9 Best Pubs near Royston

“What a friendly place and what good food! We were greeted with a smile and served with friendly attention. The seafood pasta was huge and brimming with shrimp, salmon and mussels. The souvlaki dinner also was delicious and having roasted squash as one of the side veggies was a brilliant idea. No problem seeing why “The Roy” is a local favourite.“

“Went for a show. Great atmosphere, great service, and the washroom was clean even though it was absolutely packed. I really liked that they checked every ID and were serious about not letting in minors. They had a coat check that was reasonable and all staff were great.“

“Our server Nathalie was super experienced and an excellent server. She took great photos and never stopped running tables with a smile. When it came time for the bill she had no troubles splitting them up and thanks to her our early retirement party was seamless. The food was really good as well, dine out options of portobello and ling cod and trio of dessert were all delicious“

“Our first visit. It was busy when we arrived for dinner, but we found a seat and we were given a friendly greeting. I had the schnitzel with veg and mashed potatoes. Delicious. SL had a burger which she said had a lovely char and flavour and the onion rings wete perfect. Although we were full we had to try the peanut butter pieIt was good, but a bit dense. We look forward to many more visits.“

“Two of us had the weekly Burger special - teriyaki chicken burger & opted for the fries as the side. Our chicken was moist and good. I thought we would have had a bit more pineapple on it however the other person was fine with the amount they had. I was able to get malt vinegar as a choice for the fries as well as regular white vinegar. One of us had the salmon (fresh salmon) burger & fries. She said it was moist and tasted good. Two had house white wine and I had a spritzer with cranberry juice. And to top it all off we each had a 'special' coffee - decaf coffee with liquor and whip cream- sugared rim. The server was very good with making sure we had what we wanted and gave us time to look over the menu; not making us feel rushed.“

“I had a delightful lunch here on the patio. The server was kind and friendly, and the food was delicious and tasted homemade, in the best of ways. The burger bun was especially good and we learned they are made in-house. We also really enjoyed the calimari and the fries.“

“Not only were the drinks and food options wonderful, but our son lost his 2nd tooth while we were there. Our server said there might be a tooth fairy surprise, and came back and gave him a 5 dollar bill. How incredibly sweet and totally made my son's day. Thank you!“

“Just STOP at the Whistle Stop! This under-rated, 80% locals nice-little-pub has some CRAZY hidden gems. We had the steak-n-prawns special ($15 ?) and the (you’ll need to sit down for this) STONEGRILL halibut. I can’t even. This seemed like an item that would be comfortable in any upscale urban restaurant. Pardon me going in and on about this menu item… it is a hot stone, 6”x6” (or maybe 6”x4”?) at 800 degrees, with lemons and then the halibut (raw) that cooks as you get oriented to your meal. You get salad or soup, an entire potato with fixins, and veggies. Add your butter to your veggies and then put them on the stone too! It is the freshest, hottest food you’ll have in a long time. 100% recommend this and there are steak options too.We had some good Guinness/ Kilkenny and hope the pub will feature even some cans of very local beer. Vancouver Island draft choices are good, but as always more would be better.Our server has been with the pub for 17 years and pretty much knows everyone which is saying something good.It’s down home, not fancy, keep your decor expectations low, but the menu and smiling faces mights surprise you in a good way. ?Sorry I ate all the food before I took the pictures. Also not sorry.“
