What User doesn't like about The Royal Hotel Essendon:
Ordered chilli prawns and the chef must have either hated us or was incompetent. There was far too much chilli on the prawns even for an Asian person used to hot meals. The prawns could not be eaten and the quantity of chilli was sufficient for another 6 meals. A great disappointment given my positive review of other meals some months ago. View all feedback.

Been here before over the years living in Essendon, can be hit and miss, normal pub fare, can be noisy poker machines next door and tab with loud tv

A menu with a specials board and Seniors Meal deal. The staff are pleasant and the food is delivered within reasonable timeframes with drinks at bar prices.
