Hard to reach owing to the gyratory system down the road, this is a basic backstreet pub with, as mentioned, limited opening hours.
The interior is quite modern: bare boarded with conventional furniture, but the Artex ceiling is dated. Multiple TVs showed a choice of either cricket or people racing motorised bicycles, both unwatched.
My half of Downton’s Quad Hop was £2.50 and fine.
This place is passable, but if I had to spend time in the vicinity waiting for a train, I’d prefer to do it across the way in the Duke.

A proper old school boozer not far from the station and near the Duke of York but with less generous opening hours.On a street corner,enter via the apex into a largely open plan interior .There is a large flatscreen to the left,traditional,well worn furniture elsewhere with a darts board. This area had an earthy charm,basic if rather overlit.There is a second section around the side of the bar,a snug with fitted bench seating although left unlit and a bit gloomy,the regulars gather elsewhere around the bar.Just two handpumps offering Downton Quad Hop and a decent Goffs Black Knight NBSS 3.5.
The Duke of York is the go to pub ,this one does at least have decent ale.

Feels like it’s lost the mojo it once had back in the day, has been modernised in a pretty unimaginative way and the comedy rail tat has gone. The smell of superheated damp on entering was pretty off-putting, as were the bar blockers. Rolls available; three sheets for cheese and pickle which felt a bit ambitious. Just the three cask available and my RCH East Street Cream wasn’t up to par (NBSS 2.5) despite the perennial GBG listing. A selection of papers and Viz mags was an upside but I didn’t feel inclined to linger.

A well-established ale house and home for train geeks, usually five ales from micros and regionals plus a proper cider or two. Quality on my two visits has been good (Liverpool Craft IPA and TT Landlord last time). The interior has a number of railway-themed items and there are some decent tunes on the jukebox along with a scattering of odd paraphernalia (including an ancient life-sized Rupert Bear collection box). Fixtures and fittings are fairly functional. TV switched on showing an Olympic event of some sort. Wide selection of daily papers available as well as, unusually, ‘fresh’ popcorn for £1.50 a go. The chap behind the bar was chatty and was interested in our pub crawl hit list. Pub has had a clean-up in recent times and is less shabby than previous (the smell of damp has gone), though the ceiling is still a hideous nicotine/poo colour. A quirky place that should get your custom. Rated 8
