Coworth Park

Berkshire, United Kingdom

Luxurious country manors within easy access of London don’t come more glamorous than Coworth Park hotel and spa, just outside Ascot. The 17th-century mansion and polo estate has been treated to an intelligent and eco-friendly modern makeover that’s given it three restaurants, a spectacular spa, and an air of quietly confident grandeur.

Food and drink at Coworth Park

• Hotel restaurant

  There are three. At the fine-dining end, Restaurant Coworth Park showcases the chef’s inventive British fare using Cumbrian beef, Middlewhite pork and Cornish bass. The Barn is a more low-key, oak-and-stone affair, where guests can settle by the fire with a pint and plate of pubby comfort food. For breakfast, lunch and snacks, airy café Spatisserie hosts a harmonious meeting of nutritionally balanced spa cuisine and chocolate cake. Afternoon tea is served twice a day in the Drawing Room (and also at the Spatisserie). All restaurants are in demand, so make reservations as soon as you can.

• Dress code Channel Downton Abbey: equestrian get-up by day, debonair eveningwear by night. Go casual in the Barn – no need to kick off those muddy boots.
• Top table We’d head straight for the cosy table for two by the small window on the entrance side of the restaurant. In the Barn, you can eat outdoors when the sun’s shining.
• Last orders Restaurant Coworth Park serves dinner until 9.30pm; the Barn until 9.30pm during the week, and 10pm at weekends. The bar’s open to guests until 1am (non-residents are kicked out at 11.30pm).
• Room service Salads, soup, sandwiches, paninis, chips and more can be ordered to your room, 24 hours a day.
• Hotel bar

  Between the restaurant and the Drawing Room, Coworth Park’s bar has modern-minded kitsch decor (an artsy alternative chandelier spelling out ‘love’, and Julian Wolkenstein horse-with-hair-extension photos), and a colossal cocktail list.
