Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum number of guests required for dining events at Epsom Downs Racecourse?

All dining bookings require a minimum of 50 people. Meeting spaces have a separate minimum of 30 people, but banqueting specifically requires 50 guests minimum to proceed with a booking.

What are the pricing options for dining events and what do they include?

Day Delegate Rate packages start from £53 per person plus VAT. All-inclusive dining packages are available at £76 per person including VAT, which covers room hire, glass of bubbly on arrival, 3-course seated meal, tea and coffee, staffing and security. Wine can be added at £18.75 per person for half a bottle.

Can I bring my own caterer for dining events?

External catering is not normally allowed on site. The venue works with contracted preferred caterers who handle both room hire and catering as part of their package. You must use one of their approved catering partners rather than sourcing your own catering independently.

What is the maximum capacity for the Diomed Suite dining space?

The Diomed Suite can accommodate up to 500 people in theatre style layout. For dining events, the space is configured as a banquet room with spectacular views over London and the Downs, making it ideal for corporate or private dining events.

Are there additional venue hire fees beyond the per-person dining packages?

Yes, there are additional room hire fees depending on the space used. The Mezzanine area has a room hire fee of £1,000 plus VAT. Some dining packages are all-inclusive, but additional spaces or specific room configurations may incur separate hire charges.

What kitchen facilities are available for large dining events?

Kitchen facilities in the largest halls cannot service seated capacity events for very large numbers (over 500 seated guests). The venue's kitchen capabilities are designed to support their standard dining packages but have limitations for extremely large seated dining events.

Can the dining space be used for events requiring both presentation and dining elements?

Yes, the Diomed Suite is versatile and can accommodate events that combine presentations with dining. The space can be set up in theatre style for presentations and then reconfigured for dining, or used in conjunction with other spaces like the Oaks Hall for different event elements.

What additional services are available for dining events?

Additional services include DJ and dance floor hire at £400 plus VAT, upgrade options for main course menus at additional cost, and the ability to add premium wine selections. All dining packages include staffing, security, and complimentary car parking.

Is the venue suitable for high-profile or VIP dining events?

Yes, the venue can accommodate high-profile events where VIPs need to arrive discreetly. The Diomed Suite offers spectacular views and an upscale setting suitable for prestigious dining events, with professional staffing and security included in dining packages.

What are the booking procedures and working days for dining event enquiries?

The National Sales Manager works Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Initial enquiries are handled by the events team, and full proposals with costs are provided after confirming specific requirements. The venue requires confirmation of guest numbers and catering preferences before sending detailed proposals.
