Royal Hotel

I used to work at this venue and the pleasant friendly atmosphere was always something I loved. I can't express how much Beck behind the bar makes everybody feel welcome and gives the best service. I will continue to visit because it is the local and you feel welcome every time. Keep up the good work and again special thanks to Beck for making me enjoy myself every visit! Thank you again

I had the pleasure of dropping into the Royal on a mission for a much-needed pint of the coldest Carlton Draught I could get my hands on after a 15hr flight I (somehow, temporarily) do monthly from San Francisco to see my bloke while we work out his visa. I’d say getting my grubby little American hands on the vastly superior Aussie beers may just be tied for first place level of excitement, he certainly had competition, and understood that fully. Alas, I digress. After popping into the shops close by for some essentials, I recognized the need to satisfy my deepest desire to scour the neighborhood for a suitable pub to crash until he knocked off site up the road. Boy, did I get lucky, the Royal was exactly what I was looking for - down to earth, invitingly cozy, friendly, and didn’t immediately burn me at the stake for ordering a pint in my (very obvious) voice. I get it, it’s totally valid. The second an American enters a pub, everyone knows. Or anywhere, we deserve it, we’re annoying, you’re not wrong. But this wasn’t my first rodeo, colloquial pun intended. I attempted to enter quietly and unassumingly, dumped my shopping bags next to my chosen high top table. I originally intended to keep to myself and enjoy the pokies a bit to pass the time. That didn’t last long, as I stuck out like a sore thumb, but not in a bad way. I recognized a group behind me immediately that seemed to get on like a house on fire, close as blood even if they weren’t. One by one, friendly but inquisitive faces came up to chat, and it wasn’t long before I was fully (and happily) absorbed by such a welcoming group. From the bartenders, to the house manager, to the patrons that love the Royal as their home, I was welcomed with open arms, as they insisted I didn’t sit by myself. I can’t emphasize how nice everyone was here, especially as my original intent was to be the least disruptive presence in their spot. I rocked up around midday, and by 15:30 when my boyfriend finally came to fetch me, he was met with excited exclamations from each person he walked past - “Oh you’re Matt! You’re finally here!” He actually had trouble finding me at first, as I was enjoying everyone’s company & banter too deep in the thick of it to notice the time. All I can say about this place is thank you to the staff and patrons for your overwhelming and genuine kindness, I had an absolutely wonderful time getting to know all of you. The Royal is a beautiful, special, authentic spot that I won’t ever forget.

Went here with a mate cause we heard the steak was pretty good. OMG
I'll be back again, chose mash and veg and egg on top and it was probably the best ALH steak I've had.
The drive was easy too.
My mate said the calamari rings were spot on too.
Love the old doors with the long windows looking out onto the street a nice pub !

Our family had a delightful Mothers Day at The Royal Hotel.

The food was yummy, and the service was prompt, friendly and understanding.

And as a lovely gesture, all mothers/grandmothers/caregivers dining on Mothers Day received a complimentary glass of white wine, a reed diffuser and scented candle. A lovely touch to a lovely afternoon meal.

Superbly produced food with some of the best customer service that I've ever had the joy of experiencing. Thank you one and all,(Bek), for a great night. We'll be back before you know it......Great work
