Not very impressed with the menu as it was very limited for an a la carte menu we were expecting a bit more than pub grub for the price

Had gentleman's afternoon tea, filling and tasty, but unfotunately didn't have a menu on the table and part of it was substituted and we weren't made aware until after when we found out what was missing. Waiter just shrugged it off. Pleasant venue, tasty food, nice presentation, staff could have been more attentive. Have been previously for tea at the weekend, am likely to visit again but not mid-week.

We had a dreadful Saturday night meal.the vegetarian food was very bad and exceptionally overpriced. I won't recommend it to anyone. It used just to be very good but has dreadfully gone downhill.

Cocktails were delicious and made in a timely manner. Staff friendly and attentive. Upstairs dining was quaint and well organised. Space between the courses was perfect. Food served hot and very fresh. It was lovely!

A very nice dinning room. Sadly the initial buzz of the place seems to have died and there were few tables occupied. The wine list is good and realistic. The food was in the main excellent. Steak slightly under. Lamb slightly over. Nicely presented. Overall very good. The waiters were excellent. Less so the waitress. She was more transport cafe than fine dining. Shame really.

The food was good, apart for the fish and chips meal, fish batter soft and bit crispy. Dissapointed. The two gentleman waiters were great and really good at there nob roles. Overall we will return in the future.

The Royal Hotel never disappoints. Beautiful interiors with a cocktail menu that is both delicious and fun! The atmosphere is mellow and friendly and the menu always fresh and exciting. I always find it difficult to choose between the gastronomic treats available, last visit I opted for the delicious vegan offerings whilst my husband enjoyed a streak-there is always something for everyone. The Royal is my favourite haunt in Southend.
