A day at Royal Ascot is very special and dressing accordingly is an important part of the experience. The dress code set out below is designed to help racegoers to dress appropriately for the occasion. Many hosts like to reflect the traditional and special values of Royal Ascot by asking their guests to comply with the Royal Enclosure dress code, although it is not compulsory for this restaurant.
