I just wanted to share a review of this hotel, because they were so helpful when we experienced a problem with one of our rooms (not their fault at all, just one of those things). Staff went above and beyond and our stay was great. I also want to note that their breakfast was one of the best we've ever had - absolutely delicious!

The tastiest full English breakfast I have ever eaten in my life! I stayed at The Royal Standard on Saturday night with 2 friends for our visit to the Luxmuralis show at the Catherdral and my only regret is that we didn?t eat our evening meal here as well as breakfast. It?s a beautiful character filled building and the rooms are tastefully decorated with modern facilities. Super comfy mattress, lovely squidgy pillows and a lovely rainfall shower. The staff were lovely and welcoming and advised us where to park and when for free. The breakfast was my highlight though and I loved getting to eat it by the window people watching. Overall great value and location.Walkability: If walking up the steps from the car park entrance, please note the top step is slightly higher than the rest, I took a tumble despite having warned my friends the first time we walked up them ?

Good beer, very surprised at the amount of people there on a Saturday afternoon! Not surprised it's such a popular place. Great atmosphere.

We live locally & The Royal Standard has become our favourite place to eat. We had dinner there last night and even though it was very busy staff were ready to make our evening enjoyable. Table service was excellent from start to finish. Both my pork tenderloin and my husband?s fillet steak were outstanding: food quality, flavours and presentation. There was a buzzing atmosphere in the bar and relaxed chat in the restaurant. We had a perfect evening and will be back soon!

Just had a quick pint here. Tricky getting served when all the seats at the bar are taken and a long wait when people are ordering cocktails but really nice staff and customers and great choice of beer and cocktails (that are delicious)

A great pub. Nice atmosphere and we had excellent evening meals. There are old bakery ovens that have been preserved, and make an interesting feature, in the dining area.Lots of history. Highly recommended.

Lunched there. Excellent food, nice service, very handy for the free carpark nearby. I recommend the chunky chips! Definitely worth trying.

After booking an event at the nearby Maltings, we decided on this for a one night stay. Very good choice. We were shown to our room by a very helpful young chap who efficiently gave us info on TV, heating etc. We booked a junior suite which was very nice. Bar is very welcoming albeit a little pricy ( this is Ely, a junior version of Cambridge I always think) so to be expected. We booked breakfast and I'm glad we did. Very nicely presented and again, lovely staff. Overall, a very pleasant stay. Hopefully we will return.

We come to this pub alot and have visited on quiet days, busy days and it's always the same - lovely food, nice staff and atmosphere but the food service is always slow. A shame as it's otherwise a nice place.

Becky, the Manager, is more willing to serve a drug dealer than regular customers.The guy in question assaulted me on camera. He's barred from 2 other pubs.Safety: Stay away unless you want a thug, drug dealer staring at you.Food & drinks: Drinks exceptionally expensive for the location
