Royal Standard in Liverpool

My sister,myself and two granddaughters went for Sunday Roast. Disgusting. Beef was like leather,rest of dinner was cold. No one came to see if everything was ok. Won't be recommending to my worst enemy

It is what it is a pub that does food

Always a lovely pub to have a pint in.

We booked a family meal for my sons birthday, ben and the team couldn't do enough for us all great service with a smile, catered for everyone's needs, thanks ben and team 👍

I've been coming here for years as it's my local..The food is always good.. plenty to eat.. well presented..lovely clean pub..staff are friendly and welcoming..5 star 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Ben was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Always a positive experience in the standard ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food delivered hot and tasty

Excellent service, we came to celebrate a milestone birthday, the staff where helpful and the food and drink service was 100%. Happily recommend the Royal Standard for family meals and celebrations

Our family members enjoyed a really good evening meal on 20/9 in the restaurant with a selection of steaks, curry and burgers, finished with various desserts, all our company enjoyed the food , drinks. Many thanks to Ben who served our table. Worth mentioning it was less expensive than other eateries in West Derby.

£3.20 for a small bottle of water.

we really enjoyed our time here. The pub is dog friendly and our Luna was welcomed and fussed over and she was very happy. Ben and Liam were great servers ~ friendly, helpful and efficient. We had the steak and ale pie with chips and it was the best pie I've had in a long time. We will definitely be returning again - frequently! Thank you Ben and Liam.

Lovely hot pub grub. Great for a spare of the moment meet up. Staff Ben and Laura couldn’t do enough for us. Polite and cheer. Makes a difference. Service with a smile.

Much better than the sefton arms down the road, really pleasant place to be. Food a lot better despite exact same menu from a chain pub! Decent beer garden and good service

Visiting friends In the area and they suggested the Royal Standard. On the plus side the staff were friendly and the service was good and attentive. However my food was well below par. I had the vegan burger and the bun was hard and inedible. It seemed like it had been frozen and had freezer burn. One of my friends said they had had a similar problem the previous month. Didn’t say anything to staff at the time as I was out with friends. However, I called later that day to provide feedback and was told the duty manager was busy but to call back in 10 minutes and he would be available. Well, I called back 10 minutes later- several times- and no one picked up the phone. Disappointing.

The food is freshly prepared and cooked, and the staff is quite pleasant and the setting is really cozy. Always friendly and with an excellent selection of cuisine.

Had yet another lovely lunch. The food was good quality and really hot on arrival. The staff were as friendly as always. You are made to feel welcome by the staff . The tables in the restaurant area are kept very clean with staff ensuring a high standard is met each time. I would recommend anyone to visit for a nice reasonable priced good quality meal.

Best pub in liverpool well Better than the sevvo staff are poper sound an sort ye out an get rid of all the helmets Ben an nathan are sick proper sorted us an deffo come back

Went mid week for evening meal. Nice food, great value for money. Friendly and polite staff.

This is first time I’ve visited this place, overall a pleasant experience. We was in a group of 6 with a 2 month old baby and had booked a table. On arrival the table was a decent size for 6 people didn’t feel too squashed and was able to get a pram next to it. The atmosphere was as would be expected from a local pub, some of the staff in the venue didn’t look to be in the best of spirits but all the staff that we were served by were great. The food was all served fast when it was ordered all came out correct with no issues. No pictures were taken of the mains. But everyone was happy and it was a good selection of dishes from the menu from small plates, steak, to burgers and salt & pepper chicken. Desserts where nice but I wouldn’t go just for them, large and mini brownies where quite generic tasting, others at the table said that there was nice but nothing of the ordinary. Overall I’d recommend it and visit it again, they do BLUE-LIGHT DISCOUNT so worth bearing this in mind.

