Coral Romford Greyhound Stadium

Well, where to begin. In terms of cultural experiences, this is definitely an interesting experience! I guess that I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but the drinks were cheap (two beers and two mixed drinks for ten pounds).
To view the races you either have to stand outside or watch it on the screen inside. The betting lines were quite short even on a Saturday night. It’s not exactly a clean venue, but what can one expect? It’s the kind of place that serves drinks in plastic cups and has small children about well into the night!
While we had a good evening, I wouldn’t make this a regular occurrence. Though if you want to experience Essex life or a different side to English culture, this is an interesting place!

Romford Dog Stadium has always been a good evening out. I’ve been here with friends a few times and it’s always great fun!
I’m not a big gambler so I always only put £2 on per race. It’s a nice place to come with friends and I also see lots of families here.
Drinks are cheap, good bar selection and there’s food available if you get a bit hungry. Always a friendly atmosphere. Entry fee is low but luckily for me I’ve never had to pay entry as I know a few people who work there, so I get on the VIP list ;)
Staff are quite pleasant (even when I told the guy on the betting booth that he looks like Frodo Baggins from LOTR) and will have to organise a evening here again soon!

Really nice food. I was surprised to be honest. Good prices and you don’t have to wait forever to get your food. Loved the food here a

Well, I have never been to the track but I have been to Romford and indeed know it from a work experience.
Sorry to hear so many sad stories about it, although there is a mixture of goodwill as well.
It provides good Thursday events for me when I get down to working my figures.
I guess for me it would work out expensive as I do not attend sites they just form a platform for me.
just like owning a brand, it has warm connotations for me.

Romford Dogs is a cheap and a good night out for the whole family, friends etc.
The atmosphere is great and really gets you in the spirit, the food was avaerage, it wasnt great but it was good, i also found the food to be very value for its money.
The only down fault i had on this place is the parking, it gets really busy and there is only limited amount of car parking facilities.
Overall it was a good night out, especially with a big group of friends, it made the night enjoyable and was a good laugh as you can compete against each other which makes it even more challenging.

Romford Dogs is definitely cheap and cheerful looking. But if you want a good fun night out with a group of mates and don’t care what your surroundings look like then it’s a good place to go.
I’d recommend setting yourself a budget of spending as it is very easy to get caught up in the excitement of betting on each race, despite only placing a few pound on a dog.
Parking was a nightmare, with not much available on site and most people end up parking on the street. Would definitely recommend clubbing together and travelling in a group either in a smaller number of cars or taxi etc.
Overall it is a very different night out to the norm and quite inexpensive to boot.

If you like a flutter, and don’t mind the odd bit of sand, Romford Dogs is certainly not the worst place to go. There is a traditional sit down restaurant with good views of the track but most people enjoy the stands either inside or out. The bar is huge & well staffed so liquid refreshment is not hard to come by. Traditional east end Burger Van food is available (burgers, chips, sausages and pies) and can be taken out onto the stands so you dont have to miss a second of the action

A great value for money night out for all the family/​Food not the most fantasic but cheap and what you would expect.

Romford Dogs is an institution and well known across london. Entry fee is reasonable and discounts are offered (it pays to ask at the gate) Plenty of seats and room and food is available. the food is similar to what would be available at a football match — burgers, chips, nuggets etc. full bar & staff are friendly. If you are going in the winter months, wrap up warm & dont forget the hat & scarf if you want to go outside to watch the big race!

I am a huge fan o fthe dogs, although i do feel that compared to walthamstow this isnt as good, there is still a good atmosphere and variety of people. It can get very busy and there are great places for you to eat/​drink and chill out while watching the dogs do their thing!
It is a good night out, especially if there is a large group of you as you can ‘compete’ against each other see who wins the most and generally more of a laugh with a large number, although still very enjoyable with any number.
A great night out, and something different to the ordinary nights.

For a group of people up for a laugh, there are few places that could offer this value for money. You want to eat? There is a very decent kitchen that can cater for any numbers. Want to have a drink? There is a bar that doesn’t charge £5 a pint? Want a gamble? Try the Tote. You can place any bet from £1 upwards and the staff taking the bets never take the ‘p’ even when you win £1.83 on a dog race (guess who that was?). The atmosphere gets more excited as the evening wears on and, towards the end, the result of a race and your £1 bet becomes an obsession. Try it, I guarantee there will be few who come away without having a fun evening and there will probably a number promising to return.

I just love this place! The do a great value set meal in the restaurant and you can watch the action while you eat. A great saturday night out.
