FORK at Royal Berkshire Hotel in Windsor and Maidenhead

Great standoff and a good looking building, let down by slightly above average food. If they up their game, they could easily charge a lot more but, to be fair, at the moment, it's it's fair price for what you get.

Mixed feelings about our lunch. Two main courses, shared desert and one soft drink equalled to £73. The portion sizes were small and not value for money. Service was hit and miss, took ages to put in order and food to arrive and then four people asked us how our meal was. Then silence again for desert. Would understand but we were one of 4 tables. Would not revisit.

Visited to celebrate our 47 wedding anniversary, hotel is ok, nothing special. Could have done with a good clean, the cobwebs around the windows were terrible, this in the dinning area and bedrooms. No atmosphere in the hotel at all, we dinned there for the two nights, food was average, we booked through 'Secret escapes' and were on the special menu for 'secret escape', which was exactly the same the following evening, had we stayed longer than 2 nights I would have struggled to choose something! This will be one hotel I will not be returning to.

Went for family birthday, food was very good with the steak being especially tender. The Service was very attentive and friendly and were even presented with a 2nd happy birthday chocolate desert. Bruno was a real credit to the hotel and made the evening special. Would definitely recommend.

We visited for our first wedding anniversary, and it was an average experience. Despite telling them when I booked it we were celebrating this special occasion, it wasn’t acknowledged at all. We ordered some pink Champagne, however we’re Brough the next one down the list (£50) which also happened to have a pink label, so it was t until it was poured we noticed and was too late to change. However, the food was good and tasty. If it was not for Sam in the bar that we visited afterwards saving the day for the venue, the review would have been lower.

Wow excellent Sunday lunch at The Fork in Royal Berkshire Hotel. Sunday roast with side of cauliflower cheese and stuffing balls wrapped in bacon was one of the best roasts for a long while. The baked cod simply melted in your mouth and the bavette steak was perfect. Needless to say not all was eaten by me but well I colud have as it was yummy. Great surrounding and views of the garden. Service was examplery. Certainly highly recommended and very reasonably priced meals for the for venue.

I tray coconut bacadi, owsam . With salmon fish .

Given the lack of and the mixed reviews we came here not expecting much. We were however presently surprised at how amazing this dinner was. We had the gnocchi and the chickpea burger, both were delicious, but the gnocchi was especially amazing, the best I have ever had. We ended up going for the brownies and ice cream from the kids meal, which they scaled up to an adult portion, which was very hospitable of them. The lady serving us was excellent also. Only thing I would improve on would be the atmosphere, background music, dimmed lighting etc... Overall fantastic.

Good. We dined there twice while staying at the hotel. First time was a miss, we felt the food was too salty. Second evening we were quite happy. Can't tell exactly what we had.

Tasty food. Would have given it 5 but the desserts were not very tasty and a staff member sneezed on/near us without a mask which didn’t feel great

I have just returned from a two night stay at this hotel which was enjoyable. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful. Our room was on the second floor and looked out onto the extensive grounds. I made a mistake by not enquiring as to whether the hotel had a lift as my sister-in-law had walking difficulties. However, she managed. Our meal arrangement was breakfast and dinner in the evening to include "nibbles" and two courses from the menu. If we required a further course, this was an extra. We had a delightful Vietnamese waitress on our first evening by the name of Le. She was absolutely charming. She informed us that this weekend the hotel had an Indian Wedding taking place and that an elephant would be arriving for the ceremony. We were sorry we couldn't witness the proceedings. One thing I would like to mention is that the hotel is on an incline and when exiting, it is very difficult to see the traffic approaching and a mirror on the opposite side of the road would be helpful.

My friends and I just had the most wonderful afternoon tea here . I visited some 5 weeks ago for dinner and was not impressed and vowed not to return. However I found myself here again but I have to say on this occasion everything was just wonderful. Fresh and imaginative sandwiches, freshly cut and not served from a cold fridge. The pastries really cute pretty and absolutely delicious. The tea was served on freshly laid trays with sparking silver tea pots and clean white china cups and crisp fresh white napkins. Well done to Debbie the General Manger and her team. I hope you go from strength to strength as custodians of this beautiful little hotel , improving all the way.

