Amazing pub. The location is fantastic in the sunshine, lots of tables inside and out. Very friendly staff and excellent selection of drinks. Food was absolutely amazing.

This place has been refurbed since I last visited and is all the better for it. 6 of us came for lunch today. I was glad I’d booked as it was busy. Although there didn’t seem to be many staff, they were working hard and service was friendly and efficient. We all enjoyed our food and would definitely come back.

Had a lovely dinner the Royal Inn. Our server Charlie was lovely, and really assisted with my allergies. The non gluten menu had a variety of dishes and there were many gluten and dairy free options to choose from. Will definitely be back!

We'd only been here once before, and that was under the previous owners so it's been some time! We were looking for somewhere for a family meal and my husband suggested here. The pub has been nicely done up and it had a really nice feel to it, modern but warm and welcoming. It really is in a great spot with some livy views. Service was good and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. My husband is coeliac so requires a gluten free diet, he found enough on the menu and the servers seemed clued up. Knowing it's part of a well known chain, I was prepared to be a little underwhelmed but our experience definitely exceeded expectation. We'll definitely be back.

We stayed here overnight and what a spot! Beautiful view over the estuary with port and pier view on one side and moody estuary the other. Gorgeous old building, tastefully modernised in to a flowing dining area that gave the feel of little nooks within an open plan area. Gabriella was our hostess with the mostest and gave us a warm welcome from the minute we rang ahead to see if it might be possible to stay in our camper if we had food and drinks in the restaurant. For a small donation to macmillan, it was. Also depends on car park space and enjoying the hospitality of the restaurant. Bonus having brunch in the morning served til 11.15am. Thoroughly recommend a visit. Thanks team Royal Inn! We had a treat of a visit. Xx

Called in for drinks on a wet December evening. The bar doesn't really feel like a pub, more a corridor alongside the bar. The worst thing about the place is the lighting...glaring, bright white overhead lighting gives the place the feeling of an operating theatre or airport bar that you want to leave as soon as possible. We couldn't find anywhere cosy or relaxing to sit without feeling like we were spot lit. Is it always this bright?

The staff were friendly and helpful.the room was spacious, very clean and fresh. We loved the little touches like the hand written note and chocolates The bathroom was spotless and unlike most places we've stayed in, everything worked! There was an excellent choice at breakfast even for those who don't want a fried breakfast. Coffee was a little disappointing though. We ate one evening meal in house: again the staff were friendly and efficient. The menu us not exciting but the food was of a good quality. L in all we really enjoyed our stay and will be back

Three of us with small dog, well behaved of course, went for Sunday lunch. We booked late and were allocated a brilliant spot in the bar area. The only and very slight downside was that we had to take our order to the bar rather than giving our choices to a waiter/ waitress. One of our party was delayed by traffic, but this was no problem to the busy hotel / restaurant. ALL the food was delicious and promptly served. We had a small quibble with the bill and the manager immediately gave us a more significant reduction than our quibble warranted. How brilliant is that? Thank you. In our view this currently is the best of many eating places in Portishead - but book well in advance!

We turned up with 2 wheelchairs and 2 on foot. They didn't turn a hair, seated us, helped move chairs, were super helpful. The food was lovely, very flavoursome. Unfortunately when we went to leave, through no fault of their own the access ramp was blocked. The staff were distraught, gave us drinks while we waited and made sure we were comfortable. All the time we were waiting for the ramp to become clear they were searching for alternative ways to get us to the car park. In the end, thanks to their kindness and help we managed it. We hope the person who was attended by the Paramedics is ok, and send all our thanks to the amazing staff.

Six of us stayed overnight, the rooms were lovely and great choices for breakfast from continental to a lovely cooked breakfast. The manager Kaman was exceptional, nothing was to much trouble for him and I felt he made our stay that little more special. The staff were also excellent. I would definitely eat and stay there again.

