The relaxed piazza style of the Ebor Bistro on the ground floor eatery was a great success in its first year and offers the chance to enjoy a coffee with a cake or perhaps a reviving bowl of chilli (£4.95), without needing to leave the Ebor Stand or miss out on a race as giant screens are at hand.

  The Princess Mary Seafood Bar has become a popular retreat for a bowl of sustaining seafood chowder.