Having vowed never to return to this restaurant, I found myself here with friends for afternoon tea - I was feeling disappointed. However, upon arrival.....fresh flowers in reception it looked lovely . The afternoon tea was so delicious. Fresh cut sandwiches not served from a fridge . Imaginative fillings fresh cooked little scones and pastries bite size and sheer heaven. Tea tray was laid with fresh crisp white napkins , sparking silver teapots, white china cups and saucers all beautiful. We had the most wonderful afternoon, not hurried the setting is delightful. Well done to Debbie and her team, this little hotel I feel is gong to go from strength to strength . I look forward to returning to try a Friday/ Saturday night supper very soon. HP - SURREY

Beware the on line menu.. Which looks very tempting. Upon arrival we were handed a white paper laminated All Day Flex menu. The food choice was pretty much basic pub food. So disappointed... The best offering on the menu was desserts.... Staff trying hard to please... Hotel decor very nice... But food quality very poor. We paid £60 a head Inc drinks.... We won't return. HP

Great menu, wine and service. Kids menu is really good.

Menu was limited prob due to Covid but what we had was nicely presented and arrived quickly. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Tried out the restaurant for breakfast and dinner and both were impressive. The breakfast buffet has good options including gluten-free breads on request. Sausages were really excellent. At dinner the staff were friendly, competent and the menu offers a decent range of foods. I tried the goat cheese salad, Vietnamese rolls and fish and chips - all of them were tasty and well presented. Deserts were absolutely fabulous as the chocolate with orange deluxe was superb. The setting itself is nice and my view from the window was calming and a great place to enjoy great food in a nice setting.

We stayed overnight at the hotel and ate in the Fork restaurant. We sat outside as it was a nice evening . The food was excellent as was the service.

Stopped in on the way back to the hotel after a day in legoland. Received a very warm welcome and was surprised by how quickly the food arrived as there was 7 of us. The staff couldn't do enough to ensure everyone was happy with what they were ordering and even altering meals from the menu to make sure everyone was happy. It was one of the best meals I've had in a while. Hopefully we'll get to call in again.

We dined here during our stay at the royal Berkshire hotel and had a wonderful meal. We travelled down from London on a Friday and booked a late dinner at FORK. For starters we enjoyed the quails scotch egg and for my main I ordered the fish and chips. Both courses were well cooked and presented. We were recommended the Ridgeview sparkling Rosé from Sussex which I hadn’t tried before and was pleasantly surprised - fresh and light, easy to drink. Albeit very quiet, with only 2 other couples dining, we had a great experience.

Unfortunately, I won't be attending your hotel for Mother's Day with my mum after your awful customer service. I cannot believe you call 5 days before the event to tell me ... 1) the price has gone up 2) you can accommodate 1 guest but not 2 guests 3) you want full payment today No apologies or solutions to this ... I booked last week with an email confirming the booking. So not impressed.

We stayed at the Royal Berkshire Hotel for two nights. We had lunch both of the days and dinner on the second which we requested to come to our room. Every dish was very good. Beautifully presented and delicious. There is however a lack of vegetarian options, I’m guessing that there was meat in about 70% of the menu. A few more nourishing meat free salads, pastas etc would have been great. As they offer pasta, we would have loved to see pizza on the menu too. Very impressed by their full English breakfast. My boyfriend had bacon and pork sausages while I had the veggie option. Would dine at FORK again, especially if they add a few more dishes to the menu.

On the first night I had a starter (soup) and a main course but was unable to eat it all as very generous portions Second night just had crispy duck croutons as a main again very generous portion.The staff were friendly and helpful . Enjoyed our experience

Simple and surprisingly reasonably priced but not exceptional. We have eaten here twice and its not bad. Not sure on the decor but that is my opinion, service wasn't great but we enjoyed the food so just gets 4 stars.

We ate here for dinner during our hotel stay. The decor is lovely and modern but still retains sash windows and nice fireplace. Food was really well done and tasted better than the price tag. Staff very friendly. Only downside was the price of drinks....usual hotel prices 3 times more than retail. But overall a nice place.

Spent a night at the Berkshire Hotel so tried the Fork restaurant in the evening. Staff is very welcoming and professional. I had a homous starter, burger as main and banana split dessert. Food was amazing, just the burger was a bit too dry and not such a great quality. Not too expensive overall. A good restaurant overall but I was expecting a bit more.

We stayed 3 nights at the Royal Bershire and enjoyed it very much. We ate lunch once and dinner twice at the resort ..FORK. The food was delicious. Service was good but not exceptional. If you are in vacation and trying to relax and slow down, this is a very good restaurant

I was treated to Afternoon tea by my friends for my special significant Birthday.whilst their afternoon cream tea was lovely,my Gluten/dairy free cream tea was inedible ; The bread on the roll was quite tough,may had been frozen. The cakes tasted dry and were tasteless or left a peculiar taste in your mouth;.the shortbread and scones was strange and dry texture.plus the creams one clotted one pouring were tasteless ,one was grey in colour .My friends tried the the food to all said it was awful. We challenged the waitress to taste them but she declined . The did deduct the price of my cream tea , but i was really upset for my friends ,as the gone to a lot of trouble of making sure i could be included and enjoy an afternoon cream tea treat. I have eaten a lot of delicious gluten free cakes so it can be achieved. and in a prestigious hotel this was really in acceptable.

