I ate at the Royal with my 6 year old son last night. It is the closest pub to where I live and I just couldn't be bothered cooking dinner so we went out. I was so disappointed with my meal - the chicken schnitzel looked like it hadn't been drained properly and the crumbing was so oily, chips ok and vegies ok but nothing flash. My son had kid's spaghetti bolognese but I happen to find a piece of chicken in there somehow??? I paid $31-00 for this meal and won't be going back. The pub staff were polite but once you sat down you were left up to your own devices to get your drinks etc (standard fare for most pubs).

Approximate cost: $31.00

This place is so average, although being local, I do keep going back about once a year or so. I've had my dessert completely forgotten, then been asked to go and chase it up at the bar after finishing my main meal as the kitchen had shut.
Serving sizes are generous. Food is ok, nothing special though.

This was one of the best pub meals I have had in a while. There is an extensive menu but we both went for an old favourite - Steak 'n chips 'n veges. A 250g rump steak for $23 ... great value and with our Entertainment book 25 % off voucher it was even cheaper. The steak was excellent - tender and moist and cooked just right. I usually get medium which has a fair bit of pink if it is done correctly - and this one did. The chips were large and crisp on the outside, soft on the inside - and hot. The veges were exceptional - plenty of them, steamed and tasty. They were still slightly on the crunchy side which is how they should be - not soft and soggy! A definite place to return to - even without the voucher!
