The Royal Foresters

You're heading out towards Ascot, past the usual chain sprawl, when you spot The Royal Foresters tucked away on London Road. Inside, it's got that warm, unfussy feel of a proper local boozer that's learned to cook—wood beams, real fireplaces, the kind of place where everyone knows the regulars but newcomers aren't made to feel like outsiders. The kitchen takes itself seriously without being pretentious about it, which is precisely what Bracknell's been crying out for.
