Royal Castle was founded in 1968 by two Trinidadian couples, Irene and Vernon Montrichard and Marie and Ray Permenter in Port of Spain as the first fast food chain in Trinidad and Tobago.[3] It grew to 37 locations with 520 employees over time. It is the only fully locally owned fast food restaurant in Trinidad and Tobago. According to the website CaribbeanJobs.com, franchises began in 1987.
The restaurant was one of the first establishments to acknowledge the use of seasonings from Paramin in the preparation of its products, such as pepper sauce. During the year the restaurant offers fried chicken, rotisserie chicken or veggie burgers. fried fish with tartar sauce and fish sandwiches are also offered. The restaurant chain offers sides such as fries, coleslaw and potato salad. At various times there are specials where one can purchase combinations of products at "even more attractive prices" or participate in National Lottery Control Board (NLCB) approved promotions.
