Port Royal, Exeterback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
OK pub, Beers not bad, Otter Ale was decent, food was pretty good.
Sat outside in the sun next to the river. Only 1 staff on duty and he was doing everything, Bar duties, food orders, food deliveries and collecting glasses.
So you can imagine his stressed attitude did not come over very well.

I think we must have been in the back bar when we visited on a cold January afternoon.
Great location for a pub, pint of fosters was very tasty although fairly expensive.
Would visit again.

Brilliant pub, very friendly, Restaurant serves lovely food. Carlos still there! Not sure about the below comment, Have been a few times and never had any problems.

Extremely unfriendly service - went in to get a drink and made the mistake of going to the loo before ordering only to be treated to a load of sarcastic abuse when i went to the bar, for having dared to use their loos without buying. Best avoided.

Stopped off at the 'Port Royal' for a swift half, the other day, en route to the main attraction, the 'Double Locks' pub a mile or so away along the canal path. You can walk the whole distance from Exeter quayside to the Double Locks pub, but it would be rude to pass this fine hostelry by without imbibing a tipple or two, and raising a glass to the good folk of yore who used to live in Port Royal, and who lost their lives on that fateful day... go on, have a drink to them! Gawd blessem! TJ

Really nice pubby the riverside, Not quite as packed as the prospect and ather bars on the quay, so it's ok for a more relaxed session.

The Port Royal is a superb pub to go and have an evening out in, with its boat house restaurant and waterside setting. The food is excellently cooked by the resident hungarian master chef and run by a great guy called Carlos. A very freindly and warm welcome guaranted for all! On a hot summers day you can sit outside and chill with one of the selection of the many beverages available, from soft drinks to tea/coffee or even some of the great beers available. Something for everyone, and even better you can take the kids and the dog too. A great family pub!

Woah! - does no-one know the 'Port Royal' on the quayside at Exeter..?!! OK, you'll have to walk to it to find it, or you could hire a bike and cycle the 400yds along the towpath, and get there quicker. Its worth it! I met up with an old friend here last Wednesday, Dr Kronenbourg at precisely 16.64 hours in the glorious sunshine! The gulls were screeching over-head, you can smell the fresh sea air, and the sound of the water nearby is a relaxant! With your best friend at your side, what more could you ask..!
The plaque outside this fine establishment tells of the legend of 'Port Royal' a town that was here 500 years ago, which was completely destroyed by a freak tidal wave. The pub is all thats left as a reminder of the tragedy! (Hmmm.. maybe its safer inland a bit..!!) We adjourned to the Prospect Inn, at the further end of the quay - landlubbers!! TJ
