Loch Fyne - Woodside Ascot in Bracknell Forest

Booked 3 weeks ago for a spe ial birthday treat. Turned up this evening to find it had shut down... They couldn't even bothered to have told us....

We had dinner here with our elderly friend and our little girl, we had a great evening, our waiter was amazing and catered to our table amazingly. Menu has got a little smaller since we came before but we had an amazing meal and birthday celebration.

Do NOT eat in this restaurant. They were turning people away at the door when the restaurant was half full for the whole evening - not enough staff or food? - and the meal was atrocious. They were unable to provide our choice of wine (“just sold the last bottle” - at 7pm) from a very limited wine list. The total bill came to over £60 per head. Incredulous. There are so many better places to eat in the area.

We had booked for lunch on Monday 15th and we were seated by the acting manager, Ben, who promptly disappeared. We looked for a member of staff to bring menus. After several minutes we were given menus by Ryan who was very pleasant and helpful even though he was the only member of staff to be seen. There was a long delay before taking our order and the lunchtime experience just got worse. Without saying too much more I’ll just say that Ryan was very happy to help us but was under pressure, he did his best. We enjoyed our food. As we left we saw Ben, acting manager, sat outside relaxing on his phone with AirPods/earphones in. Unacceptable.

Driven past many times and finally booked a table. Friendly welcome by staff and interior was nice. Food was hot and tasty, I had fish pie which was nice but not too salty for my taste. My friend had fish and chips which she enjoyed. Will defo be back .

It's about 45 minutes for us to get here but so worthwhile. As on previous visits the food as cooked to perfection and service was impeccable. My wife enjoyed the mixed seafood grill and said the mussels were the best she has ever had, my hake fillet was gently fried to perfection with hardly any oil, and our daughter's whole sea bass (which they kindly filleted when cooked) didn't have a single bone. The pace of service was just right so thank you to everyone front of house and in the kitchen. We will be delighted to return.

My husband and I went for a long awaited meal to Loch Fyne Ascot. It was very quiet and staff were busy doing other things. No interaction or customer service. We started with the bread , oil and vinegar. It would have been nice if the bread was warm and more butter. We ordered fish cakes which were three balls smaller than golf balls and the haggis scotch egg which was raw and cold in the middle but burnt oily on the outside. The smoked haddock had its skin on which was off putting as it hadn’t be cooked . My husband ordered the mixed grill which had one prawn so the menu needs adjusting as it says king prawnS. Presentation was poor as everything was just thrown on a plate or a bowl. Overall really not worth the bother or money so overpriced , so many nicer places around this area so give Loch Fyne Ascot a miss.

Felt sorry for the staff. Not worth the money. Last time we go there. Shame. I complained twice. No manager. There was but expecting us to see him at the end of the meal. Wow. Stunned. So livid.

I've been customer for over ten years here now and never was so disappointed with the service.. our waitress did not know if we can order from the main menu ( we couldn't as only valentine's Day menu was offered to all customers that day), wasn't sure if I can order just basket of bread to start with.. she never checked on us ( and it wasnt that busy at the time) and to be honest I couldn't wait to leave. At least food was great as always.. too bad I couldn't order some extra dishes as I left still being hungry..

Excellent quality food, really enjoyed all courses but the main course was the highlight. Our waiter was Jordan and from the start he was attentive and friendly. Will be returning due to the variety on the menu and lovely staff

Went for a meal with my partner, the waitress was attentive and gave advice when asked. We will be returning soon

I visited Loch Fyne in Windsor a week ago for the first time and was greeted by the lovely Jordan , who was our waiter for the evening. I could not fault him at all, his customer service and mannerisms were outstanding. He was so friendly and attentive , he made our experience so worthwhile. Will definitely be returning back to loch Fyne because of him! Thank you Jordan! :)

Visited the restaurant and had a lovely experience due to the lovely ambiance, food and service I received. Jordan was our waiter and from the start he was extremely welcoming, friendly and attentive Jordan made a consistent effort to check in with our table and make sure we had everything we needed and I would return due to the outstanding service I received and delicious food, the menu is varied

We received a very friendly welcome and our table for 6 was ready and waiting for us. Food was amazing as always and the service impeccable thanks to Sheridan and the rest of the team. The restaurant was busy and there were only three servers however there was always a smile and a friendly friendly word. Thank you for making our visit a lovely and fun experience.

