One of East Lancashire's premier ales houses, the Royal is a large pub offering a varying range of real ales. It is a regular outlet for beers from the Pictish brewery. There is a separate concert room and large beer gardens to the rear and side. The pub once served as the hotel for the now long gone railway station. The disused railway, now a pleasant walking and cycling track passes close by. There is regular entertainment on Sundays. Good for families.
