Royal - High Peak

After enjoying a pleasant walk in Kinder, we decided to have lunch at The Royal. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. My wife ordered the fish and chips, but the batter was very soggy. I opted for the steak pie, but the pastry was extremely hard. Additionally, the portions for the main courses were very small. We also found the price of one tonic water and one pint of bitter to be quite high at £38, and did not feel like we received good value for the money.

We dined at this restaurant twice over the weekend and both experiences were incredible. They offer options for vegans, vegetarians, and those with gluten sensitivities, and it is clear that these options were well-thought-out rather than being an afterthought like at many other places. The standout dishes were the vegan Sunday dinner and the garlic mushroom starter. They also have a great selection of beers and wines. We will definitely be returning! These were the best vegan meals I have had in a long time.

Such a lovely pub with a great environment. The staff were all lovely, and the food was absolutely stunning. The portion sizes were great, and all the food was cooked perfectly. Me and my partner loved dining there and will come back, it was all fabulous! I especially recommend the pie of the day

I had the cod today and it was easily one of the best fish n chip meals I have had at a restaurant. The fish was cooked to perfection. Beautiful chips, peas tartare sauce. Loved Estrella on tap. The prices were very reasonable. And the service was perfect too! Would very highly recommend and will be back

We only spent one night at this hotel while visiting a local pub. We received a warm welcome, and the room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, but there was a bit too much of it!
