We went to Roy’s for a birthday lunch. On arrival it was very difficult to catch the attention of a waitress and we ended up waiting around 30mins before ordering food. This wasn’t a great start but once we ordered, the food was very tasty and the service very friendly and helpful.

Thank you for taking the time in reviewing us and bringing this to my attention. I apologise for the disappointment you had with the service. Unfortunately on that specific lunchtime we had some FOH staff off sick which meant that there was a decrease in staff working that period. Nevertheless, you should not have waited 30 minutes for your order to be taken and I can only apologise for this inconvenience. I have spoken to my team and hopefully, they have taken onboard the comments in your review and will improve on their service if ever we encounter the same staffing problem. Kind regards Alison.

Perfect restaurant for a very tasty lunch on a Friday with a good friend. We weren’t hurried at all, plenty of time to chat. Delightful staff and good lunch deal which includes a glass of wine. Will definitely use more often this winter.

Lovely dinner. Food was excellent and the staff are lovely. My only criticism would be that it was a little too dark, as the usual table lights had been replaced by seasonal ones, which weren't bright at all.
