What SamG likes about The Royal Hotel:
Had gentleman's afternoon tea, filling and tasty, but unfotunately didn't have a menu on the table and part of it was substituted and we weren't made aware until after when we found out what was missing. Waiter just shrugged it off. Pleasant venue, tasty food, nice presentation, staff could have been more attentive. Have been previously for tea at the weekend, am likely to visit again but not mid-week. View all feedback. What WilliamB doesn't like about The Royal Hotel:
We were not very impressed with the limited menu at this restaurant. We were expecting more options for an a la carte menu, especially considering the price. We were hoping for something more than just typical pub food. View all feedback.

Overall, the general consensus among diners at the restaurant was mixed. Some guests had a less than stellar experience with poor service and disappointing food quality, while others appreciated the cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious cocktails. The restaurant offered a variety of dishes, from traditional English fare to burgers and chicken options. The cleanliness of the hotel was noted by a few reviewers, and the sea view from the balconies was highlighted as a definite plus. While some guests encountered issues with pricing and the overall experience, those who enjoyed their visit recommended the place for drinks at least, if not for a full meal.
