Matt Egan, Head Chef of The Royal Hotel said:

“My first few months in my new role at The Royal have been an incredible journey and the team are going from strength to strength. The team and I were very quickly put under the spotlight with the AA Rosette inspection, and we are proud to say we maintained our Two AA Rosette status along with the additional Silver Star Award. This award coupled with our 5 out of 5 rating from Environmental Health gives a huge amount of pride and we can’t wait to take The Royal to the next level.”

William Bailey, Managing Director of The Royal said:

“I am so proud of our hardworking, passionate and experienced team. They have worked so incredibly hard for all our awards this year. Our new Head Chef, Matt was an award-winning Head Chef at just 21 before joining the Royal Kitchen as a Junior Sous Chef. We were delighted to promote him to the Head Chef role recently and we cannot wait see him and the Royal Kitchen Team transform the dining experience and create memorable experiences for our guests. There are some exciting plans for The Royal ahead, and we can’t wait to welcome many more guests for the Isle of Wight’s Best Hotel Experience.”
