Would appreciate some feedback on what the food is like in the smorgasboard at the trots. Our work social club has a do booked there on the 5th of april. $20 per head for entry, a race book, buffet, beer, wine and soft drinks which I think is pretty good value. Just want to know if you guys think the food is any good.
ps. I'll also be putting the hard word on you for a few winners that night too.

How can you go wrong at that price ?
After your 3rd beer you're in front [admission, race book + 3 beers =$20 plus], and you've still got your feed to come. Good value :D :D :D

Cant be right price surely! advertised price for this package in Monday racebook is $60. Even allowing for a group discount cant see them doing it for $20 and if they do they will do their arse and might explain why rumours have the club in more difficulty than a team of one-legged tapdancers, Richmond, Melbourne and the Redbacks put together!

20 is about right if its of the same quality of the food and service offered on the bottom 2 levels.

NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN!

Will i have a meal in the downstairs BISTRO at Globe Derby Park.

SUNDAY EVENING!

First of all we get to the track and wanted to sit down somewhere we could enjoy our meal and watch the races at the same time.
FIRST MISTAKE> we were sent downstairs as nothing else was available if we wanted to sit down and have ameal.
SECOND MISTAKE> we thought never mind we will miss the first couple of races BUT can watch them on the tv in the bistro WRONG it wasnt on.
THIRD MISTAKE> thinking we would enjoy our meal. I think the thousands of flies BLOODY enjoyed it more than we did.
FOURTH MISTAKE> ordering a T-BONE steak and recieveing a BLOODY chop instead.
FIFTH MISTAKE> within minutes and i do mean minutes of starting to take orders they first couldnt find the key to open the till. THEN when they did find it they had no BLOODY CHANGE.
SIXTH MISTAKE> again within minutes of taking orders they start wiping the menu board COZ they ran out of food.
SEVENTH MISTAKE> waiting forever to get our meal coz the chef had to bring it out herself coz the waiting staff hadnt showed up on time.
EIGHTH MISTAKE> waiting for the table to be cleared of dirty dishes by the waiting staff. WRONG my 4 young kids had to clear the table so our main course had room to fit on the table.
NINTH MISTAKE> expecting the salad bar to be full of FRESH SALAD. WRONG it was totally disgusting and i wouldnt even give half the CRAP they were offering to my dogs.

All we heard for the entire time we were in the Bistro was numerous complaints coming from nearly every table.

As i said i will NEVER EVER again eat a meal at GLOBE DERBY PARK and have passed on my experience to all my friends and colleagues to make sure they eat before ever going there.

1 FINAL WORD OF OUR EXPERIENCE IN THE BISTRO

*********DISGUSTING**********

$20 for members of the social club and their partners, $60 for non-members.Spoke to one of the organisers on thursday and she said they already had 67 acceptances and had room for a maximum of 100.

There certainly seems to be a variety of opinions about the food and service but I think G read my mind as that was my intention, hit the bar and let the missus drive home!
