I have popped into The Royal Arms on several occasions when walking in the area. It is always cosy and friendly, with a character all of its own. The bar staff are as pleasant and cheerful as you could wish for. Last week, I called in and had a light lunch; a BLT open sandwich and a glass of cider. It was perfect and the food was a generous portion for the price.

It's been a while since we've been in here and I'm glad to say that it's as good as ever it was. Convivial atmosphere, good beers and great food. Walk across the moors and finish with food and beers. What more could we want?

Walked To Darwen tower and parked at the pub. Returned wet and gold to a lovely walk fire. Dogs welcome.
Enjoyed a real good home cooked meal and pint. Very reasonable price. Loved the lamb shank it was delicious. Will return again very enjoyable.
