"I am reluctant to write negative food reviews, but my recent experience of The Royal Hotel was very disappointing and I make this review in the hope the management will see what was not great and perhaps change it. I have been a regular customer of the hotel for many years, as guest, drinker and diner….and for various reasons have not visited for about a year. The last occasion being a breakfast, which was great…. Not cheap, but good quality, well cooked and very tasty. Fancying a treat my wife and I dropped by for breakfast at 1045….. breakfast being served until 11…. The fact it was near to 11 seemed to be a problem when we were told that unless we got the order in very quickly, we would miss out. I had the full breakfast at £11.00 and to be honest was probably the worst cooked breakfast I have had for ages . The main problem was the bacon…..more fat than meat and undercooked, with large sections of the fat only having had a passing acquaintance with the heat. The sausage which appeared to have cooked through had very little colour and did not look at all appetising. The remainder of the meal was okay. My wife wanting a small breakfast was left with very little choice but to have a breakfast bap as there was no facility to order a smaller ‘Full English’ breakfast on the menu. The bap had the same issue with the bacon and the sausage and was presented as a hamburger…..not ideal from our perspective. Why can’t a smaller version of the full breakfast be offered? I have been a regular user of The Royal as it is a great location with friendly staff…but the fare that was offered to my wife and I today was not even close to what we would expect from it."

We went there on a Monday evening for an early dinner. Our waitress was a lovely young lady, very attentive and friendly. The food was very good as was my husbands. I enquired whether there was a new chef as we’d eaten there before and food wasn’t as good. She informed us that yes the chef was fairly new. Will definitely be going back at some point View menu

Overpriced drinks. Charging central London prices for a view of the sea, at the front of the bar. Lacking atmosphere and quite rowdy. Bar service poor with barman ignoring woman waiting to be served and serving men instead. Entry to outside seating at the back of the building adjacent to the carpark. However, this was manually locked with a pad lock part way through the evening. Some of the drinkers in the outside seemed a little too young

Around 1.15pm on 21.8.23 my daughter was made to feel very awkward by the unwelcoming lady serving drinks.She said she felt like she was interrupting the staff, no smile, no hello. Being in hospitality herself she would never treat customers with such disrespect. We did enjoy our time however as The Boathouse is in a lovely spot and have been before without any problems. But we didn't stay for food considering the experience. On another note the toilets were very shabby and felt more like public toilets than hotel toilets. Admittedly, it's a very busy hotel and bar and there was soap and handcream but the toilet cubicles looked like they needed a really really deep clean. Ingrained dirty flo...