Went for lunch. Wife had a steak that had to be sent back, the steak was poor and full of fat, asked for medium rare and got a steak that was over cooked and like a brick. The mixed grill was worse. The sausages were undercooked and greasy, the pepper corn sauce was thick and lumpy with an unusual bitter taste and the steak was also like a brick and full of fat. Both meals were returned, while the streaks were being replaced they obviously put the food under a hot light as when it come back to the table the egg was hard and the tomato and chips were solid. I wouldn't recommend the food here, it wasn't to a good standard, service was good but the entire pub was quite quiet

Been our local for a few years. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Nice relaxed atmosphere, gets busy on match days and around teatime. Quiz night is always a laugh. Food is nice and reasonably priced

Food normally good as well this time horrid sorry but it was

Food arrived cold, it was then reheated and came back burnt....won't be back🤮

A busy pub with some lovely grub

Been frequently over the last year and never fails to hit the spot. The food is really good. Branded pub menu but delivered really well. Chef happy to modify my awkward burger choice. Front of house team are great. Nothing is too much trouble and everything feels organised and effortless. Our go to place because it’s so consistent.

Good old fashioned pub nice pint and great food

Wow omg food is exceptional staff r so friendly and helpful lovely atmosphere highly recommended

Popped in for a spot of lunch which was very good and value for money, but was very impressed by a member of staff who looked after a blind couple on the next table,nothing was too much trouble and she was absolutely brilliant and Very attentive to there needs, sorry I didn't get her name ,

The manager was more than helpful and the food was delicious.We will definitely come back.

Thank you so much for a lovely evening xx met up with friends and family to celebrate our 25th anniversary ❤️ food was gorgeous, staff lovely and very helpful x lovely evening had by all x will definitely see you again soon 😊

"Great night at this reliably friendly pub... good food and beer and atmosphere as always the food was very good. The ambience also good plus the service absolutely excellent. They always make a dog welcome too which always good for our fury friends . Love this place. It's not 'cheap' but it's good value and the atmosphere is perfect. Plus the Guinness is devine ."

We had our annual first date meal enjoyed it emecley and the food was hot and very tasty and a lovely time with the staff who as usual Amazing 👏

Brilliant little pub, had not been there before but was a cracking place, staff were excellent, good selection of beers, and we only had a side food wise but will be going back for a full meal as everything that came out of kitchen looked and smelled fantastic, good screens for sports and good music on the background once the football finished, Top notch and another boss place found for food and drinks

Just awful !! Really disappointed, been here loads of times, but can honestly say never ever again. Came for a Sunday roast! Worse thing is we invited family to join us !!! Shocking!!! the roast dinners were uneditable ! Really awful as in dry and tasteless. The menu states pink roast beef - don’t be fooled it’s awful, dry, chewy, brown and overcooked! To be honest it didn’t even taste of beef ! The salt on the table and the gravy pot made it bearable so thanks for that!!! Service was terrible too!!! Had to asked for the table to be cleared as we sat for over half n hour with half finished plates and the place was empty !!! The biggest insult was the male member of staff with mid length hair (again not want you want to see hanging down when serving you and his very bored and rude attitude to match) that came over to tell us we hadn’t ordered a kids meal so we could have the deal!! Really the fact we had booked a high chair and ordered the drink and main meal but we didn’t actually ask for the desert at the time of ordering and paying at the till! Good places don’t ask this ! We had a stand off at the table over a child’s ice cream but he was adamant we had to pay for it ! We are gutted at this as we spent over £600 here on Christmas Day but WE most definitely won’t be returning and WE WILL most definitely will tell people to avoid !!! Please anyone reading this just AVOID AVOID AVOID !

Lovely friendly pub, great service, great food and lovely staff

Absolutely fabulous food, service is quick and food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. Special mention to Ben, Owen, Laura, Janine and Lisa, as we stayed for drinks too. This is such a wonderfully friendly place to eat and drink. Can't recommend this place highly enough. Thank you to all the team!!

Great local pub .. friendly staff and great food

Lovely and welcoming. Great food.

Nice pub, with big tv screens. Dog friendly to.