Dined while staying at the hotel and was incredibly pleased with the food offered. All fresh, delicious and brought out with a smile.

Mediocre food when we actually got it. Dreadful service as staff were looking after wedding guests and clearing up after them.

We stayed at this hotel for one night on the 27th May. Our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very nice but the evening meal was mediocre. The drinks at this hotel were very expensive but were presented very nice.

Stayed 9th June for a wedding and although we didn't eat dinner in the restaurant, the catering was to die for. As was breakfast the next morning, so much variety and cooked to perfection!

Stayed at the hotel and ate in the restaurant for all meals. Breakfast particularly good. Great evening meals too with a seared tuna dish one night and also Thai fish cakes on another. Buffet lunch had a good range of hot and cold. Well done chefs and staff

We had a family lunch at the Royal Berkshire Hotel on Easter Sunday. Wonderful welcome at Reception. Beautiful lounge very comfortable seating. Very prompt service for drinks in the lounge. Extremely helpful staff and wonderful private dining room. Lunch for my husband, daughters, son-in-laws and grandchildren was perfect and service was excellent. Day was made complete with dry weather and the children having an Easter Egg Hunt in the grounds of the hotel. Children had a wonderful time. Thank you for a lovely Easter Sunday.

I took my sister here (future bride) for bridal shower afternoon tea and she was delighted. Place is so beautiful and romantic, grounds look like from some movie scene. Staff is helpful and polite and always there to help. Did not like my choice of tea in the beginning, was changed straight away without additional charge. Was offered Gluten free and dirty free options. Just very relax and enjoying atmosphere. Because of my sister it will be very special place to me and I'm happy I chosed it. Thanks very much!

We celebrated a lovely Mother's Day here, enjoying the 3 course Sunday roast menu. Mothers at the table received a small flower to take home which was a lovely touch! Food was delicious, especially the roast beef and sea bass. Only downside was that service was slow - no one around to get the bill, and only one working loo in the ladies with a busy lunch, tea and party service going on meant a queuing system! Recommend for a lovely family Sunday.

Good breakfast and dinner for all the family. Nice atmosphere and beautifully decorated. Would recommend

The choices of menu at our visit was rather small. They did not have my first choice. Rather disappointing given the depth of the menu. Bread would be nice before the meal. We dressed for dinner and this was not complimented by the staff wearing jeans. A more smarter appearance would compliment the desired message of being an upmarket Hotel. Given that smart casual was required. Staff service was good.

I went to the FORK on Sunday with my husband and we had a lovely time. The service was good and the ambience was relaxing. They offer a Sunday Lunch menu which is £19 for 2 courses or £24 for 3 courses. This was extremely good value for money. The quality of the food was great and they don't scrimp on the portion sizes. My husband and I, could not finish the plate as there was so much.

A lovely family meal (despite our young kids). It was Legoland season so the restaurant was full of families with young children. Menu was simple but food was good and service polite and fast.

What can I say... let's start with the positives hotel is loverly great setting, bar very nice and comfortable, now on the side that lets the Hotel down...The Fork Resturant, waited by door for 5 mins to be seated shown table then had to wait...

We were invited a few Sundays ago for lunch, upon arrival we were greeted by a waitress who was clearly not prepared for accepting the first customer of the day at 12 noon we were shown to the wrong table and when we wanted to order starter drinks she had disappeared clearly rush trying to get the restaurant ready.

I booked last minute as our original venue messed up the booking for our family birthday celebration afternoon tea. We...

Debe probar el menú fijo para el almuerzo. Excelente servicio y una experiencia increíble. Increíble ubicación en el hotel.

Cenamos en la horquilla, ya que estábamos alojados en el hotel. El menú es compacta pero con adecuada selección. Tanto mi pareja como yo tuvimos un bistec que estaba delicioso y perfectamente cocinada. Los postres eran enormes y fabuloso. La carta de vinos es muy amplia y el personal son los conocimientos suficientes para recomendar un acompañamiento para su comida. En general, una cena perfecta.

Tuve el risotto de arranque muy bien preparadas y acabados con la pasta penne champiñones silvestres. El servicio muy atento y de excelente calidad. El interior parecía nueva y tabla de diseño era bueno.

Buffet breakfast excellent selection - evening dinner nice, with option of eating in casual bar or formal restaurant.

Disfrutamos de una comida relajada con mi joven familia. Menú sencillo pero con buena comida y vino con un servicio amable.

