Roy's Restaurant

If you ever find yourself wandering down the High Street in Welwyn and stumble upon Roy's Restaurant, consider it your lucky day. Tucked away at 28 High St, this spot doesn’t just serve food-it offers an experience that feels both elevated and deeply comforting. Whether you're in the mood for a romantic dinner, a solo lunch escape, or just a perfectly crafted cocktail, Roy’s checks all the boxes.

From the moment you walk in, there’s a warmth that feels deliberate. The seating is thoughtfully arranged, including full wheelchair accessibility across the car park, entrance, seating, and restrooms-a detail not every restaurant gets right, but Roy’s absolutely does. And while the vibe is relaxed, the attention to detail-from the way the wine is served to the way the dishes are plated-speaks to a higher standard of hospitality.

Let’s talk food. Roy’s menu is a delicious dance between comfort classics and elevated European-style fare. Start your meal with something light yet indulgent-perhaps the Tricolor Salad, or the Avocado Prawns if you want something a bit more playful. But don’t sleep on the Stuffed Mushrooms with Gorgonzola-they’re rich, creamy, and come with just the right balance of earthiness and sharpness. If seafood’s your thing, the Scallops & King Prawns or Warm Seafood Salad are standouts, always fresh and beautifully seasoned.

For mains, steak lovers have tough decisions to make: Sirloin Steak or Ribeye? Each comes cooked exactly to your preference, juicy and tender, served alongside sides that complement without overpowering. If you're leaning toward something heartier, the Lamb Chops are full of flavour, grilled to perfection with just the right char. Lighter appetites can opt for Chicken Tenders & Chips, a crowd-pleaser that doesn’t sacrifice quality for simplicity.

Dessert is where Roy’s truly goes all out. Imagine finishing your meal with a White Chocolate & Raspberry Cheesecake that’s silky smooth with just the right tartness, or a Biscoff Cheesecake that nails that caramelised biscuit flavour without being overly sweet. The Tiramisu is classic and indulgent, while the Panna Cotta offers that dreamy, creamy texture you only get when a kitchen knows its stuff. Or, for the indecisive among us, the Dessert Platter lets you sample several of these sweet delights in one glorious sitting.

Drinks? There’s a well-curated wine list, from crisp whites to bold reds that pair wonderfully with everything on the menu. But if you're in the mood for something a bit more spirited, the Espresso Martini and Bellini come highly recommended-not just for their taste, but for the way they elevate any casual evening into something a bit more celebratory. Gin fans will appreciate the thoughtful selection as well.

Roy's doesn’t just stop at good food and drinks-it caters to modern diners with convenience in mind. You can enjoy your meal via dine-in, takeaway, or opt for no-contact delivery if you’d rather indulge at home. Late-night cravings? Roy’s has you covered there too, with a menu that stretches into the evening hours. Plus, it’s halal-friendly, offers vegan and vegetarian options, and even serves healthy small plates for those seeking lighter fare.

And while the ambiance is clearly suited for dinner dates and group meals, solo diners will find it just as welcoming. The layout and atmosphere strike that rare balance of social and personal-ideal if you're just looking to enjoy a quiet bite on your own with a cup of excellent coffee or one of their great teas.

Roy's Restaurant doesn’t just serve food-it delivers consistency, comfort, and a hint of luxury in every bite and sip. Whether you're a local or just passing through Welwyn, it’s a place that quickly earns a spot on your “go-to” list.
