Hospitality-Testimonials

Here are just a few of the kind words people have had to say about our facilities and the exemplary standard of service they received at Sandown Park.

What a fantastic day out!  A very special day to celebrate a very special occasion. We were considering going to a different racecourse as we had been there many times before....but this was so much better in so many ways.  Wasn't so crowded, the box was right on the finishing line, the food was delicious, the service was excellent and we didn't have to walk far for anything.
Mike Ford - Imperial Box - 7th March 2009

I was lucky enough to take a group of friends to celebrate my 60th birthday in the Gold Cup Reception Suite.  We started our day with a warm Pimms Reception and this went down very well. The staff were extremely efficient and friendly, service was very good and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The low point of the day was when I realised I had ripped up one of my winning tickets and had to ask someone from the Tote to help me piece it back together again! Everyone in my party seemed to have a great time and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it as a great day out!
Jane de Brule - Gold Cup Suite - 7th March 2009

Just to say what a great day Saturday was. It really could not have gone better. The room looked fab, as did the flowers, tables fantastic with a superb view over Sandown and even the weather was kind. 
The presentation was well organized, was well attended and we had an attentive audience. Timings worked very well.
I had a great time, I thought it was terrific fun. I would do the day again, it was a superb venue and my thanks go to you and your staff for a brilliant day.
Teldis - Park View Suite - 25th April 2009

We had a great day at Sandown on Saturday. Our table was excellent, along with the service and meal. Couldn't fault any of it. We will be booking the same event next year.
Mark Cooper - Gold Cup Suite - 25th April 2009

It was our daughter's 40th birthday and everything lived up to our hopes and expectations. We have been to Sandown several times before but not to one of your suites. Our treatment there helped to make the day very special......the room, the food, the wonderful staff, including the perepetetic Tote ladies. Our 3-year old god son was made very welcome by the staff and spoiled with extra treats. We were table 6 and our waiting staff were well-trained and knew how to look after us. A great day.
Peter Rennie - Gold Cup Suite - 25th April 2009

We had an amazing day thank you so much!  It was really good fun; the box and the food were fantastic and the boys (Tom and Gavin) made the day really special so a big thank you to them as well. I would thoroughly recommend a day out at Sandown as a wonderful hen do venue!
Rebecca Power - Grandstand Box - 25th April 2009

A big thank you for great organisation of our evening at Sandown. Everything ran very well and I have to say that the booking was managed fantastically from start to finish.
Consolidated Property - Imperial Box - 21st May 2009

Great place for my family. Especially the kids. Very enjoyable time.
Julian Bird - Eclipse Box - 4th July 2009

The lawyers at DWS were very impressed and the day ran smoothly and they had a very enjoyable time. Their only concern was losing money on the horses! 
Denton Wilde Sapte - Eclipse Box - 3rd July 2009

There is no better place to have a stag do. Great food, great drink and some great racing. I wish I could have another stag day. 
Ashton Miles - Tingle Creek - 4th July 2009

A reunion of 30 old school friends (with partners) most of whom you haven't seen for almost 40 years, could be seen as an occasion fraught with many pitfalls! Choosing the right kind of event that would have universal appeal, give people the chance to mingle informally, but also provide a sense of "special occasion" was a big ask.
The idea of a box at Sandown seemed a great solution and the unanimous feeling of those involved was that it was an excellent choice. Many of us had never been racing before and approached the event with some apprehension, but again, any reservations proved groundless and everyone had a marvellous time. The mysteries of betting and the whole horse racing scene were made simple with our own TV and betting window around the corner. The chance to wander at will, circulate and mix, and resurrect old frienships was perfect. Good food and drink and a sense of style and occasion that was appreciated by all. As a group we cannot recommend a day at the races in your own box more highly. We all had a marvellous time!
Simon Clark Party - Eclipse Pavilion Box - 13th June 2009

We had a fantastic day/night all the staff were friendly and the service we received was excellent, a great day was had by us all.
The Neon Sign Store - Solario Suite (Packages) - 22nd July 2009

We enjoyed the whole evening immensely. We arrived at 1800hrs and had a glass of bucks fizz and our starter on our table by 1803hrs!! This level of service was maintained throughout which made for a great evening out. The main course was served piping hot and full of flavour. The convenience of table gambling and a perfect view of the band on stage capped a wonderful evening. Even the bouncers were polite.
Mr and Mrs DJ MacLennan, Esher Resident - Solario Suite (Packages) - 22nd July 2009

The Bendigo suite offers exceptional facilities for racegoers. The Sandown staff ensured that all our guests enjoyed a truly memorable evening.
Aon Limited - Bendigo Suite - 22nd July 2009

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the event and commented the professional conduct of all the staff in our suite! Thank you very much and look forward to dealing with you in the near future!
Air Charter Service Plc - Bendigo Suite - 29th July 2009

We attended an evening's racing at Sandown Park with live music afterwards. The venue was superb with a great view of the racecourse and finishing line. The service, facilities and catering were all excellent, a great evening out with a few wins too!
BOC Gases - Imperial Box - 29th July 2009

From the first point of contact to the final race every single step was managed well to the overall experience surpassing everyone's expectation. Organising an event for 20 people from across Europe ensuring they all have a great experience is never easy BUT it was certainly achieved at Sandown. Providing timely information, being flexible on options, having information collated for accommodation and being able to recommend Colin Brown to support the evening entertainment - he was superb!! The quality of the food and hospitality has been second to none in recent times - (This is not a boast from me but I have experienced many VIP / Special events in recent years).  Sandown will be my first choice of venues for any future event.
Mars Horsecare - Eclipse Box - 12th August 2009

Just wanted to say a big thanks to the team for all your help leading up to and during last weeks event.  We have had some fantastic feedback and felt that from a business point of view it was a success - and everyone had a lot of fun to boot.  All the staff we encountered were extremely friendly, helpful and informative and really added to the day - everybody enjoyed the meal as well and we had some nice comments about that too.
