Food & Drink at Royal Ascot 2022: How Does it Actually Work?
On 14th – 18th June 2022, Royal Ascot 2022 will commence once more: but what’s an event without food? Here’s the low down on everything you need to know about the dining experience this year. There’s a plethora of different dining packages (18, to be exact) from à la carte menus by Michelin-starred chefs, to more casual, flexible options at their clubs. It’s slightly overwhelming, so we’ll break it down.
Your food and drink choices will depend on which enclosure you’re in. If you didn’t know already, there are four enclosures: The Royal Enclosure, Queen Anne Enclosure, Village Enclosure, and Windsor Enclosure. Three of the four are available to the public, apart from The Royal Enclosure, where there’s an application process to becoming a member. If you have a look on their website, you’ll be able to filter the days your going, the affordability, and the enclosure you’re in for more clarity.
