The Railway Inn, Droitwich

Although beside one of the railway lines branching off from the nearby station, Canal Inn would be a more apt name since it has a lower beer garden right by the waterway. However, before you get there, you find a traditional two-bar pub at road level, with fairly basic furniture and decor in both parts. There is also an elevated, part-covered terrace (mostly used by smokers) at the back. With two of the four handpumps in use, I found Wye Valley HPA (£4.10) and Rosie's Pig cider being poured.

Large locals pub on the edge of town next to the canal. No ales on due to delivery issues so we made do with a quick lager. Enjoyed a chat with the regulars and I'd happily call again.