Ordered the seafood platter and food was out of this world was really impressed by our waiter Ryan he was excellent at engaging and reading the table and the atmosphere will definitely be back

We had a delicious meal, extremly tasty well done chefs. The restsurant was clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We were served by a young man called Jordan who was an excellent waiter Have recommended the restaurants to friends and family

Amazing food, great atmosphere and absolute brilliant service from the wonderful Liz. Would recommend and will defo be back :)

Popped in several times and always greeted with a smile, warm and friendly service topped off with great food!

The food was great and there was a friendly atmosphere mostly down to the smiley, upbeat service from Sheridan and Ben.

Always loved Loch Fyne in Beaconsfield and was always gutted that it closed down. The Ascot branch is every bit as good. Excellent seafood and great, attentive hospitality. Glad to be back at Loch Fyne. Bravo!

Had an excellent meal there today. Very pleasant atmosphere, warm and cosy and the menu had plenty of options to choose from. The food was delicious and with very good portions. I also recommend the passionfruit martini cocktails, which were excellently prepared by Ben. Will...

Popped in for lunch and was not disappointed. Very easy to locate and the staff were very attentive.

We arrived without a table booking and were seated at a really nice table immediatly. The staff were super friendly. We had starters ( squid. King prawns a Scotch egg and fish cakes), mains ( 3 thai green currys and a fish and chips) and...

We were there for lunch today and had the most delicious warming food, served with a friendly smily by the two male waiters who were running the entire restaurant efficiently and with great charm. We had the haggis scotch egg and salt and pepper calamari...

Great food and excellent service at Ascot Loch Fyne. Loved the seafood grill. James and his team looked after us very well. Highly recommend a visit.

We ate here recently and really enjoyed the food and ambience of the place. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Great selection on the menu enjoyed the visit, would highly recommend to anyone that was thinking of going here! The Ascot restaurant is the best...

Really bland! Disappointing, but kinda expected really, as we’d heard through the grapevine beforehand that they were closing down all their Loch Fynne restaurants, unfortunately it was not a great experience. The Calamari was tasteless and greasy, my salmon dish was supposed to come with...

So sorry guys having driven past this restaurant many times and thinking how inviting it looks my wife and I booked an evening Friday night meal. We left feeling robbed in more way than one. Can I firstly say the staff were brilliant you got...

Visited Loch Fyne for a family catch up recently while staying in the area. Thanks to Caroline and the team for looking after us and making it an enjoyable evening. Food was great. Would highly recommend.

Had a very nice lunch on 13th October Nice atmosphere and extremely friendly , knowledgeable service from Caroline Excellent - thank you Martin

A nice restaurant. The food was very good, not exceptional but nice quality I had the King prawn special starter then the grilled place with fries. The wine was excellent. The waitresses were charming but very inefficient. We had to keep asking twice for everything.

Went here for lunch, had to keep getting up to get someone for anything we needed. Both ordered the seafood mixed grill, not a cheap meal! Everything on it was overcooked and dried out, the prawns wouldn't peel properly due to being overcooked. We didn't...

For very many years we have met friends here for lunch or dinner. So so disappointed, service was slow so more training needed. My salmon was cold and slimy and just after arriving home I was violently sick. We will now have to find another...

We have been meeting our friends at this restaurant for years, but the service is SO slow. The waiter didn't write everything down properly, our friend's salmon was cold & we had to wait ages for coffee, they must gave gone to Brazil to pick...

Before the pandemic we always enjoyed our visits to Loch Fyne. The food always good and the servers were knowledgeable and friendly, especially the lady who used to serve brunch nothing was too much trouble. We had visited after the pandemic to find alas things...

First vist to restaurant was a truly amazing experience ben made us extremely welcome and was the perfect host well done Ben food and service 10 out of ten

I haven’t been to Loch Fyne for years but I’m so glad I’ve found this one in Windsor - the fish was so fresh and beautifully cooked! I had the fish cakes and the Hake, which came with a delicious sauce and sides. The staff...

Rediscovered Loch Fyne in Woodside recently and it was so amazing I’ve come back for the third time this week! The fresh hake is so delicious. I also had two perfect sides of double cooked chips/ a green salad and a cold glass of Chenin...

