A Massive Parmi and Shared Feast at Aroma @ Ascot
Aroma @ Ascot delivers a hearty, crowd-pleasing spread headlined by a massive chicken parmi and sticky pork ribs, making it a great new option for group dining in Ascot.
Whether you land on the side of calling it a parmi or a parma, the version served at Aroma @ Ascot settles the debate with sheer scale. Arriving at the table topped with melted cheese, bacon, and microgreens alongside a mound of waffle fries and a side salad, this schnitzel brings serious presence to the meal.
We headed down to this kitchen and bar on Racecourse Road just a few weeks after its opening. The setting is built for easy casual dining, featuring a covered patio filled with seated guests and a warm indoor dining space.

Sticky Ribs and Pizza Made to Share
Beyond the towering chicken parmi, our table filled with a generous spread of comforting favourites. We tried the pork ribs served over chips and coleslaw, alongside a pumpkin and lamb pizza. Lifting a slice showed off a cheese stretch, bringing a sweet and savoury balance against the richer meat dishes.
The dishes brought plenty of varied textures across the feast. The combination offered crunchy, sticky, and full-flavoured bites that made sharing across the table genuinely satisfying. We paired the meal with a bottle of Tenute Rossetti Rosso Toscana red wine, clinking glasses on the sheltered outdoor patio.
