Royal Tavern celebrates ten years

POSTED: Thursday, October 4, 2012, 11:50 AM

The folks at Royal Tavern (937 East Passyunk) are pulling out all of the stops for their ten anniversary celebration. Instead of doing something dull like throwing a party they're dusting off recipe books from the past ten years and revisiting the menu items that made them the gastro-institution that they are today.

For ten days beginning on October 10th the Royal is going to be rounding up their menu's greatest hits beginning with a night of burgers topped with everything from crab cakes and bacon to SPAM. Longtime fans of the Royal can look forward to themed evenings with sandwiches, salads, apps, entrees and weekend brunch with Blueberry-Ricotta Pancakes and Pork Belly and Sweet Potato Hash.
