The coffee shop was easy to find. Comfortable seating outside the store. Service was excellent and the staff friendly. It was a good location to catch up and have a chat.

Excellent welcome provided by an ethos attic and friendly staff. The coffee and donuts are excellent too. This is a very good place to rest while visiting the lakeside complex and a ready welcome awaits all those that make the effort to find it.

I have been here a couple of times for a drink. But this time, I had something to eat. From the outside, The Royal looks like it needs some tlc. The outside seating area could also be improved with some potted plants and fairy lights to make it feel more cosy. However, when you enter the restaurant, it is fresh and newly decorated. The decor in the restaurant is really nice and looks great. I like that the bar and restaurant have models of ship on display (links to the history of Purfleet). The cocktails here are well priced and there is a good selection to choose from. I only ordered a couple of small dishes. The chips were seasoned nicely and tasted good. The chocolate fudge cake was delicious, I'd like to have some raspberries alongside the cake for that extra flavour. There is a good selection of food on their menu. When I visit again, I will be trying food from the main menu. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. There is also a pool table to play. I'd come back here and recommend The Royal for good food, drink and cheap prices.

The table was dirty with old food all over it and sticky. It was only 10am on a Sunday too. The glasses arrived filthy and when putting the drink in there was floating black bits so had to ask for new drinks which we drank from the bottles. The food arrived and was just warm not hot. The only redeeming factor was my eggs benedict was nice. My partner tried to speak to the waiter who was incredibly rude and just walked straight past whilst he was talking and he was aware we were talking to him. There is also no uniform as staff are wearing what looks like tracksuit bottoms and band hoodies which doesn't look presentable. I wouldn't return. ADD ON - My issue was not with the wear of your staff it was mainly how filthy the restaurant was and the staff are rude.
