What Makes Us a Top Spot for Restaurant Group Bookings?

The Owlerton team understand that booking a group meal is sometimes a bit of a headache – someone wants a fancy three-course feast, someone else just wants a good pint, and there’s always the one person who forgets to bring cash. Sound familiar? Well, we’ve got you covered.

At the Panorama Restaurant, you get the best of delicious food, dynamic entertainment, and an incredible vibe – all without the hassle of organising a million different plans. 

Our glass-fronted, elevated restaurant means you’ll have unbeaten views in the house of the greyhound racing action while enjoying a meal that’s been crafted by our talented in-house chefs.

And the best part? You don’t even have to leave your seat! With at-table service for food, drinks, and tote betting, you can soak up the action while our front-of-house team takes care of everything else. 

Your table is yours for the whole night or afternoon, so there’s no rushing off or being asked to move along. While most tables seat 4 to 6 guests, we always do our best to keep larger restaurant group bookings together, so no one gets left out of the fun.

Group Bookings By The Trackside!


The trackside bars and packages are the perfect answer for a relaxed affair for your larger party. Our hugely popular deals – 6 Pack, 6 Pack Plus, and Sunday Trio – start from just £7 per person and include everything you need to kick off your get-together.

What’s more, if your group don’t want to pre-book anything, you can pay on arrival at the gates for general admission and then head to the Paddock Bar, Snack Bar, or Panorama Bar!

Make sure to stick around for the after party on Fridays and Saturdays, when the stadium comes alive (even more) with new music acts every week. The vibes include indie solo artists, tribute covers, themed dos, pop extravaganzas, and much more.

How to Plan the Perfect Night Out with a Large Group

Check out our top tips to ensure your Owlerton experience runs smoothly with a group booking:

  • Dining in the restaurant? Pre-order your meals so there’s no hassle on the night – more time for enjoyment and less time deciding between dishes.
  • Book in advance to ensure you secure your preferred date – group bookings can fill up fast, so avoid disappointment by booking early. 
  • For even more entertainment, pick a date when we’re showcasing live music to add an extra touch of excitement to your large group activity. 
  • Advise your group of nearby hotels and transport to make their weekend a breeze if they’re not from Sheffield – we can help if you’re not sure!

Encourage a little research on greyhound racing so that your guests can make informed decisions on the dogs and betting.
