.

Accessibility

Seasons is on the first floor and Southwell confirms lift access and an accessible toilet there. Accessible parking is in Car Parks A and B, and viewing ramps are by the horse walk, winners enclosure and Parade Ring. Personal assistants receive free admission with supporting proof; the visitor first buys a full-price ticket and claims the assistant badge at the entrance. Ask for table and route details before booking.

Children and families

Children aged 17 and under normally enter free when accompanied by an adult, up to three children per paying adult. Hospitality bookings are meal packages and no standard child Seasons meal price is published. The official booking page invites guests to contact the racecourse to arrange under-18 tickets; ask about meal and seating requirements as well.

Tips

• Choose Silver if you want the meal and a table; Gold guarantees a window table and adds arrival drink and cream tea.
• Compare the 2026 starting prices with selected-date offers such as Curry Night, which has its own menu and rate.
• Tell the team about dietary needs when booking; the brochure notes that allergens are present in the kitchen.
• Use the lift for the first floor and ask the restaurant team for a suitable table if you use a wheelchair.