We have visited here twice in recent weeks, once for lunch & once for dinner. On both occasions we were greeted with a smile & shown to our table by attentive staff ( but not over the top) On both occasions we were with friends & all ordered different things from the excellent choice of food on two menus. The food arrived in good time & was well presented and tasted delicious for all of us! Can’t wait to go again, we love the atmosphere & decor, tables well spaced. Thank you

Yes, the food was very good but we had had to wait quite a while to be seated, our presence waiting at the bar not even acknowledged! But they were very busy, so we decided to be patient. Eventually we were seated, and our order came after about 20 minutes, not bad considering! My companion had the mushroom and ale pie with peas and new potatoes (which looked yummy and he confirmed was yummy). I went for the chickpea curry with naan bread, poppadom and basmati rice. Very nice indeed! The staff are very pleasant and jolly in spite of being rushed off their feet! As with everywhere now, they don't have enough staff!! The Royal is a beautiful building, well-kept and gorgeously decorated in a wonderful high position overlooking the sea (Bristol Channel). Marvellous views all round. Toilet is pristine! Highly recommended!

After a lovely shopping trip to Bristol city centre me and my family were curious to give The Royal Inn a visit , after many recommendations of the place. This is by far the most impressive pub we’ve been to! The christmas decorations looked lovely, you can tell a lot of time and thought went into making it look special. I was very shocked at how good the prices were so before the food came out I was a little apprehensive. The food was delivered in a decent timely manner and was well presented. Some of us had mixed grills and others had steaks followed by puddings. I would like to show some appreciation for the wonderful Natalie that served us. She was very professional and attentive throughout our experience. We all had a lovely time and definitely will be back again soon!

Decided to revisit this hostelry having had a poor experience on last visit. Overall an improvement in service and customer service. Food has definitely improved in quality and what we ordered on this visit was prompt, hot and good value. Update later visit by my wife - ordered medium/rare steak, received well done( wife is both a first class cook and domestic scientist) was told the steak was as she ordered and as it should be, my wife challenged and then had to wait a further long time to receive the dish which meant people she was dining with had finished their lunch Again, a falling standard in a 2 week period which, in this highly competitive environment in Portishead will lead to using other nearby restaurants before returning here

This is my second visit to The Royal since it was refurbished. I waited until my second visit to review to see if it was as good as i thought. It was. The christmas decor looks amazing and the pub is now cosy and comfy. The food was excellent, very tasty, came out hot and generous portions. My friend is a real foodie and proclaimed that the beef cheeks was one of the best pub meals she’d ever had. Service was also fantastic. We were looked after by Natasha, who seemed to preempt when we needed more drinks, dessert etc. She was friendly and chatty and we couldn’t fault the service. One of the managers saw me try and steal (jokingly) my friends cookie at the end… a few moments later, two cookies (still warm) were presented to us. So thoughtful and much appreciated. I can understand why you have to book so far in advance to get a table…. it’s worth it!

Went for a meal with family and friends, were seated straight away when we walked in and were told Paige would be our server. She came over and took our order for drinks and food when we were ready. All dishes brought out quickly and presented nicely. We had a selection of roasts and the duo of Korean chicken which were all lovely. Paige came back when we were half way through our meals to check on us and then again later on to ask if we wanted any more drinks. Our plates were cleared quickly and then we were asked if we wanted to order any desserts but we decided we were all full and Paige quickly got the bill sorted out for us and said goodbye and Thankyou on our way out. 10/10 visit would go again.

Couple of comments here plus and minus. First, we knew this place years ago as a bit of an ordinary tired pub. Not anymore, its a fantastic site, totally refurbished to a high standard, it must have had a fortune spent on it. We sat...

Very efficient and helpful. Wonderful portion sizes for price. Veg tastes and looks fresh even peas not like bullets as in most of places by my house. Breakfast is good size and can change food around if certain items not wanted.

Thought this place had been closed but was open. Went in for drinks to be told sternly you can only drink in the bar area! I had coffee so ventured to the coffee machine and was told to make it quick then come back to the bar as that area was for diners only. The place was empty. Staff attitude to all the customers we saw in there was awful. Not surprised if it does close or is closing, paying customers should be treated with respect.

We didn't stay as guests but just a large party for the Sunday roast. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The roast was excellent and extras like cauliflower cheese were offered. The hotel is pleasantly decorated and feels homely so was just right as part of the weekend's celebrations for our daughter's 40th birthday.
