Right in the centre of Royton, you’ll find The Halfway House. It’s one of those proper community pubs that feels like it’s always been part of the town. And honestly, there’s something comforting about that. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick pint after work or settling in for a long Sunday roast, it has just the right mix of buzz and laid-back charm.

They’ve got a solid range of drinks on tap, including award-winning JW Lees beers and rotating guest ales that keep things fresh. Food is served daily, with trusted pub classics and a few seasonal favourites to keep you coming back. If the weather holds up, the beer garden is a proper gem. It’s the kind of space where time slips away without anyone noticing.

When it comes to entertainment, there’s always something happening. Weekly quiz nights keep minds sharp and spirits high. Live sport brings people together with every goal, near-miss, or last-minute drama. And for the hands-on types, there’s a pool table and a darts board that always seem to spark friendly competition.