Me and my wife dined last Friday and had a great meal, we chose to eat off the specials and had tiger prawns and lemon sole, both cooked to perfection! Our server Ben was attentive and looked after us well, will be coming back soon!

Had a wonderful meal on the terrace at lunch time this Monday, was lovely sat in the sun with a glass of wine. Had the fish and chips followed by a sticky toffee pud. would recommend this restaurant to anyone

Smallest lobster, biggest price. What a ridiculous price 37 for a lobster about the same size as the king prawn. Service okay.

We found the Loch Fyne restaurant by chance after a visit to Legoland in July 2022. We have ordered fish as this is the restaurant specialty. We all thought the fish was delicious and the desserts were equally scrumptious. The food was also really good...

My husband and I attended Loch Fyne at the end of July. I have to use a wheelchair and the flat spacious carpark plus the ramp up to the door to the restaurant was absolutely fantastic and put me at ease for a wonderful meal....

Last night we had a lovely night at Loch Fyne. Our server Caroline was very friendly and attentive even though she was busy and clearly over worked! We really enjoyed the squid and the tiger prawns. The kids food was great value. The reason for...

We searched for a Loch Fyne but it seems many of them have closed down, but we found this one in Ascot. We were really looking forward to this, especially their signature dish the seafood platter. It didn’t appear on the menu (even though it...

Meal out of this world. Dressed crab meat could do with being separated. Not everyone likes dark mixed with white.

Very good restaurant experience. Our server Laura was attentive and really friendly. We had our 3 yo grandson with us and my son & daughter in law for a lovely Sunday lunch.

We were advised to try the food by a family member and were so impressed that we are booking again later this month. Such a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff especially Mason who made sure that we had everything we needed.

Went here with my partner Laura really looked after us she was so busy and nothing was a problem for everything we asked for food was absolutely brilliant definitely going back

Great food, ambiance and also even better service by the hostess and our two servers primarily headed by Sheridan. Attentive, courteous and friendly. Will come here again.

Not very friendly or attentive to lone diners. Don't go at off peak times as service is slow and ad hoc. Some staff are spiky. The wifi is bad. The loo was closed when I was there. Food is up and down. I got no...

This restaurant is vastly overrated and very expensive. While it is admittedly a fish restaurant it does serve vegetarian main courses if they can be called such as they are no larger than a starter. I would not recommend there are far better restaurants locally.

Visited today with my family and I had to leave a review! The dinner was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for our brilliant waiter Luke, he was amazing with my children and I can’t praise his efforts enough! The food was brilliant, fast, cooked...

Not good. Food was not as good as it should be. My king prawns were over cooked. My mash was like a purée. 30% of my steak was inedible. A salad should be more than lettuce and cucumbers. Value for money-nope. Drove for 2 hours...

Family lunch, 5 adults. Food and service were average. The mixed seafood grill I had was over cooked and dry, the other mains were fine so must have been sat for a while. Price was ok.

Our waiter Ben was a great sever, the food came out fast and was all delicious. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back just for Ben.

not only did i have a lovely meal, but our server ben was amazing and recommended the best items on the menu, he’s a star ✨

Service was excellent, very friendly, ( especially Laura) they made sure we were well looked after and the food was great I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, have been going for years and will keep doing so :)

Had a table booked with my partner there for one Saturday for dinner. Service was wonderful, food was delicious, staff was very professional. The manager was very nice and and helpful. Can only recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal on valentine's evening, service and food were both exceptional and a wonderful atmosphere to top it off!

Had a really enjoyable meal, service was excellent and the food was great, especially enjoyed the fish and chips!

Went on Valentines night, hadn’t booked but there was space for 4. Told that it was a set menu at £40 each for 4 courses. Choice of about 4 things for each course. The portions were very small, it must have been the smallest prawn...

Advertised as a Burns Supper but no piper, no ode to haggis. They said piper had Covid but they could have played recorded music, they could have processed a Haggis and given ode. Apart from a menu with Haggis Scotch Egg as starter and Haggis...

We ate here today as a treat for my daughter who was really looking forward to the King Prawn Linguine, she was not disappointed, it was excellent. I had the boring Fish and chips, but the cod was beautiful and flaky, perfectly cooked. I enjoyed...

The service was good and the food was nice but rather small portions. I’m sorry there are so few Loch Fyne restaurants now it was a long way to travel from Farnham for what we had.

