Tucked along London Road in Ascot, The Royal Foresters isn’t just a restaurant-it’s a slice of Berkshire history wrapped in modern charm. Whether you’re a local on the hunt for a cozy brunch spot or a traveler looking for a warm, pet-friendly restaurant with personality, this place delivers.
From the moment you walk in, it’s easy to see why The Royal Foresters has become a favorite for food lovers. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between classic British countryside and contemporary comfort. It’s got all the essential touches-free Wi-Fi, plenty of free parking, wheelchair accessibility, and a family-friendly vibe that feels just right for both lazy Sunday roasts and celebratory dinners.
When it comes to the food, The Royal Foresters offers a menu that speaks to every craving. If you’re stopping by for breakfast, you won’t want to miss the Full English Breakfast-a hearty, traditional plate that gets your day started right. Prefer something lighter? The Eggs Benedict (GFA) is a local favorite, creamy and indulgent without being too heavy.
Lunch and dinner are where things get even more exciting. The Porchetta is a showstopper-crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside, served with seasoned potatoes that are worth the visit on their own. For something British and nostalgic, try the Adult Small Fish and Chips-a refined take on the pub classic.
And yes, if you're vegetarian or vegan, you’re still in for a treat. The Symplicity Burger (Ve) and Chaloumi salad offer rich flavors without compromising on freshness. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are clearly labeled and thoughtfully prepared-making it easy to dine with dietary preferences in mind.
Pair your meal with a cold beer or a crisp cider from the bar, or sip on a frothy cappuccino if you're just in for a coffee break. The drinks menu is well-rounded, featuring everything from classics to local finds. And don’t even think about leaving without trying the Chocolate Brownie (GF, V)-decadent, gooey, and gluten-free, it’s a crowd-pleaser across the board.
Part of what makes The Royal Foresters stand out is the ambiance. It’s not air-conditioned, but thanks to the smart layout and open space, it stays comfortable year-round. Dogs are welcome, which is always a plus for pet lovers looking for places that don’t just tolerate animals-they embrace them. It’s also a smoke-free environment, which helps keep the vibe clean and relaxing.
You’ll often find guests lounging with a drink at the bar or enjoying weekend brunch with the whole family. It’s also a great place for casual business lunches, thanks to strong Wi-Fi and quiet corners, even though there’s no formal business center. Service is generally prompt, and staff are known for being warm and accommodating.
While Ascot has no shortage of dining options, The Royal Foresters holds its own with a winning combo: diverse menu, reasonable prices, and a setting that feels upscale without being stuffy. If you’re torn between hitting a trendy gastropub or a classic country inn, this place gives you a bit of both.
It’s easy to see why people return again and again-whether it’s for a sizzling Beef Burger with Fries, a beautifully plated Caesar Salad, or a slow-cooked Roast Beef that tastes like Sunday comfort on a plate. The kitchen’s attention to detail and the chef’s love of bold, seasonal ingredients shine through in every dish.
