... and they're off!

Hold on to your hats, people!

It’s time to pick out your finest wide-brimmed hat, your fanciest fascinator, pour yourself a tall glass of bubbly, and get rowdy in front of the television. Here’s our pick of eats and drinks to sustain you.

The Starter

Little tuna morsels to balance in one hand while you pour yourself yet another glass of Champagne. You know, in case you win.

Drinks writer Mike Bennie says, “Irrespective of the menu (though it sure does match!) you’ll be wanting to celebrate, so Champagne is a must, but also add in a light red and a fizzy dessert wine for good measure.”

Drink match: Champagne (Veuve Clicquot Rose Vintage)

The Main

Something impressive that’ ready to slice and go, while you’re yelling “GO!” at the television.

Drink match: Light red (try Burn Cottage Pinot Noir)

The Dessert

Alcohol spiked jelly is both retro and glamorous. Just like your hat.

Drink match: Good moscato (Forteto della Luja Moscato d’Asti)
