The Royal Hotel — Restaurant in Newcastle-Maitland

They need to remark their disabled parking spot, or they fail to comply with Council regulations on Disabled parking. Great food, but sometimes they lack commonsense on cooks. Went there recently, crowded and the slower cook the only one working. This time of year demands the need for more staff due to more people meeting for Christmas.

Went for a Tuesday steak special. $22 for 300g rum med/rare with pepper sauce, chips & salad. Absolutely delicious. The best steak at a pub!!! The salad was excellent. (Not a bunch of leaves dumped on a plate!!!) My other half had a scotch fillet $22 as well with mushroom sauce and veg. Also top notch. Veggies freashly cooked.Yum. I would highly recommend the Royal. It wasn't busy. We eat out fairly regularly for lunch and do the pub special lunches around the town. This one was the best by far. Superb value we will definitely...
