Tha is pub has some great craft beers. The service is excellent and the food is good.
They have a new menu. My Parma was alright, average really.as it was a but dry and no where as good as previous Parmas that I've had.
The craft beer selection on the whiteboard in the bar has been reduced atm but they still have a solid list of some great beers.
The pinot noir wine was delicious, and top quality.
The vegetarian cauliflower with a blue cheese sauce was fantastic, soo moorish. Unfortunately I've deleted my pics from my last visit.
I don't know how to describe this Parma... At first I was like yeah, it's a pretty good parma... But it keeps getting better. It may just be me, but sometimes after a few bites a Parma gets boring, but this one got better with every bite. I'm full and I need more.
Bloody delicious. Quality pub food, reasonably priced and great beer. This is a rad pub & would highly recommend!! If you’re coming specifically for dinner, I’d book a table, this place is in demand.
One of the few pubs left in the area with a bit of charm. The food is tasty pub fare with some interesting quirks ( Hasselback potato yo). Plus the beer selection is flexible and intense . Probably the most beautiful pool room in Melbourne . She’s a keeper .
Standard food but solid local pub for the area. Great Wednesday night trivia but book ahead to reserve a table and get there early to order your food, otherwise it can be a 1 hour+ wait with everyone ordering at the same time.
I had my eye on the cheeseburger spring rolls a week before coming here - and they didn’t disappoint. The mince and cheese filling was tasty without being too fatty. Served with lettuce too so it cuts through being too heavy. Loved that it came with pickles. While I didn’t have it, the parmas looked amazing and serving size huge.
My favourite pub in Richmond! As a local it has been the best steak night my boyfriend and I have ever had! Seriously mouth watering and to die for! We go back nearly every week.. the serving is generous, chips are crisp/ tasty, the steak is always beautifully done and the peppercorn sauce- don’t even get me started! The best I’ve ever tasted (sauce wise)! We also tried locals night and again it was great! I had the Parma which was a large serving and delicious! My partner had the eye fillet with the red wine sauce which again was top notch. Lovely staff and beautiful decor. The Royston has maintained the old architect of the building which I adore and it has a lovely cosy feel inside. Try and sit in the dining room for meals.
We love this place and is always our go to spot. The bar area has a great vibe and perfect for hanging out with friends over a few wines. There is also a separate dinning area which is nice but there is tables in the bar area to eat too. The food is always delicious and the Monday night locals menu is awesome value (everything on the menu for $18). The gnocchi, pork belly and steak are my favourite.
First I've been to a pub where staff we so friendly & welcoming. Best staff at front bar, very polite and greeting with big smiles. Food was awesome. Will definitely be back! Keep up the great work.
Always great food and service at The Royston. Staff are friendly and approachable. Had lunch here on Mothers Day, a very busy day, but it did not alter the fabulous service or the quality of the food. Highly recommend.
Great pub with top notch food, awesome drink selection and friendly staff. The chicken parma lived up to the hype, it was excellent. Tasty ham and chips on the side as they should be. Good steak and the cheeseburger spring rolls were a winner. Nice atmosphere inside, nice and cosy. Would be a great place for a winter session.
Was told is the best Parma in town!! They weren’t wrong! Thick enough chicken piece not to be dry and balanced really well with the salad side thingy bob!
Bloody fantastic pub! great selection of craft beers, cask ale (!!!) and delicious food. Bar team is super helpful. The Royston is an absolute must visit
Good beer selection, good food, great outdoor seating (as well as indoor). Covid smart.
The Royston looks like a pub from the sixties, old, dimly lit and classic. This also is the charm of this place, it's a cosy vibe inside with awesome service from friendly, attentive staff who know their trade. You also have an old school restaurant out back and seating options put side too. The menu here covers all bases with some great twists here too! The cheeseburger spring rolls and a MUST try, the chicken parmigiana is rated one of the best in Melbourne and all flavours are smashing! Serves are decent and are not over priced. Good kids menu as well as a great beer list and wines that won't miss the spot either. The beauty of this place is you can go here to drink with friends and enjoy a great meal and get lost in the conversation as the vibe and ambience makes it so cosy and non distracting. If you're out for a flashy night out, this is not the place, but if you want a great pub, with amazing food, top service and to enjoy the company you're with, this place is 5 stars!
Hard to fault the food at all. Big fan of a their burgers including the tiny sliders that came out for the toddler in the group. The roast pork was outstanding.
Great pub away from the main street, parking wasn't an issue at the time. Plenty of free spots around.
The food is better than 90% of restaurants out there, no word of a lie!
Pubs are becoming the new one stop shop and this pub leads the way. Great beer (i would wish at least one normal Lager was on tap tho) nice atmosphere, reasonable price and incredible food. I had the Philly cheese steak and it was incredible. Will be back!!!
Had dinner with a group of friends. The entrees were excellent - we had the crispy eggplant, calamari and mo-mos. I had the kangaroo for main and it was cooked perfectly. Everyone enjoyed the meal and it was quite well priced, washed down with some beers and a couple of wines.
I have had lunches here in the past and the burgers were good from memory.
The only downside is that parking was difficult even mid week.
