Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

12 of us visited for the evening meal
The grandchildren all 10 and under loved every second as did we all
The only issue we had, it stated table service for the drinks
There was 3 families and we were told. No if your not paying all together
Bit of a shoddy remark tbh
Because they were quite happy to take the bets separately
Won't put us off returning

We booked a private function room which was a good size for 20 people with 2 long tables with a huge window to view the track.
Staff where really pleasant with one person provided to service your bets.
The 3 course food was a bit hit and miss.
Starters and deserts where plentiful and nice enough for shop bought food.
The main course however was pretty terrible. The large tray of previously frozen shop bought roast potatoes where like stones. The rest of the meal pretty tasteless.
For the price you pay you would at least expect freshly prepared food by a chef.
Not a service I would pay for again.

Scoured the internet to find out who the racing manager is . Nowhere is this information at hand . Awful way to run a business .

Today (26/09/2021), We decided to try Sunderland Greyhound Stadium for Sunday lunch for our wedding anniversary meal. We didn't have a booking but on arrival the guy on reception said they had a couple of tables free.
We were given a nice table in the trackside restaurant with a view of the track, right next to the winning post. The greyhound racing had started at 1106am, we arrived just before 12 noon but there was still 6 races left upto 2pm. The Main course was priced at £8.95, choice of Pork, Chicken or Beef. We both opted for Beef. The meals were delicious, the beef was thickly cut but fell apart when you cut it & tasted delicious, the potatoes & veg which consisted of, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, mashed swede, cabbage & roast potatoes aswell as mashed & a huge Yorkshire pudding. Absolutely worth the price.
You get full waitress service aswell as staff who come to your table to take any bets. It was a lovely afternoon, very relaxed & the staff were brilliant.
We decided to have desserts. I opted for new York cheesecake, the hubby had trio of ice cream, both priced at £2.95 each. Along with 4 cokes, the total bill was £34.40. Worth every penny, we even won £28 haha.
Definitely worth a visit if your in the area but if its more than 4 people, I would definitely book in advance. 10/10.

Been here a couple of times. They have deals on for a pie and a pint and and booklet with the race details on, the drinks are quite reasonable and there is also a nightclub attached for after the racing. It’s a little out of the way, but that’s it’s only drawback
