Not so long ago, the Royal Hill was quaint, having a delightful unspoilt servery, snug and an old fashioned parlour. This has now changed in that, although the servery and snug remain, it has been extended into the adjoining outbuildings and an extension added. There's an increased emphasis on food and most of its six rooms are now used for dining. That said, it's still an attractive pub and has a faithful following of drinkers in addition to the many diners. Its location by the River Severn makes its popularity easy to understand. There are tables and chairs on the bank, but in recent times an attractive viewing hut has been added. It's possible therefore to take in the views of the river, the Breidden Hills and even Rodney's Pillar. And a poignant touch is the bench in the front of the pub which is in memory of Ruby, the landlady who used to reign supreme here. Camping is possible at the back of the pub's grounds and caravans are admitted also.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
This pub, with its fine views, was built in 1777 according to its date-stone, though the brickwork suggests a 19th-century refronting. The original rooms are the front bar, created by two high-backed settles to form a passage from the door, and the tiny rear servery with a Victorian counter. The lounge on the left and room on the right are converts from private accommodation; the former recently lost its 'front room' style with the introduction of modern furniture. Another change, in the bar, has seen a short passage created to access the right-hand room. Two further rooms to the left of the lounge were sculpted out of a former stables. Hatch service to two rooms.
Set on a quiet road beside the River Severn, this pub has fine views. The building is dated 1777 on a stone at the front although the brickwork suggests a 19th century re-fronting. Original rooms are the front bar created by two high-backed settles to form a passage from the door, and the tiny servery at the rear with a Victorian counter. The lounge on the left and the room on the right are former private rooms. The lounge has recently lost its 'front room' style with the introduction of modern furniture and a new brick interior to the old fireplace. Three of these four rooms have quarry-tiled floors. Recently the fireplace in the bar has seen changes including the creation of a short passage to access the right-hand room. To the left of the lounge two rooms have been created out of the former stable building. Hatch service to two rooms.
