The Royal - Hyndburn

Came with the Mrs and two kids, food was excellent and not too dear. Beer selection was good too. I had the fish, which was crispy and delicious, the wife had cheese pie and the kids were very happy. Staff were lovely. Top place!!

Staff very friendly and we were served as soon as we walked in. My wive had the steak pie, and I had the all day breakfast. First the bad points, the decoration fastened on the wall next to the table had at least one cobweb on it and it needed a good dusting. My better half thought the steak pie was shop bought rather than home made and didn 't have much meat in. Didn 't put her off as in the past she has had the cheese and onion pie and thought it was the best . The all day breakfast was a good sized plate, full of food, of which every mouthful was lovely. I I have been ill for almost 3yrs and not had much of an appetite in that time, but, I finished the whole lot. Will deffo ' be returning.

We were a group of three people who went to this pub to have a lunch. When we walked in we stood for quite a while and no one came to seat us. After a while my husband went to the bar and asked for a menu. We sat down and after a little wait a staff member gave us some menus and asked for our drinks order. The order was 2 teas and a glass of water. When the drinks arrived the 2 teas were in small cheap looking tea cups, with no saucer or spoon and were just plonked on the table. Then 2 small jugs of milk arrived. When I looked in one of the cups it had 2 inches of tea in. I went to the bar and asked if I could please have more and was told by the staff behind the bar in a very unfriendly manner to sit down and it would be brought back full. No apology. The tea bags were again just plonked in the cup, not the kind with string attached. We waited approximately 45 minutes for our order, one meal was an all day breakfast which was ok, the other 2 were egg, ham, chips and peas. The ham an eggs were edible but the peas were hard and the chips were under cooked and tasted like they had been warmed up. Everything on the table looked and felt dirty. At no time did anyone ask if everything was ok. There was only about 3 other covers in the restaurant, so they were not busy. As we were with an elderly person we did not want to spoil there meal so I told our waiting staff(who had been very pleasant) that the chips and peas were absolutely awful. We paid and left. Unbelievably we had been charged £4.80 for the 2 small cold teas. The total bill was well over £30. It was just terrible. We don't know if this pub has changed hands recently but it used to be very good.

First visit since new kitchen installed after all restrictions lifted. The menu had a very poor selection. Scampi,fish and chips, steak pudding,full English, cheeseburger, 8oz sirloin.Just no imagination. No wonder there was only one other couple eating in the hour and half we were there. Even the specials board had no adventure, posh fish finger butty or full english. On the plus side the beer and wine were spot on.

Roast beef Sunday roast was amazing with melt in your mouth beef, quality produce and huge portions. Great friendly staff and nothing too much trouble. Will all be back as agreed its definitely one of the best meals we have all had in a long long time.
