About Us
Welcome to the royal foresters
A meeting place in the heart of Ascot for over 140 years, now this historic building has been refurbished, remade and redesigned. A place where the past meets the present, where log fires meet Mediterranean-inspired food, where cask ales meet wood fired pizza. It’s also where we’ve made a hotel with 24 beautiful guest rooms each with bespoke, contemporary interiors. This is the new Royal Foresters of Ascot.
Come through the main entrance, beautifully framed with wisteria, and arrive into our fully restored original bar with two period fireplaces. Through a brand new glazed extension on the east side, we offer a charming view onto a landscaped terrace and freshly planted beer garden.
The restaurant boasts an open kitchen, where our chefs can be observed creating freshly prepared dishes, using the highest quality, responsibly sourced ingredients. As well as meat, fish and pasta favourites, diners can also delight in a great range of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options, along with daily seasonal specials.
Wedding receptions, birthday celebrations and a variety of other functions are easily catered for, with room for 60 seated guests, both inside and outside, on the terrace surrounded by fresh plants. Whatever the occasion, our enthusiastic and talented team will make it a memorable one.
What Our Guests Say
Fantastic property all round. Rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. Staff friendly warm and welcoming. Food was also excellent in the bar. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay if you’re heading to the area. Also fantastic value for money.
Group of 6 girls visited here for birthday celebrations. Food and atmosphere were great, but have to say the service made it! Our waitress Bonnie was lovely. We had a couple of dietary requirements and she assisted with these amazingly. She must have run back and forward to the chef about ten times checking everything was suitable for us to eat. This makes it such a more enjoyable experience eating out when you have allergies. Great night, food and experience- will definitely be back! Keep up the good work Bonnie

We stopped at The Royal Forester’s for 2 nights for a recent visit to Ascot. The location was perfect and the hotel was fabulous. I couldn’t fault our stay in any way. The room was modern, clean, had all the mod cons and the bed was super comfortable. The staff couldn’t be anymore helpful if they tried. Very attentive. We had a meal in the restaurant which was fantastic. The waitress was extremely helpful and friendly. The food was fantastic and there was a good variety of drinks. We also got breakfast included and the selection of food was great and the quality and service was outstanding. I would definitely recommend staying there whether it’s a trip to the races or for a night or two away.
Lovely evening with friends. Good food, lively ambiance. Our server, Lily however, made our night really memorable. Friendly, attentive and a joy to speak to. Highly recommend for families or friends night out.
Stayed here Christmas Day night as I was spending the day with friends who live nearby. I booked a standard double room which was perfect. Room was a good size, exceptionally clean with a contemporary styling which I really liked. The whole room felt very new. Plenty of storage space, large flatscreen TV, Nespresso machine and kettle with capsules and teabags etc provided, minibar with complimentary water and milk. Even bathrobes and slippers are provided if you want them! Very comfortable bed, good soundproofing too as my room was on the ground floor and adjacent to the road and curtains that really made the room dark. Bathroom was also very nice, clean and spacious, great shower and toiletries provided. Breakfast was included and is served in the restaurant. You can choose anything from the menu, plus juice, coffee or tea etc. The restaurant area is open and airy, with the open kitchen area just behind, spotlessly clean and great to see all the tables laid out, comfy chairs too. I chose the full English breakfast which was very generous, very tasty and delicious, great flat white coffee too. I was extremely impressed with my room and the hotel and also the quality of the breakfast. The whole place is very stylish and contemporary in its look and feel. Very high customer service and I felt there was a real sense of pride from the people who were working there and that they want to ensure and deliver a great customer experience.
We had a table for 22 and ordered off the set menu - food was great and plenty of it. The service was fantastic the waitress couldn’t do enough for us very attentive. Would highly recommend a visit.
Visited for lunch today, warm welcome, amazing transformation! Delicious lunch, great staff! Will definitely be back!
We visited the Royal Foresters on 3rd November for an overnight stay .. The rooms are excellent and so was the full English breakfast in the morning . We had a superior room which was spotless with coffee machine , dressing gown and slippers . The bathroom again was lovely double shower and spotlessly clean . Very impressed. The bar / restaurant was very busy when we came in but you could not hear any noise from the room.
Wow , wow, wow , what a transformation. Fantastic vibe, great service , pure professional theatre watching the chefs at work ! The food was great , a nice variety. We had the burgers & pizza followed by a variety of desserts. All the food was well presented & extremely tasty ! Looking forward to going back . Great value ! Would definitely recommend!
