Fine Dining in The Royal Hotel Restaurant A visit to our glorious, award-winning restaurant will linger in the imagination long after you return home. The menu created by our head chef Steven Harris, will delight and surprise any seasoned gourmet. Relaxed Dining in the Bar & Brasserie Lunch and afternoon tea are served daily in the relaxed setting of The Bar, our charming New! Brasserie or our beautiful, Colonial-style conservatory and terrace with its backdrop of rare, pink, climbing mountain geraniums. Royal Afternoon Tea The Royal Hotel has been so called ever since Queen Victoria enjoyed taking afternoon tea at the hotel, whilst visiting her friend Sir John Hambrough, at nearby Steephill Castle. This fine tradition of a mid-afternoon spread, consisting of delicate pastries and miniature sandwiches, continues to this day, and The Royal excels in creating a high tea that is still fit for royalty. In the summer, our chefs use berries grown and picked from our own kitchen garden to make the strawberry jam that accompanies traditional scones and clotted cream. From plot to plate, you won't find any fresher! Al Fresco Dining on the Riviera Terrace The Riviera Terrace at The Royal, Ventnor, Isle of Wight, is undoubtedly one of the best al fresco eating destinations on the south coast.
