Roots at the Races with Tommy Banks

This year’s Summer Music Saturday, taking place on Saturday 27 June, promises to be truly unforgettable.

For the very first time, Michelin-starred Chef Tommy Banks, owner of Roots York, will be bringing Roots to the Races.

For one day only, Tommy and his team will take over the Dante Suite’s kitchen, curating an afternoon of exceptional dishes inspired by his celebrated Roots concept. With a table for the day and a fully stocked, all-inclusive bar, it’s the perfect way to enjoy outstanding food, racing, and hospitality before rounding off the evening with an electrifying live performance from Becky Hill.

An experience not to be missed.
