Railway Arms, Epping

Marked as closed

A detached black timber framed pub, with small patio, something more likely to be found in Chester than Bilston, where it is a unique building. The interior is mainly open plan, with several little side areas, one of which has a dart board. The decor is the same timber and white, with some nice wood panel, some carved, as well as having a few fireplace, one in nice stone. Service was Ok, the music has returned more to rock, but is of a decent level, the clientele is mixed, though with perhaps a slightly younger leaning. Beer; all tap stuff, but with Banks's and Bass MILD, the Bass was decent. The pub has varied over the last few years, from being a bit of a dump, to being a decent place to visit, despite the lack of real ale. I am pleased to say that i thought it is now in one of its better phases. Still, as a real ale drinker, it is still a place i would just pop into for one, while waiting for the Trumpet to open, but worth a visit.

CLOSED converted in to a restaraunt called carriges. [admin note: actioned 29/11/09]
