    Saturday Lunch with family. Great meal and non-intrusive service as always. Started with a selection of pre-starters. Excellently cooked ribeye steaks for main, which we could not fault. Desserts were the new Eton Mess on the menu, which was fruity and flavoursome. Great local restaurant.

    Although there were very few in the restaurant at 1pm we were ignored for too long after being shown to our table, not having the opportunity of ordering a drink.. We had wanted to book at 1.15 but were prevented from doing so; in fact only 2 people came in around that time. Most tables were empty for long after our arrival. Food was very good but very expensive for what it was.

    Birthday meal but the usual great food was not great at all. Had the cod swimming in a brown /cream sludge of cauliflower puree .Totally tasteless . Skin of the cod was soft and not crispy and burnt bacon lardons on top . Niçoise salad was soaked in dressing . Daughter’s steak was returned as well done not medium rare .Had to wait ages for that. The first time I’ve had a poor meal . Shame

    This is the second time we’ve visited Roy’s Restaurant, the first time we had the lunch menu and it was excellent. This time, however, was disappointing. We chose the Al la Carte menu. My husband had Penne with smoked salmon, which was rather chewy (maybe overcooked?); I chose pork chop, crispy potatoes and green beans. However, I was almost half way through the meal before the beans arrived! It really doesn’t take half an hour to cook frozen beans! However the chop was good. Our conclusion was that because most people choose the lunch menu during the day, they cater more for that than the Al la Carte menu during the day. We will return but will only have the lunch option if dining during the day.

    The restaurant was actually quite quiet. It was a Sunday at 1400hrs, and there was only 2 other tables in use. The food was good and overall we had a very good time. Felt little sorry for the waitress who was having to do everything on her own.
    Roy's RestaurantResponded on 26 June 2025
    Thank you so much for your valued review and I am glad you had an enjoyable lunch. Unfortunately, when the weather is quite nice during a lunch period, occasionally we have less bookings, however prior to your booking we were very busy with breakfasts and early lunches. Our staff rota is monitored through busy and quiet times and the FOH manager who was working on Sunday felt there was no need for additional staff that day. I do apologise if you encountered any delays with service. Kind regards Alison

    Last min decision to go out for dinner last night, and Roys did not disappoint. Excellent menu and food outstanding. Good size portions, even the house wine (we had pinot noir) was lovely. Great staff, great atmosphere, would recommend.
