The Royal Castle Bar and Restaurant in West Bromwich

Ah, The Royal Castle – it's one of those places that just warms your heart with its genuine, family-run charm in the heart of West Bromwich. I've got to say, the food steals the show; think tender Chicken Biryani packed with aromatic spices or those delightful Momo dumplings that transport you straight to Nepal – it's all prepared with such passion by the chefs, and at prices that feel fair and inviting. The restaurant staff are an absolute delight, always on hand with a friendly smile and efficient service that makes you feel looked after from the moment you walk in. It's a proper cosy spot where tradition meets a welcoming atmosphere, ideal for catching up with mates over a meal. On the flip side, though, the bar area lets things down a touch; the staff there seem a bit detached, which can dampen the mood if you're after that extra bit of cheer. Plus, the open-plan design means it can get noisy, especially during busier times, and you might wish they separated the spaces a bit more for a quieter dining experience. All in all, it's a solid choice for food lovers, but if you're heading there, I'd suggest focusing on the restaurant side for the best of it – honest feedback from one pub enthusiast to another!
