Tripadvisors tilgang til anmeldelser
Alle Tripadvisor-anmeldelser går igennem et automatisk sporingssystem, før de bliver offentliggjort, for at indsamle oplysninger med henblik på at besvare følgende spørgsmål: hvordan, hvad, hvor og hvornår. Hvis systemet registrerer noget, der potentielt er i modstrid med vores retningslinjer for fællesskabet, offentliggøres anmeldelsen ikke.
Når systemet registrerer et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk afvises, sendes til validering hos anmelderen eller manuelt gennemgås af vores team af indholdsspecialister, der arbejder døgnet rundt for at opretholde kvaliteten af anmeldelserne på vores website.
Vores team kontrollerer alle anmeldelser på vores website, som vores fællesskab mener ikke opfylder vores retningslinjer for fællesskabet.

I've been to Pontefract for years and I will give everyone an honest opinion.

Car parking facilities - they are a joke. Parking is free however, when leaving Pontefract it is a nightmare, there is one road out and 4 car parks merge to this one road and everyone is fighting to get out. Be prepared to be waiting at least 45 minutes to leave. Absolute farce. Parking is on grass which is unkept so when it rains it can be difficult to get your car out safely as it does become muddy. Train station is a short walk away.

Entry fee - fair fee for Grandstand and Paddock. Never experienced the rest of the facilities. Get to stand at the rails or in the Grandstand near the winning post, got entry to the paddock which bang in the heart of Pontefract.

Paddock and Grandstand area - paddock area is small, can get quite crowded during busy meetings but well kept and seating surrounding the paddock. The Grandstand gives everyone great views of the track, needs a refurbish and can become very crowded on the busy meetings.

Drinks and food - the part of the puzzle that really let's Pontefract down, appalling prices. £6.50 a pint of strongbow dark fruits, £2.50 for a can of coke, £4.50 for a tiny chip butty etc etc the prices are absolutely scandalous. A family of four would have to stump up £10 for 4 cans of pop, that's after entry fees and food. It starts to become a very expensive day out based on this. Considering that Pontefract is outdated and needs major refurbishment, these prices are ludicrous to say the least. The pricing needs a major rethink, otherwise they'll see people go to other venues which will be more affordable and cheaper and more value for money. Pontefract races must address the prices or people will stop coming. Even the staff working there said the prices are ridiculous. £4.50 for a chip butty and the bread is not even buttered.

Atmosphere - decent, friendly, would personally avoid evening meetings if you have children.

Overall, Pontefract is a decent day out. Decent racing, cracking views of the course and paddock. However, the parking facilities and the prices are ridiculous so be prepared to spend a few quid if you attend.

Thank you for your response - it’s much appreciated as we are always wanting to improve. We’ve taken on a new car parking team and have had positive feedback since they started. We’ve passed your feedback on the catering to CGC Events who set the pricing. We are very aware of the rising costs for race goers and review pricing throughout the season. We now have the cheapest entry price for beer/lager/wine at any Yorkshire racecourse but will continue to monitor pricing. We have an ongoing programme of refurbishment but take on board your comments and will continue to upgrade facilities. It’s lovely to hear that you enjoyed your day overall despite the issues you faced and hope that you’ll see improvements on your next visit

Visited yesterday, 5th April 2022 with a party of 14 in the Dalby Box to celebrate my husband’s 60th.
Booking was straight forward and handled by very pleasant people. We were allowed to go over the day before to decorate the room.
The buffet was plentiful and tasty, the staff in the box were extremely helpful especially the gentleman who went over and above , finding us a phone charger and a candle - thank you .
Betting was easy with a lovely lady outside the room.
Only small issue was the parking - very muddy resulting in shoes been covered in mud 😢.
All in all a fab day, we will be back 😊.

I attended the last meeting of the season at Pontefract, due to covid I had not been for a while. Trying to park in the Disabled area was the usual stumbling block, bookmakers unloading parked across vacant disabled bays, the parking attendant tried to direct me to the small car park opposite, however I declined the last time I was put in there I had to wait over 1 hour to get out as someone had blocked me in. However the van that was unloading moved and I was able to park. Why they can not use the spaces on the road across from the Disabled is beyond me. Had a meal in the self-service restaurant which was good value for money and was very nice and filling. Disappointing it rained, I would have given 5* the parking let it down.

This racecourse has to be one of the worst in Britain having visited it today I was most disappointed. I should have known by the dirty rails that surrounded the racecourse from the road what I was letting myself in for.
The entrance had a very musty smell to it and the restaurant wasn’t much better.
Anyway once in the park restaurant it was clear that the young waitress wasn’t very confident in her job as she kept repeating herself however I said I was ready for my starter.
Very disappointed there was no choice she just bought over a plate of fish that I am allergic too and that was that so I politely declined and stood in line for my roast.
The chef cut the meat so thin you could almost see through it and the rest wasn’t too bad.
I found the layout very upside down and everything seemed to be in the wrong place getting to watch the race was a challenge in itself from where I was situated and due to all the walking I decided after getting marooned on the wrong side of the winners enclosure to stay put and watch it on the monitors.The waitress’s were over friendly and it was nice for a while but not when you are in the middle of watching your race.
Anyway another one off the tick list but I definitely won’t be returning to a racecourse that badly needs a face lift and a change of venue in my opinion.
I will end with a plus point and say all the staff were very friendly and helpful and probably keep this place going so good on them but personally I won’t be returning again that’s it.
Regards Martin.

Very friendly local track - with people having a good time on a Sunday afternoon - reasonable facilities given covid restrictions. Easy to access from motorway.

Visited Pontefract Races on 28th June for the first time. Our family loved it. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Crowds weren’t excessive so lots of space to move around and see all areas of the racecourse. Got seats around the parade ring and paddock, saw the winning horses and jockeys and could watch the races from anywhere. We chose the watch from the stand right at the finish line. Our kids loved it. Found the prices for food and drinks to be reasonable. The pizzas from the little wood fired oven mobile unit behind the sports bar were amazing!!🍕Kids also enjoyed ice creams. Easy to access the racecourse and parking just beside the main entrance. All in it was a real fun day with the family & we even picked a few winners🏇

Thank you for your review which we are slightly confused by. You wrote your review on the 30th March 2021. Due to Covid restrictions we were unable to welcome any members of the public to the track between October 2019 and May 2021 .Similarly the catering company were unable to provide any concessions vans to serve any food in this period. Please do contact us directly via email and we'd be more than happy to discuss your comment.
