The Royal

Really lovely food, I very much enjoyed my scallops starter and linguine however as another reviewer mentioned it was supposed to be king prawn and lobster yet I couldn’t find any lobster so perhaps they just need to amend the menu to state it is just king prawn.. besides that the portion size was perfect and it was really tasty. There is not much by way of atmosphere in the restaurant but the service was great and I think that for the standard of food provided was quite reasonably priced. Would recommend!

Wow! Absolutely delicious food, cooked perfectly. I had the steak and mushroom pie, which was huge, full of large, tender chunks of meat, mushrooms, gravy and the pastry was crisp and golden. Vegetables were also cooked perfectly, not soggy, not raw. Mashed potato was buttery and smooth. With a little pot of extra gravy. All presented beautifully too. My husband had the special chicken stuffed with mozzarella, wrapped in pancetta with a tomato and basil sauce. Also delicious. And the Dauphinouse potato was divine. Best meal out for a long time.

In all honesty a pretty unremarkable place, however the one thing that really stood out was the long-haired Portuguese bartender that really made my afternoon something special, brilliant pints and great banter really made me feel at home at a pub I haven't been to before and for this reason I recommend this place to anyone who is a fan of good pints and a laugh so for this reason I've rated 5-stars, I will definitely come back again.