Met up with a school friend for lunch at Loch Fyne. We decided to just have a starter and dessert, both delicious, beautifully served with friendly and efficient staff

I have generally had good food at Loch Fyne so this review score is impacted by the rather grim panko crusted tuna I ate this week. Everywhere else I have eaten panko crusted tuna the fish has been seared leaving the centre a succulent pink....

We booked a table for four and we’re welcomed by Anna and the team. We all had two courses plus wine and it was lovely, fresh hot food and good service. Recommend and would suggest booking ahead of arrival

Food was fresh and tasty. Anna looked after us, very friendly and quick service! Would highly recommend.

Our whole experience was one of “it used to be SO much better” The main course was tepid and when they said they’d heat it up I had to request a fresh dish (heat up a fish mixed grill? Please!) I’d mentioned on the booking...

To begin with I was impressed with the service and menu but as the meal progressed I became increasingly disappointed. Before ordering I checked with the waiter that I could have 2 starters and still get the “kids eat for free” deal, I also asked...

We were expecting to pay, but were also expecting excellence. We certainly paid - £80 for a couple's 2-course lunch and one glass of wine. The quality pf the four different fish courses was fyne (sorry!), but we would have expected no less. However, the...

I visited this loch fyne having been to several others and was not disappointed! We were greeted at the door by Mason who showed us to a lovely corner table. James served us and was lovely throughout, food was brilliant and was recommended the banana...

After a lovely day out yesterday we decided to stop at lochfyne ascot for dinner on the way back. We’d never been before but always heard good things, we hadn’t booked ahead but thought we’d chance our luck. We were greeted by mason, at the...

We ordered oysters as started and a couple Loch Fyne seafood mixed grill for main, with a bottle of white wine. Food was lovely and oysters were fresh! The service on the other hand, seemed like they wanted to close down half hour earlier then...

We were booked to go to a Loch Fyne restaurant for Mothers Day 2020 when 1st lock down happened. Never dreamed it would be 1 year 4 months and two days until we could next get a booking! Or that we would have to drive...

The restaurant was well laid out, Covid safe with helpful staff. Excellent fish seafood with advice from staff regarding eating, I ate my first tuna steak there, after their recommendation on serving anD it was lovely! would certainly visit again

We can for a Father’s Day and it was a great experience. By far the best Loch Fyne in the area. The food was amazing. Fresh oysters for start which were delicious and as good as we have had in our home of Sicily. The...

Such a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The staff were most welcoming and attentive.Mae was an absolute delight. The food smelt and tasted delicious . The seafood mixed grill was scrummy and the chocolate torte was amazing. I’m going to return soon

Best cheesecake! Perfectly made! Mouth watering, the epitomy of how a real cheesecake should taste with the perfect texture and appearance. Thanls Loch Fyne!

Brilliant service & excellent food, customer service was awesome thank you, food was delicious, will be back soon..

My first time here. Food was amazing, my sea bass was cooked perfectly for me and my squid stater was so tasty, literally melted in my mouth.... the staff were very welcoming and friendly. 10/10 from me

We came by on our way home, it was busy but we were not rushed or made to feel unwelcome. The food is excellent- we had a sea food mix grill and risotto paired with a recommended wine. Buckley and him team were perfect through the evening - from the way we were greeted and walked through how things work (now in Covid times) to the little jokes that had us laughing after an already long drive home. We cannot recommend enough or thank everyone for such a great meal.I highly recommend you ask Buckley for his wine knowledge and recommendations - they are superb and his knowledge is unbelievable. We will be back on our next travel through!

My husband and I fell upon the restaurant as our car broke down and we were looking for somewhere to charge our phones so we could ring the RAC. They were our saviours. Buckley the manager and the rest of the team fitted us in...

Don’t bother to call them for takeaway as they do not pick up their phone. I tried to call numerous times with no luck. I would assume they would be eager to earn some money during current pandemic but I guess I was wrong. I...

We had a lovely meal here but the thing that prompted me to write a review was the service provided by Mason. From the moment that he greeted us at the door he displayed exceptional customer service skills. Thank you for making our evening so...

