Fantastic experience: Celebrated my Wife’s 40th birthday at the Racing Centre and I must say the night went very well. The venue is perfect for all ages…including the older family members who loved the comfy leather sofas. Tara and Staff were fantastic throughout the evening, making it a memorable birthday for my Wife. Highly recommended!!!!

Fantastic experience: The venue is very spacious and the staff service is excellent. It’s pricy but it’s worth the money. Our party was a success and an experience that we will never forget. Thank you to Tara who assisted us at the venue.

Positive experience: Great place to have my daughter’s birthday. The only no point was that I had to pay £50 to have my own beers what wasn’t said when we signed the papers also no copy of anything was given. But amazing place and fantastic staff.

Fantastic experience: Called for early lunch with my colleagues (NHS) today and am so glad we chose this little gem of a cafe, it was clean, the staff were very attentive and very friendly the food and coffee was excellent. I ordered an omelette that was cooked perfectly with plenty of fillings, (best omlette ive had) I couldn't fault the food, the service, cleanliness or price which is very reasonable for the portion size. Thank you to all the staff. Definately worth a visit.

Fantastic experience: Newmarket Joggers Our new home is The Racing Centre, so it was only right we held our annual Christmas Party and Awards there. The outfront and backroom management staff are excellent, always so friendly and willing to help . Our group could not fault the food ,it was delicious, the hall well decorated and well presented. The Racing Centre, complete with a gym is a real gem in a struggling town. Visit as soon as you can, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Positive experience: The racing centre is in the middle of Newmarket and has facilities for various activities. It hosts dances, dinners as well as having a gym. It also hosts boxing, kickboxing and other martial arts. It has a small cafe just inside the door. It is useful if a little functional and is not huge, but a nice addition to the town
