The demand for fine dining experiences continues to grow, with a reported 65% of consumers eating at restaurants or food outlets for the notion of ‘treating themselves’. This sentiment is mirrored in the corporate world too, with opportunities to wine and dine clients, partners and colleagues on the rise.
The illustrious Royal Ascot welcomed almost 30,000 diners last year with even more anticipated this June. Those attending the high-brow sporting occasion can look forward to a history-making Michelin-star-studded line up of chefs hosting culinary showcases of stunning dining experiences. This will range from à la carte menus to more informal, flexible dining options in club environments.
Quintessential fine dining and hospitality packages at Royal Ascot offer mouth-watering menus to enjoy in and amongst world-class racing. Filled with exquisite taste, guests can hand-pick a Royal Meeting hospitality experience tailored to their taste.
Royal Ascot’s fine dining destinations
The Royal Enclosure is home to three masters of their culinary craft. Ollie Dabbous will steer his signature four-course à la carte luncheon menu in the striking orangery-inspired Sandringham, offering sensational views from the elegant Lavender Courtyard. On the 6th floor food connoisseur racegoers can experience the Panoramic Restaurant, promising an afternoon of gastronomic delight with the return of two Michelin-starred chef Raymond Blanc OBE at the helm. The pinnacle of fine dining, the Parade Ring Restaurant will welcome three Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan to delight guests in an exquisite interior, supplemented by exemplary service and uninterrupted racing views.

Alternatively, guests can enjoy a private table in the Furlong Restaurant with access to interactive chefs’ stations, offering a myriad of elegant summer dishes, or a freshly prepared three-course table menu. Four additional restaurants in the enclosure ensure quality and variety for every taste and occasion.
If guests are looking for something a little different, the Village Enclosure provides an opportunity to do just that. A three-course set luncheon in the vibrant Restaurant In The Village delivers a lively celebratory experience intertwined with views of the horses as they turn into the home straight. For something a little more informal, guests are invited to tuck into some delicately crafted tapas in The Villiers Club, located in a private area in the centre of the track.