My family of myself, husband and 5 year old daughter stayed in the hotel for 2 nights. We ate in the fork for 2 breakfasts and 1 dinner, on the first night we ate in the polo bar for dinner which is the same menu. The staff were exceptional very accommodating. On the first evening the manager introduced himself and asked us if there was anything they could make for our daughter that wasn't on menu. However she did eat from the menu and finished it on both nights which believe me is high praise, as she eats very small amounts. Myself and husband thoroughly enjoyed our dinners on both nights. Breakfast buffet there was a very good selection for adults and children we also had boiled egg, pancakes and porridge freshly made all of which was lovely. Again all the staff were so polite and helpful can't fault a thing. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable.

I had booked for 11 adults and 2 babies one month in advance, as one does with a large party. We were supposed to be in the restaurant area for Sunday lunch for our daughter's birthday. When I called the day before to reconfirm the arrangements, they told me there was no reservation and they were full that day. It turns out that staff had mis-booked us as 2 adults only. (Not sure how that happened.) I was to say the least extremely upset as booking an alternative for a large party was impossible. However, the restaurant came through gloriously - they gave us a private room at no extra charge and made sure that they could serve us Sunday lunch. This was massively better for us (and other restaurant goers) given the age of our babies!In the end we had a lovely day. Food was very good, well presented and in large portions. The children were also catered for. Everyone was happy.Thanks to the restaurant and lovely staff. Sorry it has taken me a while to write this up!

We had a buffet breakfast here after a wonderful night at the Hotel. We sat on a lovely table near a window overlooking the garden. The buffet breakfast was served in the room next, there awa a good selection of cereals, bread, fruit and yogurt, and hotplates with sausages, bacon, mushrooms, beans etc, with orders taken for eggs and porridge. Waitresses bought us our tea and coffee, and were friendly and efficient. We loved the decor in the restauraunt which flowed through the rest of the Hotel. Overal we were very satisfied with the food, the service and the atmosphere.

Good pricesUnpretentious Pate was nice as was the Caesar SaladFish cakes were tasty - a lot of pasta in the main course

We had a Sunday lunch as well as an evening meal during our stay at the hotel and both were very good. Both the food and the service was very good and the chocolate fondant I had was amazing although the coffee wasn't.

I have to say, this is one of the worst Sunday Lunchen I have ever had. First off the service was not great. Our seats by the window was dirty. The table was not good with the Pepper mills broken and filthy. Then the food. No flavor on the starters. The roast beef was terrible, the potatoes were frozen aunt bessie type. The cauliflower cheese tasted if it was made with powder cheese. The meat it self was so dry. The turkey tasted like processed meat. We were asked if we wanted a Desert, we just wanted the bill. And left. We were given a reduction on the meal as we were not happy. But I'm sorry , a place like the Royal Berkshire Hotel. Which is advertised as a exclusive hotel long side Penny hill park , Manning Heath golf club Nr Horsham, Farnham hall Nr Ware ,Lainston House Winchester and the Manor House & golf club Nr Bath. Should have much higher standards then this.We we're going to staying at this hotel for a forth coming family celebration, inviting all our family and friends. Needless to say this will be the last place we would go to. Also never recommend anyone to go to for a Sunday Lunchan.

Simple menu, but food well cooked and tasty. Good breakfast, good quality produce. Good choices for kids.

Could have been so much more, very expensive for ordinary pub food, and not even cooked or done well, service very hap hazard to none existent. £162 for an average meal for 4, hmmmm one fish and chips one rump steak and chips (not cooked right sent back and still no good) one ribeye and chips and a burger and chips.that was 4 starters and puds not of which was anything special.Would not dine there again, very poor food and service.

Our visit on this occasion was to celebrate my sisters birthday as well as my wife's mothers forthcoming 90th birthday.As a treat we were seated in the Horlicks room which is normally reserved for private dining, drinks and food were ordered and within a few minutes our drinks, and jugs of water were delivered to our table by the very attentive and polite staff.First up were our staters which were all very nicely presented and highly enjoyable, served with nice fresh rolls with a large choice of grain etc.Everybody having thoroughly enjoyed their starters had a little breather before the main course came out, the majority of whom opted for the excellent traditional roast lunch.The quality and presentation of the food was to the normal high standard that the Royal Berkshire Hotel aspires to achieve on every occasion. As it was a special occasion my daughter had made birthday cake so on this visit we didn't sample the sweet menu.An excellent lunch, food and service first class.

Had a nice relaxed dinner with two young children. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was lovely.

