The Conduit Restaurant Hospitality Critic Review
Introduction
The Conduit Restaurant, named after the 2008 winner of the St. Leger (ridden by Frankie Dettori), is situated on the 2nd floor (of 4) of the Lazarus Stand (named after sponsors, Lazarus Properties). The St. Leger is the world’s oldest classic horse race, named after Anthony St Leger, who devised the race in 1776; it is the last of the five English classic races and the longest at 1 mile and 6 furlongs. The Conduit Restaurant has a capacity of approx. 250 guests.
Location
The impressive Lazarus Stand was built in 2007 (replacing the old Yorkshire Stand). It is a five-storey structure and the Conduit Restaurant is ideally situated on Level 2, providing an elevated panoramic view of the racecourse. The Restaurant has a viewing terrace and as a bonus, the terrace has unreserved grandstand seating, where you sit opposite the finishing straight and Winning Post.
