The Railway Inn, Coventry

Of course, handy for station named after Berkswell (a village some distance away), but very much a traditional boozer unlike the other four food-led pubs in Balsall Common. The lounge area is located to the right of the central counter, with the 'L'-shaped branch to the left housing the busy pool table and a limited amount of extra seating. Bass (£3.70, and in excellent shape), Landlord, Purity Pure UBU and the seasonal Swing Low from Fuller's available from the four handpumps when I visited.

What a splendid place to have a pint and chat with your mates! I visit this establishment on occasion and always leave with a hearty smile and a feeling of contented well being. The service is second to none and it caters for many kinds of customer. It's well worth a visit. The punters are also a good laugh!

this is a very friendly pub, have been there a few times now the food is all home cooked or home baked, they have a great curry & steak night on a wednesday evening, and a karraoke on the last saturday of the month, and best of all for me well kept and good real ale, will definatly return.
