Quick info
About The Royal
The Royal is a pub and restaurant on High St in Sutton Coldfield, run as a hotel inside a Georgian building, with rooms above the pub and nightclub. A live band plays and then hands over to a nightclub that runs until late, so the evening carries on after the music starts. A DJ also plays on two nights. The restaurant serves a Full English Breakfast, and the kitchen offers gluten free options, including a gluten free bread bun. Darts gives the pub side something to do between meals and music. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring them along.

Night noise is the most repeated complaint: reviewers describe a live band until around midnight, then a DJ and nightclub into the early hours on Friday and Saturday, with one guest saying no warning came from the booking site. On the positive side, one diner praises a gluten free Full English Breakfast and its bread bun, and another notes the revamp and darts. One room had a broken TV.

“Went in here for coffee and Breakfast. Great selection on the menu. Full English Breakfast was cooked to perfection. Scrambled eggs were cooked just right. Gluten free options were many. The bread bun was delicious . It's very hard to get good Gluten free bread in restaurants. Service from Carley was very friendly and professional. An asset to your business.”

“Don’t come here on a Friday night if you actually want to sleep! My son had a sports event close by on Saturday so we came up the evening before and whilst I expected noise till around 11pm with it being a pub this was next level with a live band till approx midnight and then turning into a night club till 2am. To add insult to injury road works outside started at 5:30am! We got no warning from the third party booking company nor at check in about the noise. I complained to the female receptionist in the morning who apologised but the damage was done. I respect the need to have various income streams but offering rooms Friday and Saturday night above a night club is unacceptable and you need to have warnings on third party websites about noise to inform potential guests paying out money and then getting almost no sleep.”

“The staff were super helpful but the TV in my room was broken and the shower was covered in timescale so I didn't have a shower.”
