The Royal Foresters Hotel
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.
Services
Check into the hotel at the Royal Foresters and explore Ascot, Windsor and the surrounding area. For those guest who enjoy horse racing, The Royal Foresters is located just 5 minutes from Ascot racecourse and is the perfect place to stay when heading for a day at the races. For those that like their history, the picturesque town of Windsor is just 10 miles away.
Our expert pizzaiolos craft genuine wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas. The 00 flour, tomato sauce and Fior di Latte mozzarella are all sourced from Naples. The dough is proved for longer resulting in a lighter crust. Cooked in the wood-fired oven, every pizza has a unique smokey flavour and is authentically charred, something that is impossible to replicate with a gas or traditional home oven.
Whether you're organising the office party to drinks and nibbles with friends, we have everything you need at The Royal Foresters to ensure that this year's festive frolics are the best yet. Our beautiful function space can cater for up to 80 guests for a sit-down meal. Why not consider extending your visit and booking one of our beautiful bedrooms for a relaxing overnight stay.
Please note that all of our tables are available to book through our online booking system. When making a booking enquiry, if there isn't a table available at your chosen time and the system doesn't offer you an alternative time then unfortunately we are fully booked. We recommend either trying a different day to see if we can accommodate your booking or alternatively why not explore one of our sister venues.
The Royal Foresters is a unique venue with warmth and charm to make your intimate wedding truly special. Set in the heart of Ascot, this historic building has been refurbished, remade and redesigned. Our spacious function space, with its own fully staffed bar, is suited to 60 seated guests for your wedding breakfast or 70 standing guests for a buffet.

Great looking place but the service was not great. Waited for table service- nothing. Tried to order on the app but daily specials are not on there. So went to the bar, to then be told we should get table service and someone will come to us. Another 10-15mins and the we ordered. Only to then be told what we wanted had run out.
Food was good when we got it and the staff were friendly but speed of service only 3 stars guys.

The meals were terrific, the staff were great. The wine was a little expensive (Then I'm not let out often). however several flies irritated our table most of the evening

My first experience of The Royal Foresters, it was brilliant, our waitress Lucy was lovely. Food is delicious and they have plenty of choice for those with allergies or intolerances. Just wish we had one in Suffolk

We had a really delightful lunch on Saturday. Ambience is great, we were not harried to eat and leave even though we went beyond our allotted time. The staff were very accommodating and most importantly the food was delicious, with great portion size. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that I ordered a Bloody Mary and the first was almost too spicy, but still within a range of acceptable, but the second was really undrinkable (I did persevere but I am stubborn), due to someone adding a large amount of ground pepper to the mix. I am not really fond of drinking pepper corns! Also the other drink order

What a great place to eat and drink and generally have a nice time at the end of a long day. And very close to Ascot racecourse too if you fancy a meal or drink after a day at the races. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing. The food was delicious and all the staff were friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The online booking process was quick and easy and we didn't have to wait at all when we arrived. We'll definitely visit again and we highly recommend it.

We spotted this little gem by chance on our way to Virginia Waters. After getting back to our hotel we googled it and once we saw the menu we made a booking and we weren't disappointed! The staff were super friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and the potions generous. Great ambience and we will be returning.

Excellent quality food. Also found the service extremely good, and the place must have been 60% full.
Reasonably priced menu.
Very nice atmosphere
Will be returning just to make sure things are still of a high standard.