I live very close to the hotel and had visited previously to look at facilities for a work event which I was impressed with, they've done a nice tasteful refurb. Sunday lunch looked good value with a set menu so thought worth a try. It was worth a try as the food was perfectly pleasant... I had the duck starter which was ok then I had the beef which was much better, not overcooked as sometimes happens and nice veg selection. Pudding also was good. What I think let it down was there was zero atmosphere in the room and only one older waitress who frankly seemed like it was all a bit of an effort. Strangely, the food was brought out by young energetic staff who then disappeared again leaving the just one lady to manage the tables. I did wonder if there was a staffing issue and didn't get the impression there was anyone in charge. So, despite having a perfectly pleasant lunch I wouldn't rush back and my comment to the hotel is use your other staff more and breathe a bit of life into the place as it is lovely.

I had a group dinner -Christmas event and the service was very, very bad. The food was average. Everyone were disappointed.

The service was ok, but the food simply not good enough at all. Lady G ordered a fille steak medium & it came still moo-I got to the table. When it returned, it was beyond rubbery & we can only think at they'd microwaved it? She gave up & just had pate.My steak, in fairness, was actually quite good although a tad cool.Breakfast was comical. No beans, no mushrooms, no eggs.... And no butter until they got some from the freezer which was still frozen when brought for my (now cold) toast. Coffee was not hot, twice. Sorry - two star was as high as I could get: three stars would have been too generous.PS The staff were really nice, but the food was embarrassing.

We had a beautiful Sunday lunch here. The food was cooked to perfection with there were plenty of vegetables to make sure we didn't leave hungry. The cauiflower in cheese sauce was especially nice. Chose the "Jelly" for dessert which turned out to be a platter of several interesting tasty sweets. Had several coffees in the lounge afterwards and walked out in the gardens and played on the enormous garden games such as the draughts and snakes & ladders - it was a nice sunny day which added to the atmosphere, though I guess we can't actually credit the restaurant with that!

went here for birthday dinner recently. We are local but have never had dinner here before. I was struck by the pleasant and fresh decor of the restaurant and really liked the colour scheme, the stripped wooden flooring and the chairs at the table were comfortable, a small point but one I value. The staff were friendly polite and attentive. I have several dietary requirements including gluten free and vegetarian. I did let them know beforehand and it didn't seem to be an issue. I was able to choose from the menu and the food was very good, tasty and well presented. Portions were good, didn't do dessert as had eaten enough from first two courses. Some reviewers have moaned that the restaurant lacks atmosphere and needs music. I would not agree, preferring the quiet, relaxed feel of the place and being able to take our time and enjoy conversation. I guess if you like roudyness this isn't the place for you. A tad on the expensive side for drinks I would say, but after all this is Ascot and a very nice venue so 'get what you pay for' springs to mind' we will return and had an enjoyable evening.

We booked this restaurant as part of our ruby wedding celebration. We arrived with all our family including a 2 year old and an 86 year old, to be told they had forgotten out booking. We waited an hour and a half before any food appeared and then it was tasteless. The whole day was ruined. After several letters they offered us an afternoon tea to make up for this error, After further letters we received a day at their sister hotel. We would not trust this hotel with our booking.

Although we were staying at the Royal Berkshire Hotel, we nearly didn't have dinner there as the menu for the Fork bistro seemed cheap, nasty and overpriced.However, we did go for it and I'm glad we did. We had really superb fish and chips - a huge portion, perfectly cooked. For what we got it was good value.It's such a shame the hotel don't promote this superb asset more.It really is good.

I stayed at the Royal Berkshire for 3 nights and ate at Fork for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I must say, I loved everything I had at this restaurant. Especially the pork belly, duck rolls and the seared tuna. I would recommend doing a reservation for the afternoon tea. Their reaction to me as a single person asking for afternoon tea was a bit off putting. I understand that the pastry chef prepares to number of people expected, but still, they should have some kind of preparation for the hotel guests.

We were part of a group of 14 that made a last minute booking and sat down for a late dinner. The dinner menu seemed to be short of options, but having made our choices without exception everyone commented on how good the food was. Service was efficient and the staff were attentive.

We've been a few times for lunch and apart from one or two glitches it's generally been a good experience. The location is lovely, the decor stylish and the fixed price Sunday menu very good value for such high quality food. For me the main attraction is that as well as the usual roast meat, they have at least one veggie and fish option available, and delicious desserts. The chick pea panisse with goat cheese mousse is a stand-out veggie dish. Downside is that it can be noisy even if half-empty. There have also been recent signs of decline, such as terrible cafetiere coffee and poor quality bread. Apart from one occasion, the service has always been excellent. The wine list is expensive but at lunchtime this is offset by the excellent value food.

We arrived with high hopes, the hotel is lovely and the restaurant a stylish blend of character and comfort; we found the food overall to be good however Mrs J's steak was gristly & tough in places and 1 steak had to be returned. The waiting staff are very polite but there was minimal interaction and if one wanted something after a course had been delivered they seem to have all disappeared.Also the room really echoes and we had to talk loudly at our corner table just to make ourselves heard, even though there were only a couple of other tables occupied.Overall I'd say the value is good considering the lovely surroundings but the experience didn't quite match the expectation a venue such as this creates.

