"We booked into the Racks Ski Lodge for our work Christmas meal. There was a group of 53 of us and from initial enquiry through to the meal itself everything went very smoothly. The team at Racks set out the booking and pre order process clearly, on the day everything went to plan and the food was delicious. Thanks so much Racks Team, see you Christmas 2025 if not before!"

"I booked my works Christmas meal at Racks this year. It was a very large party of 74 people and everything went smoothly. I could tell that the team knew what they were doing and they looked after us all well. I have had great feedback from my team in regards to the food, décor and friendly staff that work at Racks. It was really enjoyable, thank you Racks!"

"Our workplace Christmas Do was a roaring success here this year. We had a 1230hr sitting for 15 people in our own little area happily situated near the bar. The staff were excellent and attentive and we wanted for nothing. The menu was varied with something for everyone and the food did not disappoint. I highly recommend the salmon and chocolate orange torte....scrumptious! Despite it being lunchtime, there was a terrific crowd of other work done party goers and this contributed to a very merry atmosphere indeed. A big thank you to all the staff at Racks, see you next year."

"Had our Christmas party - when it was wonderfully busy - and you'd expect to get (and forgive!) worse service... We had a superb experience, the team were excellent (esp Abi) and everything from food to atmosphere to service exactly what you'd hope for!"

"Went here for a group Christmas dinner, the food was fantastic and there was a good choice of beers available. "
