The Royal Arms in Waverley

Great food and friendly staffs with atmosphere.

Had absolutely no idea such an incredible family oriented pub was right on our doorstep. Barmaid was so lovely, the garden is immense with what is EASILY the best children's play area I've ever seen. Will deffo be returning with the children!

Really nice place with good options on food deals. Basket meals for £5!!! Staff were really nice, and you're made to feel welcome.

Excellent place for food. very large portions, friendly staff and with a big garden and large play area for the kids. Will return soon.

A proper Sunday Roast, friendly staff and reasonably priced.

I've just had the most amazing takeaway roast beef dinner. There was so much food; lots of juicy beef, carrots, green beans, cabbage, cauliflower, mashed swede, broccoli, parsnip, roast potatoes topped up with the best Yorkshire pudding I've had in ages and gallons of thick rich gravy. Definitely worth the money in my opinion!

Still a proper boozer and good for a few beers!

JP and the team make you feel really welcome. Great food wit an extensive menu, make it a destination for a family meal. Also has multiple screens showing different sports that caters for the most discerning enthusiast. Pool table and traditional quiz and fruit machines, means it’s always lively with a really good vibe

Great friendly pub. Huge choices of food. Friendly staff dog friendly

Food was amazing so many good flavours and portions, quality and value for money is amazing the service was also so friendly welcoming and so helpful would recommend

Fabulous food definitely go again and recommend it 👌

Beer was great. Friendly atmosphere

Tooo expensive for a slice of Pizza, if that's how you will be running the pub, then good luck, "The Royal Arms" is now closed.

Took a Ramblers group here for Sunday lunch, excellent food, service & price & counted 9 different vegetables on my plate! Definitely recommended, thanks will come again

A warm and friendly greeting at this local pub. Generous portions of the Sunday roasts (and the kids servings), and a pool table. What’s not to like?

Wonderful place! The people were really friendly. Everyone would smile at you. I went there for lunch and it really hit the spot. Delicious! Thank you, everyone. Wishing you pleasant days.

Very polite staff had a great day/evening made to feel welcomed very pleased

First time visiting this pub, as we looked for somewhere to eat on a Saturday evening, after a day spent walking in the area. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming as we settled into the back bar at the side of the splendid log fire. They have a good range of drinks, and the wines we chose hit the spot perfectly. The menu offered standard pub fare, alongside a variety of more unusual, home-prepared meals. The meat, in particular, is sourced from a small local butcher, and if my meal is any indication, the quality is superb. Even the slight delay in serving one of our party was handled so well by the staff that it failed to detract from the experience at all. The evening was rounded off by a live singer, who proved to be so entertaining that we stayed far longer than we intended. All in all, this is a lovely pub, and we will definitely be making a return visit. Well done to all the staff and management (and customers) of the Royal Arms; thank you!

Very friendly staff, had a good time celebrating a family birthday.

I had a really lovely xmas lunch here on sunday and the staff were so nice. I would fully recommend this a place to go from pearl and paul 😊

I used to go there 20 years ago. Not what it used to be

Nice clean pub, pool table, restaurant, friendly staff, JP certainly knows how to run a bar.

Friendly local pub, beautiful log fire and awesome food.

Best pub by far pet friendly and nice people

Always a warm welcome here. Good example of a proper pub

Heard they have an amazing offer at the Royal Arms! Book a room and get complimentary bed bugs and cockroaches. For the specials, they offer you another room which is also infested, then refuse to refund you for the booking! Amazing value. Really high quality product and service. Great job.

DO NOT STAY THERES BEDBUGS!! Sisters partner is currently staying here and he discovered bedbugs in his room and his friends rooms and the manager refusing a refund or offering any alternative accommodation! He has been bitten all over his body and has taken photos and videos to prove it. Actually disgusting and I hope anyone who's stayed here recently has got off lucky because this is actually vile!

Great place for just a drink and catch up with friends or have a wonderful meal as well.

Food, outside seating, and pool room area.

