Royal Hotel Restaurant in Orkney Islands

The Royal usually does Fish and Chips on a friday night - you should book by calling ( see Hoy Facebook page for latest news ). We have been sampling Fish and Chips across the Highlands and Islands over the last several years and we are happy to report that the Longhope Fish and Chips are the best - thanks Alan and Sabine , great work. Oh , and it's always a nice wee night in the traditional bar with open fire and draught lager. Loved it.

Very comfortable hotel quality accommodation with nice rooms good enough for Royalty , three different Kings to be precise as well as one of the best bars in the county . great fish and chips in convivial atmosphere.

Run by a charming man Allan and used by locals who provide a warm friendly atmosphere real coal fire and comfy seats. Traditional pub and chat in longhope. Parking for motorhomes if you use the facilities and spend money then parking is free. Food not available currently but may be soon.

Great food, friendly host and an amazing location. It’s always best to book your meal, I would highly recommend to everyone.

This is one of the best pubs i have been in in a long time. The fish and chips is the best i have ever tasted you wont get better Alan is grate crack too.makes you feel as if you have known him for years

Absolutely fantastic night ! Wonderful atmosphere, fish and chips, whisky selection and above all the amazing hospitality of Alan! Thanks for a night to be remembered!

Another great night with mine Hosts Allan and Jules. Great craic , great beer and whisky , great atmosphere. Love it ! The Royal is for sale now so hopefully the new owners will maintain the same high standards.

We were booked into the Royal through work and were the only ones staying in the rooms. Alan made us feel as if we were family, giving is run of the place. The locals in the pub at night made us feel extremely welcome (I think there may have been a marriage proposal at one point). Alan hadn't been told we needed fed, having not eaten for quite a while, but this was no problem as he rustled up 5 of the biggest portions of fish and chips you could imagine! The "deserts" were very tasty too..😉 The Royal is everything that is good about island life, with the locals helping themselves to drink whilst our host was cooking, but making sure he was paid. I particularly like the " room keys? Dont need keys here lads"; and we didn't.

We stayed at the Cantick Head Lighthouse Cottage and Beth recommended we eat here for dinner. Very limited menu but we both had the fish and chips and home-made cheesecake and they were delicious. It was a cosy pub with locals coming and going during the 2 hours we were there. The owners made sure everyone was cared for and were nice to give us some samples of whiskey. We bought a friend some Glen Morangie whiskey based his recommendation and our friend loved it. They have a huge friendly dog (sorry...can't remember his name) that greeted everyone who entered and lounged in front of the fire. This was one of the highlights of our trip around Scotland. We enjoyed the food and sitting there talking to the locals.It was easy to find on the main road.
