The Royal Lodge

Absolutely awful woman (I use that word loosely) behind the bar....rude and sarcastic.... told us to go elsewhere if we didn't like it.....plus the prices were so expensive....... do yourself a favour and AVOID like the plague. I hope that barmaid loses her job.

We didn’t stay, but just went for cream teas. They were mediocre dry scones, processed jam and cream. They cost £12 extortionate. And when I checked the bill, a ‘voluntary’ service fee had been added without consultation. Avoid.

We had the most hideous meal where 4 peoples hot food came out and was stone cold. The manager was really rude when dealing with our complaint and got very aggressive and angry it was so unprofessional. Prices were also extortionate. Don’t waste your hard earned money going here!

We had a shocking Sunday roast here and felt ripped off considering it’s £17.95 a pop. Excellent location and loads of good reviews so people seem to like it, but for us it was just a weird experience with bland and tasteless food. We had tried the nearby Saracens Head earlier in the week and regretted not going back for the Sunday lunch there.

I was really looking forward to a Roast dinner and it says outside Carvery served 12.00 5.00pm only to be told upon entering that it is not a carvery! Maybe they should take this rather misleading sign down from outside? The menu sounded nice; however, it was WAY overpriced, it was cold, meat was chewy and all in all, a bitterly disappointing experience.
