Reviews of Spectators Bar & Bistro

J. B.

Spectators Bar & Bistro is a brilliant place to watch Harness racing. Indoor & outdoor covered seating (great rain or shine). Dine indoors or out. Drink selection good & reasonably prices. Loads of seating. Modern, comfortably enviroment, with local shuttle service. Friendly, helpful bar staff. Opening a tab for meals & drinks is not a problem with Specators member card. Plenty of TAB facilities. Great fun for a night out, spend a little or alot.

G. L.

Great Food and a good vibe. Nice place to watch the races from and to catch up with old mates. The food is extremely good value for money with a good selection to choose from. A very enjoyable evening.

A nice bar and restaurant that serves good quality food. Located in the Addington Raceway's main building on the ground floor it caters for all sorts of events. This includes business functions, race day events and personal bookings. It is a nice place to have a meal and or drop in for lunch. Car parking is easy as there is a major car park out front.

J. H.

N. I.

Great venue. People don't understand this is open almost every day! Great food at great prices! Steak was brilliant.

D. C.

Bloody good place, staff are outstanding, bar service can slow but such a busy place you can only expect this. Will be back for more.

C. F. T.

Great atmosphere for our Tuesday night knitting group. Nice lighting , so you can see what you're doing. Good food and coffee and we are always looked after well.

A. M.

Nice friendly, welcoming staff. Great food. Very qui k service and good prices. Came here for something to eat as we were at Armageddon but there was no cafe or anywhere to sit and eat there. So glad we went to Spectators instead. More choice and more relaxing.

c. j.

Things are really starting to turn around there! I heard they are going to do low-n-slow American bbq...can't wait to try it!

M. C.

Nice meal, shared plates together and all really good, inc the coffee and probably unnecessary but great cake. Always a fun atmosphere and staff great

J. K.

Great place to eat at reasonable prices for meals. I would definitely have a meal here agan. Yummy meals light and snacks were terrific. I enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere here. Pleasant staff as well. It does pay to book a table just to be safe it gets quite full.

J. B.

Not a bad spot for a pre-show drink... Well, really the ONLY spot that's within walking distance of the Horncastle Arena. Expect large crowds and a wait on a show night. We grabbed an outside table on a cold night... No issue thanks to the outdoor heaters 👍

a. F.

Lovely food at a good price and awesome car prices. Staff were all extremely friendly

C. P.

We went when a gig was on at the Horncastle Arena. It was busy but we were told what was best to order for the least time waiting and the staff were still awesomely friendly in their busiest time. Food was great. They forgot the milkshake so when we did get it we weren't charged. Definitely recommend these guys.

N. B.

I went in to get a coffee. I asked for an iced coffee take away and the best they could do is give me a coffee cup with a straw. Any cafe/bar that offers iced coffee usually has proper cups for takeaway. The man was kind and gave me a refund however.

O. G.

Huge portions sizes and decent food for price. Average coffee. Great place for a drink before a concert next store or if you're keen for the races.

A. H.

Very good pizza and pub meals, great fun on a race night or if the rugby is on!

R. E.

A. A.

H. W.

Always amazing service and food. Large venue great for events and social get togethers.

D.

Just been and had lunch.First time since new chef.Bring back the old kids menu.Kids burgers too big and spicy and with relish and stuff in them.No small drink and icecream.Wont take kids again if it stays the same.Staff was great as he understood and gave us a discount.Please make menu a bit more kids freindly.

D. C.

Packed night at for rugby but steak cooked as requested with plenty of salad (asked for No fries which they did). So cold beer and a good steak. Great times.

W. R.

Nice atmosphere but overpriced and the selection isn't what its cracked up to be...if your at the races and wanting a beer then good place to go but if your hungry I suggest going elsewhere

T. U.

This is a great place if you like horse racing. The coffee and food are delicious. People are lovely and the service is very good.
