Set in the centre of the main street of the historic market town of Clitheroe, the Swan and Royal in a former coaching inn dating back to the 1830s.In its earlier years as a hostelry, it boasts guests both famous and some say infamous, in the local area and throughout the country. You can stay in rooms named after a selection of the most interesting of these people. After the fire, the Swan and Royal has undergone a major refurbishment, keeping its original character and still making it a warm and friendly place to eat and drink. During the day it is the ideal place to rest tired legs after walking round the market or the wide range of individual shops Clitheroe has to offer. At night it is a little more lively – being the centre of town makes it the centre of socialising!

    What a fantastic place. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived and this continued until we left. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. We had a drink in the lounge area before being taken to our table. The staff took our order and the food came in a timely fashion. All the starters and main courses we had were excellent and couldn’t be faulted. It’s the first time we’ve been here but it won’t be the last and I would strongly recommend trying it

    Great pub and lovely evening. Only criticism, a bit lighter on the salt please on the pizzas and perhaps a bit more excitement with the ice cream. Overall though a super evening.
