Will Larter left this review about The Railway Inn

The Railway has always had the Batemans Brewery colours, and the bright scarlet boards either side of the front door appear in almost every photo of the pub on this site. But I can't remember ever having a Batemans beer here, and it was a pleasant surprise to see their XXXB 4.8% on one of the hand pumps today, with the Yella Belly Gold also there, flanked by a couple of beers from local Pheasantry Brewery. My half of "triple eks bee" was in Very Good condition, and only £4.00/pint. It was quite busy here, as may be imagined when considering that the Stags' football ground Field Mill is only a 10 minute walk away, and their league fixture against the Hatters had been moved to a Sunday. I found a seat in the small tap room or snug to the left, though all the rooms here are small enough to be called snugs. We remark on these things now because they're so rare, but nearly all pubs this size used to be like this one. As previous reviewers have mentioned, this is a very friendly pub, and this was demonstrated by the way supporters of the two teams were mingling and chatting before the match. (Luton fans will have been too morose to chat much afterwards, as we got a severe hiding: 5-2.)

Quinno _ left this review about The Railway Inn

Scruffy looking place. Multiple rooms but all very basic and cheap with scuffed laminate flooring, mushroom shade paint and stark lighting along with no heating on a dank day. Of interest were the tables in the main bar which were engraved with a pic of Stevenson’s Rocket. Overheard complaints about the food by a family who then proceeded to leave most of the replacement. GBG listed with four on from an interesting stock. My Woodfordes Albion Stout was fair (NBSS 3) and served by a friendly mature barmaid. But I failed to feel any real warmth for the place and was happy to get gone. 5.5

The Railway Inn has a seating area to the right of the central entrance, and a small bar area to the left where the serving counter across the rear supports some keg, including one of my favourites, Blue Moon. The main bar area is found towards the rear where a serving counter on the left-hand wall faces some striped furniture. This furniture is also found in another seating area at the rear. There are four hand pumps that were drawing Dancing Duck’s Indian Porter, Lincoln Tank Ale, Full Mash High Five and Pheasantry Dancing Dragonfly which was extremely good. There’s also a large selection of Thatchers ciders as well as Madri. It was quiet with only three customers during a recent Thursday evening visit, but they were very friendly insisting that I sit with them while they watched cricket on a phone. The landlady was also very friendly; in fact, I think this is one of the friendliest pubs I’ve ever been in. Yes it’s a bit tatty around the edges, but it would certainly be one of my locals if I lived in Mansfield.