I think the challenge with this place is that it is another restaurant in a hotel, which incidentally looks like it would be a nice place to stay. Other reviewers have mentioned that the ambience is so neutral that it actually lacks any atmosphere at all and this is a major issue...the fact that there were only about 3 other tables dining when we went also meant that the room was far too quiet and felt soulless notwithstanding the fact that the room is actually very pretty & very well furnished.We had two of the two course Sunday lunches plus a glass of wine each, which with service came to £60...not bad in the surroundings, although many might say that you can get that in a nice gastropub for sub-£50 and have far better atmosphere.In any scenario, the wine was reasonable, the food was well cooked and the service was impeccable...no reason for it not to be in a decent 4* hotel and with so few guests, but still of great credit to the team as it was clear they cared about their customers and ensuring they had a good time.There are also lovely hotel grounds you can walk around before or after your meal and ample parking.One bug bear is that I think service charge should never be automatically added to Bill...it should always be at customers discretion and be able to be paid in cash to the waiting staff direct.Overall, a very pleasant experience and I would go back...I just wish I could help them to add something to this restaurant to make it a bit more exciting and ultimately more popular as right now it's just a bit too sterile!

Poor staff lacked direction ,very poor at clearing tables,children allowed to run causing one to get out as fast as possible.the standard of dress of diners was more fitting to a childrens play area no control by staff or parents.If you want a quiet hotel where you can rest your head this is not for you.

Good menu to suit all tastes.Food excellent Staff are very helpful and able to give advice on menuReally enjoyed the evening

Restaurant was very quiet (Sunday evening) . Service very friendly and prompt. I had fish cakes to start which were generously sized and very nice so I had the Seared Tuna starter as a main course . This was very fresh, well presented and the accompaniments ( anchovies, quails egg etc) were lovely . Hobbies had steak pudding which he said was delicious. Starters were £5-9 and mains £12-20 . Too full for pud.

Booked here based off the pictures on trip advisor as we were staying at Coworth Park and fancied somewhere off site for my partners birthday, what a mistake!The restaurant looks nice but has no atmosphere at all, no background music and this is a shame because it's a nice room. Food was OK but nothing great although the wine was poor, really cheap quality and the white was not properly chilled.Don't get me wrong, I've been to many worse but the name and pictures give the impression of it being a special place but it's very average. Try Coworth it is fantastic as is the Belvadere Arms, both will not disappoint

Not an a la carte restaurant but obviously all food fresh and tasty. Very well priced for a hotel restaurant, Couldn't fault either the food or service

Really lovely restaurant. Great service and great food. Would definitely recommend. Fantastic for family groups and special occasions.

Very happy with such great choice for the vegetarian . Food was very nice,service was perfect,setting wonderful..only tiny little moan would be..its too quite..even a very low amount of music would make this restaurant a little better.to hear forks tapping and ppl whisper because it was so quite was a little unsettling.

The menu was very extensive, they had at least 5 vegetarian choices. They had a variety of main courses available including pasta, salads, burgers, steak. The waiters were very welcoming and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. The dessert choice was also large and I would highly recommend the fairground dessert. This comes with mini doughnuts, popcorn, mini candy apples, candyfloss and mini ice creams. It was definitely the highlight of the meal. The mains were lovely and fresh, the mushroom and parmesan pasta was very tasty and the garlic bread that came with it was also very nice.The hotel was very luxurious and it was nice to stay there after the meal. The meal was very filling!

I had the occasion to have meals in this restaurant recently during my stay in the Royal Berkshire. The buffet breakfast had good choices - not over the top but more than adequate nevertheless. Having breakfast here gazing out of the window at the wonderfully manicured lawns and elegant trees was a pleasure. The service was good, the staff courteous. Definitely a calming and pleasant experience.

The food really was very good, service was acceptable but the place lacked any atmosphere. We had planned on having a relaxed evening out but the entire meal was over in an hour due to such prompt service. I guess its an ideal place for an evening meal if you are staying at the hotel on business and just want a quick evening meal but for a couples night out it just didn't work.

