I can only speak about the beer and the views since we didn't dine indoors. We stopped by after a walk on the Chevin. Even though it was late February, the sun was shining, so we chose to sit outside. I enjoyed a chilled pint while taking in the wonderful scenery. I’ll definitely be back soon and hope to try the food next time!

I'm visiting West Yorkshire from the United States, and The Royalty has become a must-stop destination during my time here. The food and service, especially from Sam and Emma, are outstanding and offer great value. With fantastic views from the beer garden, this place truly has it all in a beautiful setting. I highly recommend visiting—once or even twice!

I had lunch here on January 8th. Although it was quite busy and we had a short wait for a table, the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent! There were five of us: two had chicken and three had pork, and the meat was cooked to perfection. The rest of the meal, which included vegetables, potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding, was also beautifully prepared, hot, and plentiful. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. For dessert, we had the chocolate brownie, which was absolutely to die for—our plates were cleaned! We'll be back soon to eat again. Great staff, 10/10!