Love going for lunch here, food is excellent especially steak and chips x

Another cracking lunch here well done folks very helpful staff nothing ever a problem Keep it up +++++

Always a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Was my regular for many years before I moved away and its always good to go back

We got small plates food was lovely and Anne was great thank you

With this being our pub of choice over the last few years , we were very happy to be spending Christmas Day having dinner at the Royal Standard We arrived early so had a few drinks with friends in the bar area. Christmas is a great time of year to catch up with friends and family, new and old. The Royal Standard has an all round great feel and ambience to the place . This is magnified at Christmas with the addition of the fantastic décor and general warmth of all the staff and customers. Once our table was ready, we were taken to our seating area by a wonderful member of staff called Ben . Ben has worked at this establishment for some time now but is clearly at the pinnacle of customer centricity with regard to hosting and customer service. The table itself was delightfully decorated and you could already tell that Kath and her team at the venue had been planning this event with the upmost attention to detail. The starters arrived at the table and words cannot describe just how mouthwatering-ly good this was. Needless to say , the plate was empty in super quick time. Being a traditionalist I was always going to look forward to the main course. The meats were expertly cooked and served with a delightful mix of carrots, parsnips and sweede, mash, roasties, greens, stuffing and a gravy that had not only a wonderful taste but a texture that helps to cover the plate of delicious food. The plates were well stacked , the meat was very, very tender and the vegetables were perfect, gravy moreish. Even though I was absolutely stuffed, the allure of their Christmas pudding was too hard to resist... SO DREAMY. A big thanks to Ben and Kath for making the day so memorable . All the staff at this venue actually feel like friends these days . The level of service is beyond what I would call excellent. A massive thank you to you all. “Customers who love you will market for you more powerfully than you can possibly market yourself.” See you all again soon .

Just been here for a steak and a pint bit expensive but really nice all the same

Called in on passing. Never been before but will do again. Bit noisy because of no carpets but was still a pleasant experience. Food was lovely and hot. I had hunters chicken and hubby had chicken and ham pie. Both were delicious. Very pleasant staff

Hunters chicken perfect as usual lovely atmosphere and live sport to watch. Brilliant meal and experience.

Visited this pub on new years day for dinner fabulous service and food was amazing well done to all would definitely revisit

We use the Standard on probably a weekly basis and are always pleased with both the food and service. We decided to try their Christmas Day menu and booked this in advance. The whole experience was excellent - the food was really good quality, well cooked and presented. The staff were really friendly and helpful and a table service for drinks was a really good idea as the bar was very busy. We had a really relaxed and enjoyable time and will definitely be booking this for next year as soon as available. Took all the usual hassle out of Christmas Day together with no washing up.

After moving into the area almost two years ago, we often go into The Standard for food and drinks. This has been the second Christmas we have gone as a family for Christmas dinner. The staff there are second to none. We are always made to feel welcome and are very well looked after. The food is beautiful and the atmosphere makes you return again and again. Special thank you to Ben for organising our Christmas dinner with such excellent precision! We absolutely loved our day, Ben. Thanks to Amy for taking care of us & making sure we had everything we needed, and thanks to Katheryn for running the best pub there is in West Derby. We’ll see you all really soon!

Wife and son had Christmas dinner here today (Christmas Day) and everything was fabulous. The food itself, portion sizes to the attentiveness of all the staff, who worked their socks off to make everyones Christmas day at the Royal Standard memorable. ( And my free carry-out Christmas dinner to take to work with me was fab too, and a lovely touch from Kathryn). Well done one and all 👏👏👏

Great little pub food is of good quality highly recommend.

Went here today for festive lunch, the food was lovely with an absolutely fabulous cheesecake, staff were lovely and friendly. Drinks a tad expensive but all round was a lo ely visit.

I always come the Royal Standard for Match days and enjoy my experience every time I’m there. The food is outstanding and the staff are lovely.

Visited here on Wednesday for lunch with 3 friends. Enjoyed the seniors menu, great choice and price. Staff although very busy were very polite and helpful. Blonde haired lady, nothing was too much of an ask. We will be back next month and are looking forward to it.

Great family pub, nice decor, excellent food, pleasant staff.

This used to be a nice treat for lunch time but it’s gone downhill massively lately. It’s now full of underaged kids watching loud videos on their phones and other noisy drunks. My brunch was missing sausages, and when it was corrected, the sausages were hardly cooked. I won’t be back any time soon.

First time visit for Sunday Lunch, very disappointed. Menu stated beef served as “pink” whereas when it arrived it was tough and grisly. Personally, I believe that “roast potatoes” are a big part of the Sunday Roast however it was hard to decipher the roast potatoes and the vegetables served, the roast potatoes were that small!! One small potato cut into cubes. Meanwhile, the apple crumble was nice. Wish I would have taken a picture before writing a review!

