The Royal Hotel Portland

Went here for dinner. They served good quality pub meal, decent portion size, fast service and all our meals arrived at the same time! Nice friendly staff.

Staff were very friendly, but my chicken burger was undercooked and landed me a 4 day stay in hospital.

Absolutely fantastic pub, Owner Pickles could not do enough for us. Worth the 4 and a half hour drive from Ferntree Gully to create the memorable moment. Cheers and see you all again soon hopefully.

Travelled to Portland to catch up with friends over the first weekend of June 2023 and dined here for lunch. All meals (pork ribs, risotto, fish and calamari) were fantastic and all plates were cleared.

We had a large group for dinner reservation. Whilst we were advised dinner delay of 45 mins if ended up being just over 1.5 hours for dinner to come out. That is where a star was lost. The meals came out hot, cooked, delicious and well presented. The staff were amazing and apologetic about the delay. I would revisit again as it was a great night and the place was busy with every seat and table filled. Wonderful job despite the delay

Had the most delicious Porterhouse steak here with diane sauce. Steak cooked to absolute perfection. Absolutely loved the delicious creamy potato side. The meal was perfectly complimented with that divine Henty Estate Cab Sav. Staff so friendly. Great service.

Meals were reasonably priced & great value. We ordered 3 adult meals & 1 kids meal. Kids meal was out in about 10 minutes but adult meals were closer to an hour. Child had eaten his plus his free icecream & was ready to leave. Staff were very polite & efficient.

Nice food, but wait time was over an hour and there's no music so it's very quiet with not much atmosphere

I'm fairly sure they don't have accommodation here.
The food is great and the outdoor area is fantastic to gather and meet friends and have functions

Couldn't get in all weekend.
All booked out.
Meals looked and smell delicious.
Clean nice venue, good location, happy customers

Waited near 2 hours for our meals, strange system of serving table by table, but the service was pretty good, nice staff and food was worth the money

I had never been served a poor meal here, tonight's dinner was absolute garbage. My main course was overcooked & two hours late. Not so much as an apology or complementary anything ‍️‍️. The entire 2 tables were over 90 mins late. Poor quality and cold? Could be a while before we revisit

New year's Day so busy period but everything was excellent. Great food and eating outside on a nice day always fun

Staff were extremely helpful and the kitchen was closing when we went, however, they served us lunch. The food was delicious. Thanks to all staff. Highly recommended.

We so enjoyed an wonderful "Family Reunion" lunch for 27 people on Easter Saturday. The food was fabulous, the service from the friendly staff was marvellous on a particularly busy day. Thankyou lovely folk at The Royal.we are sure to be returning customers.

Best pub meal I’ve ever had,
Entrée prawn skewers
Main: mighty meat feast

The ribs were Devine, will definitely be coming back.

My partner and I have allergies and we were easily accommodated here. Dairy and gluten free options. Delicious and fresh tasting, served quickly. We will be back.

New owners have made this the best pub in town in my opinion. Great friendly service in the front bar, great new beer garden and the best pub meals around.

Food was delicious, not a big sized meal for the money, the new publican seemed really nice.
Worth a visit
