The Royal Standard

One execution, one public hanging and a few naked ladies........... .........I though that might get your attention. I always take the family here on the first evening of our Easter winter break. It's a super pub with great décor, excellent food and good old fashioned service. Fish and chips for the kids off the junior menu. Fish pie and vegetables for my wife plus a superb rare steak with all the trimmings for me all washed down with some of the local beer. Great evening plus the colourful excitement of the Duke of Monmouth losing his head, 12 of the locals being strung up in public and ....well just look who is bathing naked in Lyme harbour. Don't believe me? Ask for a table in the back al...

We tried both the fish and chips and found them to be possibly the best I've ever had. The coffee was decent, but there's a Costa nearby for when they're open, plus a convenient pick-up window outside. We initially only ordered coffee but wanted to find a warm spot inside. Unfortunately, the heating was off, so we returned for our meal about an hour later. The atmosphere was relaxed, especially for a Friday evening at the end of January, and there was plenty of space available shortly after 7 PM.

Really enjoyed our meal here. The whole pub felt safe and welcoming despite covid, Staff very attentive, friendly and not overbearing. Food was perfect well presented and priced fairly. Was really impressed with my fish pie which was very fresh tasting. Asked for no dressing on salad and that was how it came. Very clean interior. Only downside was drinks were a bit pricey but we were only having one each so overall price was as expected including the meal. Recommended.

That said, the food was, as always, fabulous. The whitebait was to die for, the mussels were incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked, and the seabass was simply beautiful. The prices were fair as well. However, my daughter wasn’t too impressed with her chicken on the kids’ menu; it wasn’t baked or deboned properly. She enjoyed the chicken, but would have preferred some basic chicken nuggets! Regardless, we always enjoy our visits and will definitely be back! Réservez une table maintenant

Tried the Greek specials Stifado beef and Souvlaki both very nice, with good portion sizes. Be warned though, they do run out of the specials, 3 were sold out on the day we visited
