With the nearby Harbourside pub being heavily renovated, the Royal Standard now appears to be the only pub in the small harbourside settlement of Flushing. The pub has more of a cafe/wine bar feel to it these days, with two rooms knocked into one. I was the only drinker in, with quite a few lunching ladies and some couples too. Food smelt good, but I didn't have time to stop. One of the last vestiges of the pub appears to be the outside gents. With the interior being so short of space, this is something they will struggle to change. However, when the most interesting part of the pub is the gents, I'm going to struggle to score this highly. It was summed up by a middle-aged lady complaining about the strength of her mother's coffee, as I was leaving. During the day at least, this does not feel like a pub. Real ales were Tribute & Atlantic.
