The Royal restaurant reviews




Average rating: 4.2
We tried the place for a lunch with a group of six and we can say the staff are friendly and courteous and the ambience is pleasant. The background music was mellow and unobtrusive and there was a fire burning in the bar area. Choice of wines were good, that had been obviously selected by someone with taste. With regards the food, there were a few specials on the board and a menu to choose from. What we had were good although maybe not all as hot as one would want. All in all a nice place we will revisit. PS cheese selection is from Neil's Yard and great.
