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 My only criticism would be that it was a little too dark, as the usual table lights had been replaced by seasonal ones, which weren't bright at all.

Today was a day to celebrate a special occasion, and we thought the place to go to was Roy's Restaurant. We have been there before and could not think of a better place to go back too. After being welcomed to our seat we were offered a menu full of different choices to eat. When the meals arrived, they were very presentable and when tasted, tasted really nice. It helped make the celebration memorable. The restaurant will always be the restaurant of choice and is highly recommended

The food here is mediocre. Distinctly average. Choices for vegetarians are limited and completely uninspired. The price of the food feels expensive, though I suppose it is in keeping with the area and other restaurants nearby. The service staff are great - no complaints there.
