We always get a very warm welcome and great service . The food never disappoints and is very reasonably priced with a great selection of dishes including ’Daily Specials’ and currently a Special 2 course lunchtime offer(main & pud) for £12.50 which is served Monday through and including Thursday. If you are not familiar with Laxfield it’s a gorgeous village, full of character, charm and history and you will instantly feel very relaxed and smiley.

Clients are reluctant to engage in conversations with strangers. A bit offish, territorial, stand offish, insular, not teribble friendly; a little prickly.

Proper friendly relaxed local's pub that gives a warm welcome to visitors from staff and locals. I've stayed in the village for a few months and have been very much welcomed in the Royal. Well kept ale, 3 regular pumps and a guest that changes one barrel at a time. Roaring open fire in the winter. Food is great, homely well cooked and reasonably priced. Fresh fish and chips on a Friday including takeaway. Great steaks and burgers, steak specials on Thursday. Children's menu too. Pool, darts and outside seating. Occasional special events and music, certainly worth a visit. Open every day.... Early until late. Cracking atmosphere ...... The kind of place you really want as your local.

This is a village community pub and it is fine for a drink. Food service hours are unfortunately reduced, which is a shame but understandable in the current economic situation. As it is a local pub it’s clientele seems to be almost exclusively local people, so you do get the startled stunned silence and looks of surprise from the regulars when you first go in! The single member of staff on duty when I visited was distracted with conversations about holidays or something similar, that resulted in an few awkward moments just standing in front of the bar feeling a bit ignored. This type of pub is clearly very important to its community but it could try a bit more to appeal to visitors to the area and village as I am sure more people would stop by

Very much a local pub which was reflected in the cold reception we recieved. Despite feeling awkward we stayed as it was the 3rd pub we'd tried to get a table in. The food was alright, wine selection mediocre but sadly the welcome didn't make for a great impression and overall experience.

Lovely pub but my ploughmans was the worst I've ever had. Bread was part-baked from a supermarket and the cheese was plastic, tasteless cheese - rounded at the edges and creases visible from plastic wrapping! All for £9.50 so would have been better to go to the Co-op across the road. Very easy to fix this and hope they offer decent bread and proper cheese soon.

I think some more up-to-date photos would help. These pictures are from when The Angel was in the High St. They are now in the Civic Centre The breakfast is still as good as ever. The service and welcome are good and the food is still excellent Only one slight moan and that would be the price of a cup of coffee: £3.50 for a small cup is too expensive

The owner of this place does not have a clue about running a business which includes giving polite, courteous customer service because she has none of these skills! Off hand, flippant and down right rude are skills she is good at. The staff they employ are inexperienced, ignorant and lacking any customer skills also. Asked if they could serve a flat white coffee they responded, “never heard of it” and when we asked what beer they had the waitress said one in a bottle with a red label and one with a blue label. Unbelievable! Overpriced and the food is very mediocre, we cook better and tastier at home. Never go again and would never recommend. Tip for owner, go on a management course to help your inexperienced staff and while there learn some customer service skills.