Watched Wolves vs Liverpool here, it was 'bouncing', very lively and the atmosphere was tremendous. The drinks were cold and went down with ease, the staff were very welcoming inside the very busy establishment. Will definitely go back and try the food again but maybe when it is a bit quieter. Noticed the was a fenced off beer garden attached to the rear, also a car park for about 20 cars to the side.

We didnt have a table booked but the staff made an effort and got us a table at a bust time. Lovely food and came quick

Friendly pub, no overbearing music/TV noise. Good pint of cask ale.

Foods like rubber,chicken, told staff not helpful and said that's how it comes didn't evensay have the pudding on us won't be going there again

Food not very good, chicken was like rubber and tastless. I went with two friends for lunch and they said the same

Nice food served here, great service

Nice big friendly pub with plenty of staff to serve you.

Excellent place for a birthday celebration

Went here with family to celebrate my daughters birthday. We booked the upstairs room free of charge which easily seated 12 of us. Lovely friendly service from Amy at the bar and food was delicious especially the curry. We will definitely be going back again.

Had a lovely meal with friends here on Tuesday 18/7/23. Very friendly staff Lisa and Ben served us at the bar. Our meals were served by the new deputy manager Steven, he was very friendly. Always good service and value for money. Thank you

We have recently visited Royal Standard, we loved it, and the service and quality you could not fault. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Our visit was a very pleasing, relaxing, one. The staff were so friendly , and even when we finished our food and moved to a padded seating area we still received a brilliant service. It is not surprising that the upstairs area is popular for holding special get togethers. Definitely recommend for good food and good atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing food, service was incredibly especially from Ben and Ann, they couldn’t do enough for us, are polite and have amazing attention to detail. Very reasonable for price and the quality of food was amazing. Will definitely be returning

Great pub, great choice of drinks , food amazing, staff even better, dead friendly wud defo recommend going

Food ok. As usual Greene King ale very uninspiring. Staff don't give a ......work it out....

Nice pub with a good atmosphere. Also a beer garden

Paid a flying visit from Hull to a christening in Liverpool. Decided to try for a pub meal in the area before driving back. The meals were amazing, best we've had for a while. Only wish we lived nearer, would make it a weekly treat! Thanks so much to all.

Food was amazing very friendly staff will defo go again

Cosy, staff r the best.. draft is spot on, all the footy on when it's on, good for a family meal aswell 🔥

Lovely meal and staff are lovely service was great from start to finish

This is my local pub,I feel welcome every time I come in, staff are lovely, toilets are cleanest around. Would highly recommend a visit.

A nice pub and excellent food. Love it

Had a fantastic meal here tonight. Could not fault the service and would like to say how welcome we were made by Nicola the server. So friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely meal with my mum and sister in law yesterday for Mother’s Day. Atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. Mum loved it. Thank you for a special day

My husband and i visited this pub for the first time today,the food was lovely and of a high standard of produce,the staff are friendly and helpful and attentive.We are definitely going back and will take friends and family. And lots of room on the car park.

Our first time here and felt such a really lovely atmosphere...very relaxed and friendly staff.

Called yesterday evening with a friend, we didn’t have a booking but we were accommodated with no issue. Meal was great, had to ask for steak to be cooked a little more but this was no issue and rectified immediately. Although busy the atmosphere was great. Staff were friendly and very helpful especially the young lady who first sat us. Thanks for another lovely night.

Really friendly place for a cheap bite to eat and a pint

Lovely place to visit very nice atmosphere and the food is good 👍 excellent place to visit

We have been going to Royal standard for many years in the afternoon mostly. Have always enjoyed the meals, staff are friendly, prompt & lovely. Very good value for money.

Went with a friend had a couple of drinks and food couldn't fault food or service

The bar staff where great, the duty manager on shift wasn't the best. She seemed angry. Not welcoming.

Pleasant little boozer with a weekly quiz

Lovely staff lovely food reasonable prices

The big breakfast in this pub , is one of the best in the area, try it for yourself it’s that good, I’ve been to most places around west derby and surrounding areas , you won’t get a better breakfast anywhere

Took my mum and nieces here they loved the food and atmosphere
