A 16th-century inn in the heart of the village. Underwent a massive refurbishment in 2017, but the old rooms remain, albeit modernised. As you enter, a tiny locals' bar is on the right and a room mainly for dining on the left. The main bar is accessed via a passage, past the main bar is another room with seating and a glass roof, and also a window looking out onto Main Street. The decor throughout has the limited colour palette fashionable nowadays but it avoids austerity. Interest is provided by photos of old Heysham. Note the lampshades fashioned from demijohns. At the rear of the Royal is a covered smoking area and paved beer garden (until 11 pm).
