River Royal Inn reviews
1 Star Review by Brock Symington
Went here with the family, theyre beef burger tasted like it would be on the kids menu, school canteen couldve done a better job. The rump steak tasted like leather. Not going to bother with the risotto. If you want to have a social time with the fam the place is fine, but the food is a rip off and should have school canteen prices to suit its quality. My worse food experience to date price-wise, the place needs Gordon Ramsey to come in.
5 Star Review by Tony Jones
Went for lunch. Menu was simple but covered all the pub food basics. Service was great, food was great. Sat out the back in the sun. Had a nice relaxing time. Would recommend.
