Ascot Restaurant Bar

Situated next to the Royal Ascot Racecourse, this well-liked and lively restaurant boasts a high-quality finish. The former establishment was completely stripped down and extensively renovated, including the addition of a rear extension to increase the floor area. Crown Designs have meticulously transformed a Grade II listed pub into a cutting-edge restaurant and lounge/bar. This renovation involved the installation of the latest AV automation systems and top-of-the-line commercial kitchens. Throughout the process, we carefully gutted the building, ensuring that we preserved its original features while modernising it to meet contemporary standards. The design seamlessly blends historic charm with modern elegance. These heritage elements are complemented by sleek, contemporary furnishings and state-of-the-art lighting, creating a perfect balance between old and new. Lighting: The lighting design plays a crucial role in setting the ambiance. We have incorporated a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting to create a dynamic and inviting environment. Soft, warm LED lights highlight the original architectural features. Pendant lights with modern designs hang over the bar and dining areas, providing focused illumination and adding a touch of sophistication. Additionally, adjustable spotlights are used to highlight artwork and other decorative elements, creating visual interest and depth. The furnishings and decor feature a mix of natural materials, such as wood and leather, in earthy tones, further enhancing the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Subtle pops of colour are introduced through artwork, cushions, and other accessories, adding vibrancy and personality to the space. Outdoor Seating Area: The transformation extends beyond the interior to include a beautifully designed outdoor seating and garden area. This space offers a tranquil retreat where guests can enjoy their meals and drinks in a serene, natural setting. Crown Designs developed this bar by initially generating mood boards and CAD designs to evaluate which concept best aligned with the restaurant's aesthetic.