The restaurant seemed very homely and welcoming and at the time we went down for breakfast (08:10) it was not too crowded. There was a wedding reception taking place on the day and this still didn't lead to the place becoming over crowded. The sausages were great and well cooked but the bacon was not how I like it (crispy). The scrambled eggs had a consistency akin to porridge and I precariously sampled a small spoon full. The beans were fine and I stayed away from the mushrooms and tomatoes as I don't believe in fried vegetables with my English breakfast. A few surprising additions to the buffet breakfast, "eggy bread" was there, a variation of a fried slice soaked in whisked egg. It was ok but I didn't think the egg added much to the flavor. Also on offer were a selection of pastries (croissants, min custard parcels, and Danishes), blueberry muffins along with fruit. Bread wise there was white and brown bread and surprisingly for a buffet breakfast, plain bagels along with smoked salmon. The salmon was delicious and the bagel adequate. The toaster took a bit long to toast the bread but I certainly wasn't affronted about having to make my own toast. A variety of spreads were available, peanut butter, Nutella, jams and honey. The honey was set though which was disappointing as my wife wanted to put some in her green tea. I ordered some coffee and it was weak and forgettable. There wasn't any butter available though and the table had two dollops of butter in a dish. This seems odd and I didn't want to pester staff for butter so I didn't engage in my pre meditated wanton destruction of toast and bagels, sticking to a single bagel and two slices of bread :( The staff did a good job of running the service and I look forward to sampling the delights again tomorrow. This time, opting for an Earl Grey tea as that is somewhat harder to mess up than the intricate art of a fine cup of coffee.

lovely staff, very helpful and kind to the children, great food, and lovely surroundings, would definitely stay there again

The restaurant has a great view of the garden and the food is good, although don't order a burger - very poor. The breakfast buffet is excellent and the Sunday lunch is great value

We stayed at the Royal Berkshire hotel and ate at the Fork restaurant during a lovely weekend away.The hotel is set in attractive woodland and has some beautiful gardens. The restaurant itself is seemingly deliberately simple in décor. The service was fine, but not amazing. Meanwhile, the food was really good. The portion sizes were just right and although the menu was not extensive, the dishes we had were original and really tasty. The red wine jelly was particularly good.

Having spoken about trying the food at fork for sometime we finally visited last night. The decor is lovely but we were the first table in and there was no atmosphere what so ever we asked the waitress why there was no music on and were told the managers don't like music so they don't have any. Do they not realise that music creates a nice relaxed atmosphere! We ordered our food which came out in good time and was very tasty. The duck croquettes are delicious!!! And the steak cooked to perfection. We decided to forego dessert. All in all a nice evening just a shame it lacked the all important atmosphere!!!!

Great food and fantastic service but not cheap. The waiter made sure I got a meal even though I arrived after the restaurant had closed which was a sign of a good restaurant. They had Glenmorangie Ruby port barrel whiskey at the bar which was amazing

The choices on the Menu were excellent and varying. All three courses were cooked and presented perfectly and I thought the slow cooked Belly of Pork was the best I have ever eaten. The restaurant itself is very pleasant and the staff are extremely friendly which made the whole dining experience relaxed and joyful.

We came here for my Uncle's Birthday Lunch. I loved the restaurant and the food and staff were great. We will come again thank you

A group of 4 dined here as a very rare work night out as we had heard good things about the restaurant. The grounds of the hotel are Beautiful, we purposely sat outside for a drink to enjoy them.When we walked through to the restaurant we were seated. And within 10 mins we were asked if we were ready to order countless timestimes. Even though the staff could see menus were still open and we were all still chatting away.Once ordered, starters arrived which were all very very good, however this is where the service started to fall down.When we were served mains, two of us had steaks. They presented us with a medium rare, we had ordered medium well and they said that's it but were not sure so had to go back to check. They then didn't know which steak was the medium one and which was the medium well. After we both cut into our steaks it turned out we had the wrong ones (good job we were in good company and didn't mind swapping!)We had to repeatedly ask for more drinks and had to ask more than once for them to arrive.We had to ask for pudding menus, when they came it turns out there was a deal that you got a free pudding if you had two courses (first we knew about this) but was only a selection of the desert menu so we had to ask for the one shown online (as I had my heart set on the fairground platter)Pudding was amazing!!All in all this is not a cheap place to dine so the service does need to improve and it let's the whole thing down

The staff at the royal Berkshire were excellent and professional.The family rooms, I found them to be too small,and the room was toWarm.Putting the fans in the room was quite thoughtful , but the room was still too warm.housekeeping could be more thorough in there efforts.

Fork is a very nice restaurant for either hotel guests or coming into from outside. The cost is very competitive , menu a little limited but just a small number of covers so quite adequate. Staff are very good , always book as many weddings going on at weekends .The meal surpassed my expectations .

Went to this restaurant with my partner, his mother and two children (4 and 7); it has been re-decorated last year and has been done up to a very high standard.We went on Sunday and had the sunday roast, which was amazingly tasty and good value for money.The children were also well catered for in terms of food, but I think the younger children may struggle with the formal surroundings.

