Eccentric: John McCrick will be at hand to give expert tips
Celeb restaurant: enjoy a night at Frankie Dettori's restaurant
Frankie's Sports Bar & Grill at Chelsea is hosting a special Night at the Races on Thursday 8th October as part of a series of events in the capital for the London Restaurant Festival. The evening will be hosted by legendary horseracing pundit and tipster, John McCririck.
While enjoying a three-course Italian meal, guests will be invited to team up and compete against fellow diners by placing bets on horse races shown on the plasma screens around the restaurant.
There will be lots of prizes on offer including gourmet dinners, video games, football tickets and spa vouchers. Guests may also get the chance to meet the restaurant namesake and racing legend, Frankie Dettori.
The event will begin at 7.30pm and tickets are priced at £50 per person. This includes the meal, a half bottle of wine, a glass of Prosecco and bets for the evening. The event is open to over 18's only and all proceeds will go to Chelsea's official UK charity partner, Help a London Child.
The London Restaurant Festival is a citywide celebration of eating out and the first of its kind. The festival acknowledges and celebrates London's extraordinarily diverse range of restaurants.
