Cheltenham Gold Cup

In 2022 we took on Jim’s Bar – a cosy, pub inside Best Mate’s enclosure.

In 2023 – we worked alongside Jockey Club Catering to operationally deliver all the bars within Best Mates Enclosure

A variety of bar environments – from large scale to small specialist environments.

The event services up to 250,000 people across the 4 days , the races follow a typical format – a high volume hit before the race starts, quietening down whilst the races take place.

The Cheltenham Gold Cup is unique in its size and complexity and is firmly the No 1 race in the calendar.
