Ascot Racecourse Review

Great experience. Excellent variety of food on offer. Great viewing.

Nice place everyone is having fun getting drunk and losing money.

Brilliant day out and you see people from all walks of life which makes it most entertaining! Oh! And yes there are also lots of horses running around.

Love ladies day at royal ascot staff and atmosphere brilliant well worth a day out

FOOD AND DRINK CONFISCATED ON ENTRY! I cannot believe this, what an absolutely shocking trap to force people into paying for their overpriced rubbish or face hunger and dehydration all day. What's worse is that this money making atrocity seems to have been brought in just for the Red Bull Air Race weekend, with no explanation or reason why. I wouldn't have known about this unless I enquired, as this was not stated on their website at the time. When I emailed back asking why this was, and what the alternatives were for people not wanting to purchase food, I was ignored on two occasions!

So not only are they money grabbers by forcing people to buy their food and drink, they are also terribly rude and have no idea what customer service is - good luck if anyone has to deal with them.

Well run sports venue. Something like a dominant big brother to live beside :-)

Went to a wedding here...really nice and clean place

Great venue with fantastic facilities, easy access from the station

Great day out with the family or friends, lovely to see all of the horses before the race too. Good selection of food stands, restaurants and different stands serving all kinds of alchoal and different types of soft drinks. Would defiantly recommend.

The grass was a bit dry but that's normal for current conditions. There was plenty of sun on the day. Air quality was good too. The trees in the parking field sometime play host to a number of wild birds so watch out if you recently washed your car. We hadn't so it wasn't an issue.

Massive course with everything from bars and restaurants to competitions and the obvious betting stands. Attended a family day here and had a picnic in the designated areas. Clean and well maintained.

Premier racing event. It doesn't get bigger our better than royal ascot. Hiring a minibus our coach reduces headache significantly

Loved it,lovely day nice place nice people what can I say

Loved it.. The view from the Panoramic Restaurant is just perfect for the finish line

Always a buzz this place.

Enjoyed Royal Ascot and took home some decent winnings also!

Attended the food and wine festival in September. Great day of racing and food/drink stalls.

Great day out and experience for both those who have no prior experience of horse races and for seasoned veterans at horse racing! Very grand and is very formal for royal ascot!

Never been to Ascot races before. Had a lovely afternoon and a few winners

Ladies day is my favourite day of the week,there are 6 of us ,champagne is flowing from Waterloo to ascot ,we look forward to this every year,every one should experience royal ascot

Always great fun attending Ascot Racecourse. No matter what the occasion
Racing, RedBull Air Race

Ascot never disappoints

Even if your not an horse or betting person it's a wonderful experience.

Great location and stadia for hospitality and sport

The family fun day was excellent and kids loved it. I will visit again! Great atmosphere!

Keep it up Ascot!

You use up lots of money and not lots of stools to go to.

Ladies day was a lovely day out but appalled by the amount of litter left ie glasses jugs and bottles ,there are enough bins about people don't use them

My favourite track for flat and national hunt.Lucky enough to have led up at the Royal Meeting (KAPONO)

The best racecourse experience in the entire country by a mile, staff were impeccable as always, special mention to the ticket office for reprinting the tickets I d left at home to avoid a potential early end to our day, I cannot commend the day highly enough!

Recent Xmas Party. Very disappointing as food option and quality for 3 course meal, in particular for table of 7 Vegetarians and Halal customers was not taken into consideration. As well as no non alcoholic drinks were not provided as an alternative ! We embarrassingly had to almost beg for one glass of soft drinks. Starter was the most awful ever tasted (half a tea spoon of Goats cheese spread out on a dining plate with bizarre looking and tasting dried foliage and a few slices of carrots). Main course was bland Halal Turkey as expected and ordered, unexpectedly accompanied with 'pigs in blankets' !! which we had to point out does not make it Halal. the only expectation met was the dessert . WHY cant i post my Pics ??? Save your money and 'fine' dine elsewhere.

Wonderful summer 's day at Royal Ascot on Saturday 23rd June 2018.

One of the most exiting Darby in the country. All the people wearing most beautiful dresses and happy faces. I can't wait another one next year.

One of the best days out a person, couple or family can have.

Always a great day out. Made even better now they sell Windsor Knot bitter in the bars in addition to the generic beers on tap.

Interesting Christmas craft fair. Lots of stalls with a variety of lovely items.

Nothing nicer than a day at the races, and Friday afternoon meetings are a great way for families etc to enjoy and experience without large crowds

Best place for horse racing. Avoid coming by car during Royal Ascot as it s a nightmare for traffic. Train is the best option.

Great day out here very good atmosphere and great service from all staff drinks are abit pricey but expected aswell as food my advice bring a cool bag with food and drink in it refer to the ascot website for food and drink guidelines

A lovely day at the races. Great staff and atmosphere.

Very well manicured and built racecourse that makes all amenities in easy reach areas, as well as having a good layout for flow of people around the actual structures

Enjoyable day good races some winner's
i/c of Brother in Law weather good got a "Wave from the Queen" as did thousands of others.

Day one at ascot no winners but not a lot of bets so enjoyed it now for drinks in Farmborough.

Ascot racecourse is always a good day out.
Good facilities.

Great venue.
Well serviced, great choice of food and drinks plus the added bonus of watching the races from either inside or outside depending on the weather.

Beautiful racecourse, very British and brilliantly organised. I hope to be back soon

I've never been into a racecourse area, so cannot compare with anything. However this place is massive and modern.

It's quite trilling looking at the several courses, the horses being warmed up and of course do bet on them.

To enter in certain areas you need to follow the dresscode, so if you don't fancy a suit and tie this is not the right place for you.

Absolutely amazing!!! Very well run everything about ascot is fantastic!!

Very exciting Ladies Day was an amazing experience. Plenty of gorgeous outfits giving obvious pleasure for all. The buzz of first time betting and seeing horses racing was wonderful to watch. Plenty of places to eat and drink. Singing around the bandstand at the end was very moving.

Thought I would have a mare, but won a pony. The mane highlight was the hospitality.

Let down by the parking..its a joke trying to get out...

Good day out, family day food wine and a few bets then fireworks in evening.

What can you say; a fantastic say out..... but expensive!

Excellent no more than you would expect from one of the Premier tracks in the country xx jj

Beautiful atmosphere and of course a wonderful day at the races! One of my favourite places in the Summer!
Having said that the taxi service outside the designated pick up/drop off point is in shambles! Independent taxi cabs operate in the car park and charge exorbitant rates which normally is inflated by 200%! Sad state of affairs as this can be easily be fixed by having an independent regulatory body issuing fare rates to each customer.

That will certainly make a difference!

Great racing and expensive surroundings but badly let down by the catering. Poor food selections. No choice of wines by the glass. Even my village hall pantomime offers a choice of wine these days. Stuck firmly in the days when arrogant super catering companies said "Sod the customer. We will take the easy route and offer no choice, because we cant be bothered to train our staff." Sadly full of drunk stag & hen parties too.