We came in on our way back from Lego Land (as it was just a few miles in the car, barely 5 minutes drive) and even though the place is clearly popular and busy, the staff still found us a table. We couldn’t fault it- from start to finish it was friendly, great food - especially the kids menus that were 3 courses for around £8... it was exactly what we needed. I spied a little conservatory with candles in that looked great for a date night- a shame we had little ones with us. A big thank you to everyone who welcomed us and looked after us the other day after a long old trek around the land of Lego- we will return when we are in the area again.

We were visiting for a birthday meal for my partner and it was a lovely evening! The service was fantastic start to finsh. The waitresses interacted with my daughter in the highchair and made her feel welcome. Our waitress samantha fixed the wobbly table for...

Exceptionally good thai curry main for me and equally excellent mussels and chips for my mother. The prawns in the prawn cocktail starter tasted as fresh as if they’d come straight from the sea to the dinner plate. Our waitress Frances was as efficient as...

Had a lovely meal thanks to the staff and especially sammy who made us very welcome. Food was excellent as well and good value for money. Well done sammy

Went for a family meal today first visit since they reopened. Couldn't have been happier service, food and Covid measures all top notch.

Ordered whole sea bass but asked for no head. This was ignored. Asked for saute potatoes not boiled new potatoes, which actually were not cooked enough. Were told not possible even though they were served with other dishes. Very different to experience I have had...

Este fue mi primer bloqueo de publicación de salida. Disfruté muchísimo de mi visita, el personal hizo todo lo posible para hacernos sentir cómodos y seguros. La comida era deliciosa y la factura también era buena, ¡porque comer fuera para ayudar! !¡Sin duda volveremos!

Fui a cenar a Loch Fyne con mi esposa y nos sentamos afuera.Las mesas estaban muy tambaleantes.Ostras y champán ordenados como entrante.Llegaron bebidas y ostras, pero lamentablemente los vasos estaban absolutamente sucios, por primera vez se molestaron en reemplazar las bebidas, habíamos terminado las ostras.Llegó el plato principal pero sin bebidas, en este punto decidieron decirme que la botella de vino que pedí estaba agotada.Sí, lo adivinaste, casi terminamos la comida antes de que llegara el vino nuevo.El servicio de recepción fue una broma.Obviamente me quejé sin una disculpa real.Luego escribí una reseña similar a esta.El gerente respondió pidiéndome que lo llamara, lo cual hice esperando algún tipo de disculpa.Todo lo que obtuve fueron excusas y les dije que ahora tenían nuevo personal.¿Cómo compensa eso una noche arruinada, una comida cara y un taxi de regreso desde Staines?Definitivamente no recomendaría este restaurante.

Always really good for lunch or dinner here. Fish cooked perfectly, choice of sides good. If one has room for deserts they are good as well. We have always had excellent service from our waiter.

Excellent service and very tasty menu excellent value for money. Will def be returning. Thank you for making our celebration memorable

I took my wife, son daughter in-law,& six year grandson for lunch yesterday Sunday 23rd Feb. The food, service & comfortable surroundings make this restaurant a lovely place to dine, & there is ample car parking on site.We all enjoyed our lunch & they have a special menu for children too.

Booked for a birthday meal. Hadn’t been for a couple of years but had previously had a good experience. It’s clearly gone downhill since.Service was very slow for most of the evening. When we first arrived, there were only 4 tables occupied but it still took an age to get a drink!When we wanted to pay the the bill, we tried to get the staff attention for over 15 minutes.Food was very average and poor in some cases. Chilli prawns had a hair in them. Yellow fin Tuna was bland and dry and the sticky toffee pudding had clearly been heated in the microwave.All in all, a poor experience which has put me off. I will not be returning anytime soon.

Despite being a restaurant group, Loch Fyne has enough charm and character to make it feel like a homely fish restaurant. The space is open and the decor has a rustic feel while the fresh fish on display adds to the charm. We tried the crispy squid for starters and it was crispy and tasty without being too chewy. The fresh fish we tried was grilled nicely and the fish was fresh and had a nice subtle flavour to lift it. We also ordered a bucket of mussels and we were happy to see they were cooked well. The sauce was nice and light as well and not overly salty which can be the case with mussels some times. The mussels themselves were fresh and meaty and were enough to fill us up. Overall the service was attentive and efficient and the meal was a nice treat.

Service was slow especially with a young child and bit stingy with the giant prawns only 2 otherwise very enjoyable
