Thank you for your all your support during 2025 — we can’t wait to welcome you back with open arms and a freshly poured pint!
We will be closed for a minimum of 9 weeks - keep an eye on our website for our reopening date.
Welcome to Banyers House
One of Royston's most iconic buildings, Banyers House in Melbourn Street, re-opened its doors in December 2016. Situated within easy walking distance of the town centre, this Grade II listed Georgian building has been transformed into a destination venue with a dedicated car park, 90-seat restaurant, extensive bar area and nine boutique-style bedrooms.
Open all day from 8am, we serve a seasonal, Mediterranean-inspired menu in the light filled orangery and elegant dining room. Whether you're tempted to try a Neapolitan pizza, freshly prepared by one of our trained pizzaiolos and cooked in our wood-fired oven, or one of our dishes cooked to order in our charcoal fuelled Josper grill, you'll find we place great emphasis on the quality and provenance of our ingredients. For families, we offer a bespoke children's menu with accompanying activity pack, whilst most dietary requirements are met with ease.
With its extensive and varied drinks menu, our bar area provides a range of comfortable seating options, including a separate lounge bar that can be transformed into a private dining or function room to suit any special occasion or business event.
Completing the experience, our boutique style, en-suite bedrooms have been sympathetically designed and comfortably furnished to reflect the building's unique characteristics whilst at the same time providing those essential personal touches that make you feel at home.

Acorn Pubs
Acorn pubs are a collection of 10 pubs, 6 of which offer bedrooms, which sit primarily in the home counties. We could be described as ‘modern pubs’, with an extensive range of draft beers, wines and cocktails with a great menu of freshly cooked Mediterranean-inspired food, which centres around our wood-fired ovens and charcoal grills, using traditional cooking techniques and sustainably sourced produce.
Our buildings range from modern to historic, all rejuvenated into contemporary spaces that fit the needs of the communities they serve.
Whether our customers are catching up with friends over drinks, treating the family to Sunday roast in our restaurant, or escaping for a couple of nights to one of our hotels, we pride ourselves on offering the perfect, quality environment to suit, and warm, friendly hospitality.
