RUMOURS have been dispelled that a nightclub could be coming to Ascot.

There had been talk that The Royal Foresters in London Road, which finally closed its doors on April 16 last year before being taken over landlord Greene King, could become a late night venue.

But Greene King has confirmed it intends to stick with its original idea of converting the now-boarded up site into the south-east England's very first Farmhouse Inn restaurant. 

A planning application was submitted by the firm in October and approved back in December, though work has yet to begin.
