Can't recommend this pub highly enough, we popped in yesterday afternoon (2nd November) for some food after a lovely walk on the beach. The staff explained that the kitchen was closed for an hour for a break so we waited. The bar maid could not be more helpful to fit 7 of us and a dog, now for the food, it was amazing the best fish and chips I've had for a very long time. Once again highly recommend will visit again even though you're 2 1/2 hours away.

The Royal is a great place to stay. It is very dog-friendly, rooms are very clean and well-appointed. The shower and bathroom are very clean and the shower works well. The bar is open to well-behaved dogs. …

We were visiting friends on our holiday and they recommended The Royal for food and a drink. The bar and setting area was busy but it is worth booking ahead if you have a larger group. The food menu had plenty of options including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. Also there is a children's menu as well.The service was very good considering it was a busy evening. The food arrived in a reasonable time and it was definitely worth the wait. The portion sizes were good and you were not left wanting more.A busy atmosphere but it was enjoyable and relaxing. There are even games and puzzles to entertain yourself or the children whilst you are waiting for food.We would definitely visit here again.

Went one night for food and ended up going every night after for a week. The food is really good with plenty of variety. Probably tried most of the menu between us, it was excellent and very reasonably priced. The staff are very pleasant and the whole pub was full of friendly people and also friendly dogs as it is dog friendly pub. If I come back this way again I will definitely call in. PERFECT 😀

Descent food and drinks at very reasonable prices in a large, no-frills pub. Food stops being served at 19:30. Not a fan of the huge screens showing music videos permanently. Very dog friendly.
