Racegoers enjoyed ‘exquisite’ menus from six michelin-starred chefs including Ollie Dabbous, Brett Graham, Nieves Barragán Mohacho, Raymond Blanc OBE, Simon Rogan and his executive head chef Tom Barnes.
The 1711 by Ascot team also launched the racecourse’s first net zero restaurant, Neutro, in the Village Enclosure. Neutro used locally-sourced produce with a focus on plant-based options and deployed a state-of-the-art food-waste digestion system.
Mark Miller, executive director for Sodexo Live! said: “We are delighted to work with Ascot Racecourse to serve guests at the Royal Meeting in this special Platinum Jubilee year. By launching fresh concepts and welcoming new partners in fine dining, we aim to continually push boundaries in food and create memories that last a lifetime. In this post-pandemic world, we are seeing high demand for hospitality options at every price point, and we have worked hard to open up amazing experiences to every guest.”
Sodexo Live! continued the celebrations through a Jubilee-themed afternoon tea, as well as singing the praises of its own women in leadership in the Official Platinum Jubilee Pageant Commemorative Album.
