The Oak Room

Specialising in modern English cuisine using the finest ingredients, Great Fosters offers an inspired menu of gourmet food. The hotel is equally popular with our resident guests as well as those seeking a top restaurant and unique evenings out within the Wentworth, Windsor, Hampton Court and Heathrow area. Head Chef Simon Bolsover joined the hotel in February 2008 from Linthwaite House. Many of his loyal brigade followed him to Great Fosters and the team's aim is for the Oak Room to be awarded three rosettes. Neville Merrin, who came with Simon and Michael Meally are the hotel's Sous Chefs. They have built a strong stable team who have an excellent working relationship and share a common goal.
