Sir Henry Royce — Restaurant in England

On a visit to Peterborough came across the Sir Henry Royce. On entering thought it was a Wetherspoon's by the decor. Looked at the menu and realised it wasn't. The menu had very little choice. Our table was sticky but we thought we would give them a chance. I went to the bar to place my order to find one poor member of staff trying to serve all the people waiting, baring in mind this was around 1pm it was ridiculous. Eventually she was joined by a colleague. I needed to use the toilets which were upstairs so visited them. The toilets were disgusting on entry I was greeted with the strong smell of stale urine which was very strong. There were 3 cubicles, The first had holes in the door with the holes stuffed with toilet paper. I tried locking the door and the bolt was bent and didn't reach properly. Tried the second cubicle same holes in the door with paper, the latch was broken so couldn't be locked so I tried the last. There were no holes in this door and the lock had been repaired and made stronger, great I thought then discovered the toilet seat was hanging off and basically just sitting there unsecured. I returned back to my table to wait for our food which came eventually. I had a fish and chip platter which was Ok even tough a bit over cooked. My wife had a a chicken salad which was awful, all her salad was limp and the lettuce was changing colour and turning up at the edges. She ate the chicken and left the salad. Like a lot of pubs they try to run them with too little staff. I think this pub requires serious attention...

Went in on new year eve... very quite .... and arrived before you started charging on the door. Decided to get two cocktails on the two for one offer so ended up with four pitchers. Have to ask have you actually tasted them? Have to say they were the worst cocktails I have ever tried and ended up leaving them as undrinkable. I would recommend that you actually taste the cocktails and if they aren’t selling I would update your menu. I wouldn’t even mind paying more for them than you do at the Wetherspoon across the way if they actually tasted nice. In the end we left and went across the way to get a cocktail that actually tasted nice... shame as you lost our sales and puts us off returning in future as your menu is limited in comparison to the other Venues in town.

This used to be a place I enjoyed going to when it was a Yates - but since it changed hands it just gone more and more down hill. No customers and this is on a weekend night too, no atmosphere, drinks poor quality.

Only good thing I can say is staff are always friendly and polite.

It’s a shame, as could been a real earner after it had its make over... just become a place I wouldn’t want to spend my whole evening in or really visit anymore and would rather go to the likes of oneils, turtle bay etc and spend a bit more for a drink am...

I went there with a friend that doesn’t speak English well. Obviously I was taking care of ordering, but the bartender completely ignored me and kept trying take the order from my friend. I was ready to let that go since it seemed like a playful act, even though it was rude. He got the order wrong and our steaks were rare 😪 the meat wasn’t great and I had a chip in my plate when ordered spiral fries (I mean, these things get you paranoid about contamination). What convinced me to write a review was that my ‘after meal cocktail’ was dodgy. I asked for an extra shot of vodka in my woo woo. Anyone that drinks woo woo will know that an extra shot will lead to taste of most alcohol in the drink - it tasted like juice with a hint of peach schnapps. My only suggestion for the manager is to provide some additional training to make service up to standard. No hard feelings but left disappointed and didn’t get what I paid...
