First impressions are a very strong smell of urine as you enter in from the car park,crying out for a refurbished the decor is very tired and worn,has lost it's cosy appeal. No heating on it was very cold,just a portable heater in the corner. Makes me wonder is this a sign of the times. On good note the food was fantastic,in particular the home made pie. 👌
Yesterday me and my friend had a Christmas meal in the conservatory at the Royalty. Food was really nice. Good portion size and great quality. There were lovely views. The staff were friendly, service was good even though it was busy. Well behaved dogs are allowed in the taproom. It's a nice place to stop off after a dog walk on Otley Chevin.
Went for the award winning pies. They were terrible abd came out burnt and so was the chips. I daughter in law abd grand daughter had Sunday dinner. Yorkshire puddings were burnt. Very expensive for such poor food. Food has gone downhill. Don't recommend going for food.
Called in after out walking. We ordered food and the girl who took our order was lovely and friendly. The food was fantastic. I had a hot beef & gravy sandwich with chunky hops and homemade coleslaw. My husband had the pulled pork with fries and coleslaw. Both were piping hot and very tasty. Will definitely be returning to try other dishes
Table for 4 people booked for 12.30. On arrival we were asked if anyone had any allergies. I said yes, to cheese. We ordered very quickly and after an hour asked if our food would be long. We were told 5 minutes. 15 minutes later our food arrived. My cottage pie was smothered in cheese! I sent it back, asked how long another would take without the cheese. Was told they were very busy so it could be a while. I said not to bother and was offered a bowl of chips. I ate half of them. When the bill arrived my sister, who was treating us for an anniversary, said she wasn't happy that the chips (£4.50) were on the bill but the chef said that as I'd eaten some, they had to go on the bill. An anniversary meal ruined! No apologies were offered. All I can say is that the young, new to the job waitress, was lovely.
