The Railway, Belper

Presumably this was once a Station hotel but today you would hardly know the station is even there as it's hidden behind Poundland. Ominously it had a Star pubs lease for sale sign on the outside. Inside it's a large open plan roughly square room that is carpeted at the front and wooden floored at the rear. I noticed a pool table at the rear. It was quiet on my Friday midday visit. The bar has four hand pumps which had three unused and Theakston Best (£3.20). This was warm and rank so I sent it back and the landlady said she should have pulled some through (so why didn't she?). The replacement was better but not great. I wouldn't return here.
