    We had the Lunchtime option of four tapas from the World Options menu and four taster desserts. Priced at £35 for two people, what a bargain. Food quality was great as were the portion sizes. We found the drink prices were very reasonable as well. Definitely recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Two of our group had the world tapas lunch which they really enjoyed. I had the steak and vegetables and cheese dumplings - all very good. I followed with the bread and butter pudding and my friends had the tasting plate of desserts. All of these were delicious.

    Always enjoy our time dining at The Royal, my only negative is many dishes are not served with spoons which makes it difficult if we are sharing dishes.

    We were a party of eight, three went for the steaks which looked good, the rest of us went for the tapas which was excellent. We chose pretty much one of most of them. All were good but the belly pork, prawns pil pil and smoked chicken were outstanding. Drink prices were very reasonable too. Had a great time.

    The food is always very very good, staff are friendly and we weren’t rushed. I do feel prices are a little high for a small town restaurant but this is somewhere for special occasions

    My first visit and I was really impressed with the range of dishes and the quality. It was a bit chilly but we moved tables and that solved that.

    The only thing I would say the cheesecake was lovely but doesn’t taste like honeycomb. The roast was lush 😊

    Disappointing. The Asian pork belly was tough and chewy, there was a whole chunk of fat in the goat curry, and there was a bit too much fresh chilli across the dishes we ordered. We were in the conservatory part and a group of about 20 people, including small children came in. They were horribly noisy throughout our meal, and it was upsetting. I didn’t feel as though I could relax, have a decent conversation or concentrate on my food. The meal was meant to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, so I was left very deflated. Not keen to return, after my first visit some months ago had been really enjoyable.

    Good experience - definitely recommend a visit if you're into tapas (which we are). Recommend Asian Ribs, Prawn Piri, Smoked Shredded Chicken and Cheese Dumplings. Don't go for the goat curry - worst we've had - lumpy bits of fat.

    Had a lovely meal with excellent service. Our table was in the conservatory where the lighting was too bright which spoilt the ambience. In future I will request a table in the bar area.

    This has been the third time eating here on a Sunday. It was a late booking of 16:30, which wasn’t ideal. But understanding as they are always busy. I don’t know if this was why the beef wasn’t its normal standard and the vegetables were a bit too Al dente. It was still ok, just not to their usual standard we thought.

    Absolutely beautiful steak - melt in the mouth. The red wine and shiitake mushroom sauce was amazing. The 4 pudding choice blew us away. We have already recommended the Royal to friends and family! We will be back! 🥰

    We use this restaurant quite regularly and this is the worst experience we have had ! The service was appalling we had to keep reminding the staff that we were ready to order and even then they took a long time to respond! The restaurant was not very busy we were eventually the only diners and did not leave until after 3.15 a full 2hrs 15minutes after arriving! Needless to say we did not leave a tip! We will recommend the restaurant for the choice and quality of food but the service needs to return to its usual standard!
