Racecourse Hotel reviews

3 Star Review by Ruby Cooper

Waited over an hour and a half for food on a Friday night. Only 2 people in the kitchen. Live music was good but way too loud. Couldnt hear the person next to me outside. Had a flat ginger beer too. The atmosphere was nice and there is plenty of seating outside but the service did not meet the expectations.

5 Star Review by Craig Ziernik

Finally I got to experience the Double Duck Smoke House's amazing food they have to offer. Well not the entire menu but the Brisket Burger was selected and they delivered an amazing sensation to the tastebuds. Thanks DDSH Team for a memorable experience which won't be the last!

5 Star Review by Jessica Fisher

Nice little pub. Double duck smoke house out the back is a must for food! Absolutely beautiful and great value for money. Tasting plate only $40 and burgers $15.

2 Star Review by Kieran Rooney

A little disappointed with the lack of designated smoking area. All of the undercover area seemed to be full of smokers, no fresh air in which to enjoy our drinks
