London Gold Cup Lunch 2025

Our London Gold Cup Lunch will once again be taking place at one of the world’s most famous and iconic cricket grounds, The Oval, where we will be located in the luxurious 175 Suite.

The Cheltenham Gold Cup is the most important steeplechase in the world, with the names of some of racing’s greatest equine superstars etched on the coveted trophy.

This year we are delighted to welcome a very special guest, who’ll be announced in the coming months. Our professional tipster will also be giving his thoughts on a cracking card at Cheltenham. This all-inclusive package includes a three-course meal, six hour complimentary bar of beers, wines and soft drinks, big-screen coverage of the racing, and the chance to hear from these two sporting icons.

Pete Graves

A passionate Newcastle Utd fan, Pete has enjoyed a swift rise through the broadcasting ranks to become one of the most recognisable faces on Sky Sports. After leaving university, Pete started his broadcasting career with the hospital radio show Radio Tyneside, before working in the local Metro Radio, and then ITV Tyneside as a sports reporter. Since 2009 he has worked at Sky Sports, mainly as a presenter, where his passion for sport and all-round knowledge are amongst his greatest assets. Over the past few years Pete has become a great asset as a regular host of our events, and we are delighted to have him as always!

175 Suite at The Oval

One of the world’s oldest and most iconic cricket grounds, The Oval has been the home of Surrey CCC since 1845; it was the first English ground to host Test cricket, and internationals have been played here ever since. The brand new 175 Suite is within the Kia Oval’s recently opened Galadari Stand; situated on the second floor it offers a fantastic view of the famous Oval wicket and abundant natural daylight. Food and service are of the calibre you would expect from the premium facility at a world class stadium. Fully air-conditioned, the Suite has high ceiling so is perfect for a giant screen event, and with easy tube access from the Northern and Victoria Lines, this is the perfect setting for our event!
