Royal Hotel DARLINGTON reviews
4 Star Review by Sharon Taylor
Great pub with relaxed vibes and super friendly staff. Food was lovely with the highlight being the southern fried chicken burger. Service was also very efficient so a great place for a meal if you are visiting Carriageworks for a talk/show.
5 Star Review by Jacques du Plooy
Came here for dinner tonight, food was excellent (the chicken schnitzel is a bargain and also great quality). Service was also impeccable, lovely bar staff and managers. Id certainly come back

We went for a team lunch, the staff were really helpful and nice, the food came out quickly and was really good. Meals were reasonably priced.
3 Star Review by Ver-di
Easy place to get pub food and drinks near the University of Sydney. Ask for their specials if you don't mind on what to eat.
3 Star Review by Lee S
Highlight was the selection of hot sauces from USA including California Reaper, Scorpion Chilli and Habanero. On the parma it's a tasty challenge. Otherwise it's certainly an over-rated venue and not as elegant as the photos portray. Service was good, but food is really basic pub grub. In many cases, takeaway would be better. About 10 beers on tap.
