Places to eat & drink
Musselburgh Racecourse offers a great selection of places to eat and drink. Take a break from the racing action and visit one of our restaurants, bars or cafés located around the racecourse. All our dining areas have our racing action live on TV screens so you can keep an eye on the action whilst you're away from the running rail.
