About Belvedere Arms
On London Rd in Ascot, Belvedere Arms is a pub with stripped floors, chunky tables and a central fireplace. Dogs are welcome throughout, with blankets provided for them to settle on. The kitchen runs a Modern British menu, with scallops as a starter option and roast dinners, including pork and a duo of beef, a recurring order; crumble covers dessert. Food runners bring dishes to the table rather than diners collecting at the bar. Seating stretches from a beer garden to booth areas, and it operates on a walk-in basis with no reservations taken. Sunday evenings and other busy occasions can bring longer waits for mains. On-site parking is available, with entry monitored by number-plate camera.

Customer Review Summary
The roast dinner draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers singling out the pork, a scallops starter, and a duo of beef alongside a crumble described as one of the best they'd had. Close behind, several call out the dog-friendly welcome, with one describing a blanket brought out for their dog and another noting fluffy companions accommodated for a birthday group. Service is repeatedly called friendly and attentive, even when tables were large or filled with young children. One diner does describe a slower Father's Day sitting, with mains taking over an hour and having to request a steak knife, though they said they'd return at a quieter time. A more serious complaint comes from one reviewer who reports a strong seafood smell on arrival and says their fish and chips smelled off, with the kitchen insisting it was normal for haddock. Most other visits, however, describe warm food, easy parking, and a welcoming atmosphere.

“Had a really great time at The Belvedere! The atmosphere was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. A special shout-out to George, Jarryn, and Robert behind the bar — they were all friendly, attentive, and made us feel really welcome. Rianna and Louisa were also brilliant, and the food runners did a great job keeping everything running smoothly. Overall, a lovely experience and definitely a pub we’d be happy to visit again. Highly recommend!”

“We were there for father's day. Firstly, its a lovely pub. The food was amazing. The let downs were the fact it took over a hour to be served mains and I get it was busy for the occasion but it would have been better for staff to recognise this and provide updates. Also I ordered steak but I had to ask for a steak knife. Its very rare for me to give a 3☆ and say I'd definitely come back at a less busier time but I'll be coming back 💯 as this may become a regular for when im seeking a food craving!”

“We've visited your place on Saturday. Great place and we were really impressed sitting in the beer garden. There was a bit of a strong smell of seafood when we entered though. Squid was great and that's why we decided to order fish after. Unfortunately our fish and chips reeked. Literally smelled like fish was off and belonged in a bin long time ago. For some reason chef decided to serve it anyway. Luckily we haven't touched it and saved ourselves a lot of trouble. I know how fresh fish smells, I've spent nearly a decade working as a chef in Italian restaurants in UK and Italy. This fish has turned a couple of days ago, but regardless, chef passed us a message that that is how haddock smells when fresh.... I'm sorry but you need to speak with your kitchen staff about standards.”
