Invictus Bar And Brasserie

Lovely clean hotel and bar. Picture on Google is ancient and does it no justice.Just had a quick pint but lovely and staff very friendly.

Bien mangés, dommage que le personnel soit très froid.

We visited the newly-managed Royal Hotel for dinner whilst family were visiting. We entered the bar and were asked if we wanted to eat there or in the restaurant. Since we knew we would be staying for drinks afterwards, we chose to eat at the bar (we were also told the menu was no different regardless).The menu is quite limited, but once the food arrived, we really enjoyed it. I had the steak and ale pie and can highly recommend it.Once our food was cleared, we ordered more drinks and some more friends joined us too. I have to say, I felt bad for the young gentlemen behind the bar, he was very polite but, once the bar picked up, he was on his own with a lot of people waiting to be served. He had to serve our Guinness in a standard pint glass because he wasn't able to wash enough of them to keep up with demand and then the same happened with the larger gin glasses. Whilst I was at the bar, he did actually ask an older member of the team for help, but they never seemed to offer any/stay.For a Friday Night and what became a busy bar, it was a shame that he was left on his own and did create a long wait for drinks, although he continuously apologised and tried his best to keep up.We will probably come back for drinks, but to be honest, the menu hasn't won me over compared to other places in town.
