Site: https://www.theroyalstandard-headington.co.uk/index
Report: https://directindex.org/r/theroyalstandard-headington.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Royal Standard is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open The Royal Standard's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.theroyalstandard-headington.co.uk/tvsport (on the business's own site)
- Address: London Road 78 OX3 9AJ
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap: Mon–Thu 11:00–23:00; Fri–Sat 11:00–00:00; Sun 12:00–22:30
- Prices: 3 prices on the site, the middle one £8.00

## Nearby, also direct

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2021.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site.
- **3 prices on the landing page, the middle one £8.00.** 

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
