Update:
We tried to visit this former micropub on 11/7/26. It has been extended into adjacent purposes and perhaps can no longer be classified as a micropub due to its size. There are many handpulls but none at all were clipped. So, we entered the new premises, passed through the pub and exited through the original doors choosing not to stay for a drink.
I now note on the CAMRA website that the pub is closed until the autumn due to the hot weather, which is perhaps the reason they had no cask ales. Their website seems to have been taken down too. I'll keep my original high rating, but for the foreseeable this place is closed.
Last Visit 3/8/21:
Chorley's first micropub is situated conveniently for the town's bus and rail stations. It's also very close to the market place at the centre.
It is quite a large single room, with a variety of seating. 5 real ales and 2 real ciders are served. These were Theakston Old Peculier, Dancing Duck Dark Drake, Vocation Heart & Soul, Bass, Martland Mill Knocker Upper, Thistly Cross Whisky Cask & SeaCider Strawberry Cider.
Toilets were clean and service was friendly and knowledgeable.

sprawling oddball Victorian themed bar with two bars and several different areas. The idea is good and the beer is fine over 9 hand pulls. Not convinced it totally works and it needs a bit more attention to detail - feels disjointed and the toilets are pretty basic for such a large venue. Service is a mixed bag, friendly but lethargic. Could be great, as it is it feels like a tearoom converted to a pub on the cheap.

Now called The Shepherds Hall Ale House And Victoria Rooms. This is no longer a micropub. It has been extended into the next door building and has been swallowed up to be part of a music venue. Real ale still available.
