Henlow Greyhound Stadium - Bedford

Upon arrival rats were roaming the car park, rubbish everywhere. Sadly nothing improved as we entered the venue. Looked like a building site, health safety non existent. Again rubbish everywhere, entry was free and programme too. Boxing Day is usually packed out, but guess covid has a big part to play. No food on offer, no totes anymore so couldn’t really do your traditional betting. There was a bookmaker available. Tannoy system very poor and commentary and results could not be heard. Looks like The rumours of it closing down look to be true as place was run down and neglected. Certainly not a family friendly anymore RIP Henlow Stadium.

We attended for a Christmas meal and ‘disco’ it could not have been further than what was advertised. The food was packet food, all veg was out of a packet, not homemade. £38 for a 3 course meal that most probably could have been bought from Tesco for £5 in total. It was a quiet night so would expect the atmosphere to be less inviting however the betting was enjoyable, it was advertised as a Christmas venue and disco, however the only table in there was ourselves, the lights on as bright as possible in a Solent room with no music. The servers kept forgetting drinks even though we were the only table in the whole venue which was slightly odd. Would not recommend eating there.

A really fun day out. Although surroundings a little tired, staff could not be more welcoming and accommodating. Clearly a lot of people were regulars, who also were lovely, helping us understand the racing form, not that it helped us (LOL) We had such a fun time, definitely go again, what you paid for is exactly what you got, along with good banter from the regulars.

Been to Henlow dogs many times and always had a good laugh. It may not be to every ones taste but the place is a warm, friendly and professional setup. Food and beer prices are reasonable. Deals can be bought online from their website, details of any seasonal, special functions can also be found here. The function room is ideal for the larger work get togethers if you don't fancy standing track side. Whatever you go for there's always a great atmosphere, other sports are streamed, aired on the bars Tv's. Plenty of Windows to place bets. Parking is free. Prices and opening times are posted online. Overall a pleasant experience.