Booked a table here for euros just to arrive and be told we didn’t have a reservation - even if we came in person to book it and called 20 min before to make sure we still have it. Very disappointing, don’t bother making a reservation here Beside this the stuff is ridiculously slow. Having to wait 40 min for 4 pints on a Saturday game just shows how unprepared and incompetent they are and a complete let down for the euros given how they barely had any business for 8 months

4 of us went walking in the nearby Caesar’s Camp and Rowhill Nature Reserve. We booked for lunch at The Royal Arms. We were offered a choice of indoor or outdoor seating - as the temperature was in the twenties, we chose outside in the slightly unkempt garden - a fact which didn't bother any of us one little bit! Service was very attentive, and the landlord happy to crack a joke or two, great choice of beers (well kept cellar obviously) and proper food....nothing pretentious just good food , very well cooked and massive portions. Will be returning. 😎

Nice owners very chatty lovely garden and play area for kids

We stopped off for a lovely coffee and the service was brilliant. Thank you and will see you again. Cheers

Propa no thrills local boozer, staff are amazing.

Good night out at local, Bethany worth her weight in gold, please look after the staff xx

I nicely run family pub. It has the Sunday football as well as Sunday dinner. Very good staff

Nice place, good food and you get a lot for your money. Staff were lovely and the outside seating was plseant enough

Jp and staff are brilliant really good great vibe 😊

Great food, great atmosphere great family pub with a big garden and plenty off activity outside in the summertime

Came here for a roast on a sunny day, we sat outside under shelter , all the children were playing very nicely in the huge garden with trampoline, climbing frame, swings etc, the staff were very friendly and the food was amazing ! , especially the cheesecake!!

It is a great pub and friendly staff and they have rooms if you need somewhere to stay too drunk to drive home

Amazing good food and has everything for families.

Food good. One cask beer which was ok

Good friendly pub with a decent selection of drinks, have a pool table and show sports, they also serve food

Great bar friendly atmosphere, with awesome bar staff

Nice pub. Barstaff very friendly as were there locals.

Cosy and clean. Good selection of beverages x

Not from the area but drove past and decided to stop for food. So glad we did had the steak and ale home cooked pie was absolutely delicious. Staff very friendly. Kids had scampi/chicken fingers good size portions and kids happy. Was very reasonably priced as well. Would recommend and would go back if in the area again.

Really great food and amazing staff would recommend

Staff were polite and efficient. Beer was in good condition, but bar looked tired and the beer garden area was untidy. I'd be happy to pop in and have another pint, but wouldn't take my partner with me.

Nice staff, great food,large beer garden with bouncy castle for the kids.

excellent service and good food will come again

Very Royston in there. Cold atmosphere from the locals and staff. Was wondering which one was the couple who was going to murder us so we never leave to make a review. Couldn't even get a needed drink.

Nice friendly pub went there on Sunday and enjoyed a roast and a couple of beers friendly locals and footy on the telly what's not too like!

Bangers and Mash is delicious... Thanks

Interesting. Kids with cider and straws, great 🔥, ok beer. Groups of lads.

Lovely lunch and plenty of it. Open fire kept us warm and snug on such a cold day.

Really friendly staff and locals. The kitchen had just closed and they reopened it for us. Lovely roaring open fire for winter days.

Disappointing visit after reading all the good reviews.

Great for a quiet drink. Cosy inside. Great outside with play centre and bouncy castle for kids.

Very friendly ... with whats seems to be a large set of regulars

Decent pub, ideal for sport anything on sky sport's really just have ask and the owner, who is very polite and helpful will turn over to one different games have few tvs in pub spread around. The fire is a nice touch especially now nights are getting colder. Puts on a few different theme nights.

Average Food was ok for a quick lunch , reasonably priced and a friendly atmosphere.

Absolutely disgusted with the lack of safety for customers we hired a room for a christening was asured it woukd be cleaned and when we turned up after the church there were wires hanging bags of cement rolled up carpets nails sticking out. Filthy bouncy castles in beer garden which were covered in rubbish slugs and snails and dirty water not fit for animals let alone children needs reporting needless to say we left and went home .

Traditional pub, down to earth, friendly full of character. I stayed some weeks in a room above and enjoyed the hospitality of Denise and the regulars.

Check your change, landlord charged me different to my friends I was with for the same round of drinks. He initially said the same price, and then added extra onto it. Could see on the electronic till that it was the original price he said, not the higher one.