We visited this restaurant as we were staying at the hotel and it was convenient to eat in house. The menu was not large but the selection on offer was varied and I could easily have chosen several dishes. As it was I had the tuna niciose salad to start followed by the chicken, both were absolutely delicious but I thought the portions were on the small side. My husband had a burger which was more substantial and he said it was good. My only real criticism was that I thought they were understaffed....I know that they were expecting the restaurant to be quiet but it was pretty busy when we were there. The staff that were there were attentive however, we would have had dessert but the menu was not forthcoming so we gave up. Would I eat here again....yes definitely the food was great and I am sure the staffing issue was just a glitch.

The food served is from a good selection, and is well presented. The menu is above average price and is not special enough to warrant a visit just for the restaurant, but when staying in the hotel it is an obvious and convenient choice. For a stay of a few days it has enough variety for most people's tastes.

We had booked a two course meal plan as part of our stay at The Royal Berkshire Hotel and Legoland Trip. However, on the first evening we had only one course and had used up £45 of our £62 allowance! Don't really mind but feel the offer is not quite open and honest! The food was average and quite bland, so on the second evening we ate elsewhere. However, have to say the hotel in general was lovely and staff were helpful and friendly.

We visited Fork on Mother's Day as a group of 6,including 3 Mothers and left feeling just a little uninspired.We arrived early for our table, but were not given the opportunity to relax with a pre-dinner drink as we had anticipated, but were shown to our table immediately. The restaurant is light, well decorated and has some lovely views across the grounds of the hotel.The service in the restaurant was at best average. It was by no means full, despite the day, but there were insufficient staff on hand to ensure that the service was efficient and effective. The staff who were on seemed slightly inexperienced as well - we were asked to order food before anyone had offered to take a drinks order. Our white wine arrived warm and had not been chilled and we were only once asked how our food was and that was when most of us had finished our main courses. We had to frequently try and attract the attention of serving staff who seemed unfocussed on their guests. The menus that we were also given gave no prices for the food, but did have prices for a limited selection of their wine on the reverse. We were not offered a wine list and had to ask for that.The food itself was good, not exceptional, but reasonable. However very limited vegetables were provided for a group of 6 of us. The menu had a limited range of choices to select from for each of the courses.What was disappointing was that no fuss was made of the ladies in our party, particularly given the day. No acknowledgement was even made by the staff of the occasion. A wasted opportunity in our eyes.We retired to the bar/lounge for coffee which was pleasant enough and finished the afternoon nicely, but we left feeling that we had just had an average experience. Not terrible, just nothing special at all and not one that would make us consider the restaurant that we would rush to return to.It all could have been so different had the service been focussed, professional and attentive. All very easy things to resolve.

There's nothing particularly wrong with the food at Fork - its just fairly ordinary and fairly typical of a hotel with a modern dining room but I did think it was over priced. Starters and desserts at £9 - even some of the Michelin star restaurants I've been to don't charge that much - but then it is Surrey. When I ate there on a Friday night it was half empty which says something. The room itself is modern and bright but not condusive to a romantic dinner. The food was nicely presented if a little style over substance. Wine list i felt was a pretty poor selection. If I stayed at the hotel again, I'd probably eat at Fork, only to save driving elsewhere. I certainly wouldn't recommend it as a destination restaurant. However I wouldn't recommend it at all for breakfast. The service was erratic and disorganised, plastic bread which took ages in the self service toaster, one cup of tea and noone around to ask, and my poached egg was a big ball of water when I broke into it and it soaked into the toast making it soggy and inedible. Very unpleasant.

food was great, waiter was so attentive to make sure we were happy and had everything. We would definitely go back again as the menu is very good.

Visited for Sunday lunch and it was fantastic, for £19 for 2 courses or £24 for a 3 course Sunday lunch its great value in any area let alone Ascot/Sunningdale and it didn't disappoint on any level. On the food front, I had the chicken liver pate to start which was lovely, Then the main attraction, my roast beef was cooked superbly and along with the enormous helping of potatoes and veg I am truly stuffed and delighted with what I have eaten. I Will have to return for dinner at some point as I am desperate to try the fairground desert looks amazing. Will be recommending friends to try this place for themselves.

Had been to The Royal Berkshire hotel for Afternoon Tea before and absolutely loved it. Went back for dinner after seeing how nice the restaurant looked! Ordered some bread while we were waiting, it was so fresh it was still warm! just how bread should be! for starter I had the Duck, absolutely amazing I didn't want it to end. For Main we had the Rib Eye steak, cooked Medium Rare, it was to perfection! the chef definitely knows how to cook his steaks!! Cant forget to mention the Staff, she was very nice and friendly but didn't catch her name. We are already our next visit!!
