SSP's Bottega has announced two prestigious openings of two Bottega Terrazza Bar & Restaurants this month at Bath and Windsor racecourses, the first since the start of the pandemic.
These are elegant outdoor spaces where racegoers can watch the action whilst enjoying Prosecco and a selection of Italian dishes. These are complemented by the Bottega Garden Bars, which are more mobile structures, offering just drinks.
Bottega and ARC (Arena Racing Company) agreed the introduction of the restaurant format at Bath and Windsor and, with a pop-up formula linked to specific events, for other racecourses in England.
Sandro Bottega, President of Bottega S.p.A., said, 'We have always loved horse racing and the people who are part of this beautiful world, where everyone loves nature and animals. All this is closely linked to the unbreakable commitment to sustainability that our company has been having for so many years.
'These are core values both in our business and in our everyday lives, and the reason to raise a glass is not to win but to be part of it. ARC is a great organisation to which we have dedicated all our efforts, realising two great projects: Bottega Terrazza Bar and Restaurant & Bottega Garden Bar. We are confident that they will be a success.'
The Prosecco Bar format was launched in 2014 on board Viking Group's Cinderella ship, which operates on the Baltic Sea. Over the years it has been introduced at the international airports including Birmingham, and also inside the Birmingham Arena.
The bars offer a range of wine beyond Prosecco, including prestigious reds - Amarone, Brunello di Montalcino, Ripasso, Bolgheri, dessert wines - a selection of white and barrique grappas, together with a wide range of fruit and cream liqueurs.
