Carpenters Arms

Right in the heart of the village of Sunninghill, The Carpenters Arms is a refined yet relaxed Fuller’s country pub and French restaurant that offers something for everyone. Set just a few minutes from Ascot Racecourse and surrounded by scenic Berkshire countryside, it’s as perfect for casual lunches as it is for special dinners.

Inside, you’ll find two distinct halves: one side houses La Cloche, the restaurant serving classic French dishes – especially with influences from the South-West of France – in a bistro-style setting; the other side remains a welcoming lounge pub, ideal for relaxed drinks, live sport and catching up over a beer.

When the weather allows, the large covered terrace at the back adds an alfresco dimension, complete with cosy heaters, outdoor seating, and sports TVs – perfect for enjoying wine on a summer’s afternoon or cuddling up in cooler months.

For events, The Carpenters Arms offers versatile spaces indoors and out, suitable for celebrations, private dining, business gatherings, and larger parties. Whether you want a buffet, a three-course sit-down meal, or just drinks and nibbles, the venue can be tailored to your needs.

Blending a sophisticated French dining experience with the all-round charm of an English village pub — excellent food, thoughtfully curated drinks, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere — The Carpenters Arms is a go-to spot in the Ascot area when you want something special yet relaxed.
