Sitting under the veranda enjoying an aperitif or dining out Al Fresco is an experience not to be missed.

PRESS RELEASE: September 6th 2011
The Royal gets into 2012 Good Food Guide

The Royal has been praised by the Good Food Guide for ‘refined dining in an elegant atmosphere’.

Among the menu items singled out were the ‘well-executed’ Gallybagger soufflé, ‘textbook’ lobster thermidor and a ‘creamy casserole of locally caught whiting, prawns and assorted molluscs.’ The reviewer awarded a cooking score of 3 which reflects good cooking, sound technical skills and the use of quality ingredients.

'It's absolutely fantastic to be listed alongside the best restaurants in the UK. I can't praise my team enough, from the apprentices to the senior sous chefs. This is an acknowledgement of all their hard work and passion and I am very proud of them!' Head Chef Alan Staley

The food at the Royal has also enjoyed some celebrity endorsements this year. Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville tweeted ‘Terrific food’ and opera star Lesley Garrett said it was some of the best food she had tasted.

'This has been a busy year for us and the team have worked very hard to keep up high standards and produce wonderful food. This is a massive achievement not only for The Royal but for the island which is justly gaining a reputation as a gourmet destination.' Managing Director William Bailey

Top tip: The Royal Set is an affordable way to experience fantastic food at the hotel - two courses- £15, three -£19.50. They often include signature dishes such as Gallybagger soufflé and vary it with the seasons. Available Mon-Sat 12.30pm - 1.45pm - booking recommended.

Under Alan Staley, the Royal has held 2 AA rosettes for excellent food over 15 years - Alan trained under Anton Edelmann at The Savoy, London. The Royal is one of only 30 establishments to be listed in every Michelin Guide 1911-2011 - a vintage weekend, Royal Revival October 14th & 15th, will celebrate this achievement.

The style is modern British - good quality ingredients, simply cooked. Signature dishes include Gallybagger soufflé with cauliflower veloute - a deconstructed cauliflower cheese and Steve Bott's delicious Chocolate Declinaison.
