The Royle in Shropshire

We visited here with friends for the first time. WOW. The food was exceptional as was the service from Sam and Harley. It was difficult to choose what to have as it all sounded good. The four of us all had the black pudding scotch egg. I personally do not like brown sauce but homemade brown sauce that accompanied the egg was delicious. fantastic. Then two had the lamb off the specials board, one had pork belly and the remaining one had the duck. Not one of us could fault anything. All of us were of the opinion it was probably the best meal we had had in a long time. As an aside love the black napkin touch, so good if you have light clothing on. We did mention this to Sam. Looking forward to our next visit when back visiting friends. I am sure they will be back before us.Thanks for a great evening

Have been going here for a number of years and always been great, but….. today my friend found two pieces of string in her meal! She had an apology from the waitress but that was it! No apology from the chef or any recompense whatsoever. The last time we had a Sunday lunch there(which has always been fab) we both found vegetables undercooked and pretty impossible to eat. Don’t know what’s happened but they need to go back to how it was. Will be a while before we go back, if ever!

Visited tonight, I opted for items from the specials board and it didn’t disappoint 😋 Starter was a confit duck leg terrine with a cheddar croquette Main was lamb shoulder with black pudding with red cabbage and aubergine miso purée Both were incredible and beautifully presented Our favourite place in Bridgnorth 🥰

3rd visit here and a positive and a negative.Fist the negative ..the lamb curry on the specials board was not what most would call a proper curry.It was shaped pulled lamb with a curry- style sauce around it .The lamb itself was tender but the sauce was distinctly chip shop style and not the best quality im afraid.It was passable and we ate it but was disappointed as was expecting something more resembling a proper curry.We are from the curry belt area of Black country so do know a good curry. I know specials are a way of inventing dishes to use up rather than waste food but this invention was not one of your best. On the positive side im happy to report a larger chip count that came with the meal.

Sunday lunch was superb great service great food. Large portions so we couldn't manage a sweet!! Roast Beef was very tender and loads of it....plenty of veg ...superb

A fantastic place I stumbled upon . Great food , excellent service , lovely clean environment and fantastic staff, very busy and had to wait , no issues for us as we were waiting all the plates of food coming out look excellent.

Consistently gorgeous food, the Royle is a great place to go for any occasion! There’s always a strong selection of tasty meals with a beautiful specials selection to choose from. The staff are extremely accommodating & there’s a great atmosphere. I would suggest booking to avoid disappointment as the restaurant gets busy!

We visited for lunch.I had the fish and chips which had an anemic batter although the fish was ok but rather salty.I'm restaurant chips always disappoint.My husband had a plain steak baguette which had a sauce over it but he didn't like it It is not good for mobility problems (an old building) However the staff were very pleasant

Excellent Sunday lunch with unbeatable service. Despite being 2pm roast beef and turkey were spot on. Lovely vegetables & accompaniments.

I had heard good things about the Royle form quite a few locals and was expecting something outside of the normal for the area. The prices and small menu suggest higher quality and more care/attention would be going in to the food. On arrival it’s just a pub, plenty of people inside and out enjoying a drink. The restaurant is upstairs in a reasonably small space, add to this the toilets are upstairs so lots of people passing through and intimate isn’t the theme. It is just a pub as well so quite a few locals all wanting to chat to each other and various disturbances are to be expected. Annoyingly due to the age of the building every time someone walked past the table the table moved as well which wasn’t great. The food itself was okay although the menu online is not the same prices as the one in the restaurant. The wife had lasagne which was nice and a good size portion. I had the sirloin steak, I asked for it Medium Rare and glad I did as it arrived on the well done side of medium. The fat was well rendered though so they had paid attention to that. Sides were okay, a few hand cut chips in a small cup and a mix of quite hard vegetables. For desert I went with the dark chocolate tart which was nice, the Wife’s summer fruits trifle wasn’t as expected and was quite disappointing. A large dollop of cream on top of some green fruit with a small piece of short bread. Ideally they should list what they believe summer fruits to be on the menu as I think she expected a traditional summer fruits selection and trifle filling. Service throughout was good, waitresses attentive enough without bothering. Personally I would probably go elsewhere in town as I don’t think the food justified the prices.

Wedding anniversary celebration. The best meal we have had in a long time. Inspired menu and excellent execution. Loved the sherry aperitif, unusual Italian red wine and monbazillac dessert wine. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Well done The Royle. Prices much cheaper than where we live in Berkshire.

My friend and I went for lunch for my 70th birthday treat. The food, atmosphere and service was excellent. I would definitely recommend.

All the food was absolutely gorgeous, portions just the right size & everything including the veg cooked to perfection. Drinks were also first class. Service & waitress were lovely. Highly recommend but book as even on a Tuesday lunch it was full. Thanks to all at Royle

Came here for lunch with a friend, food and service was absolutely amazing. The inside is beautiful with a very friendly atmosphere. Would 100% recommend
