Quinno _ left this review about Tramway Tavern
Hazy memories of this one from previous despite the extensive review from 2011. Interior is a nicely done ‘modern trad’ and is bigger inside than the attractive exterior suggests. A Project William pub run by Bramptons - I didn’t pump count (it was probably around six, alongside some ciders). My Brampton Tudor Rose was excellent (NBSS 4) and a lovely palate cleanser to rid me of the lingering grot I had sipped at the GBG listed Anchor which has absolutely stolen this one’s spot.

Another pub on the A619 but this one caught my eye by being Brampton Brewery branded and is just down from the Rose and Crown, their other outlet. This place has a similar redecoration policy inside, though this one feels more homely and seems to be more geared towards drinkers and there was a better drinking vibe. The refurb must have been done recently as you can smell the newness - my high-backed winged chair smelt like it had just come off the factory floor. A good number of ales on the go, four Brampton Brewery plus Brew Co and Everards, with a real cider. My Brew Co was spot-on. The music in here was quite interestingly eclectic, which added a bit. Whilst only having time to stay for a swift one, this felt like a good session pub and I’d be happy to pop in here again. In fact, I think I preferred it to the ‘safer’ Brampton-run Rose & Crown. Rated 8

Old Boots left this review about Tramway Tavern
A 19th century pub now run by nearby Brampton Brewery, four of their beers on pull plus four guests from far and wide. They probably change but today it was Everards Tiger; Only with Love Chinook; Glamorgan Fresh; and more locally Triple Point Gold. Formerly a two room pub it has the standard T shaped modernisation of two areas at the front and a long tail backwards with the square servery occupying the back right and right side, there’s a sitting area beyond that at the back and I believe a beer garden. Mixed seating forms and the place was very busy on my Saturday evening visit, beer quality was excellent justifying its GBG2025 entry.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Tramway Tavern
Quite an attractive terraced pub, with a refurbished L-shaped interior featuring a few tables in a small area by the front part of the bar, with further seating to the left and at the back. Four handpumps on each side of the counter: Everards Tiger (as this is a Project William pub), Castle Rock Harvest Pale, Bewdley's Worcestershire Way and Blonde Protagonist from Alter Ego facing the street; and a 'house' Terminus pale ale from Brampton Brewery (who run the place), along with their Best, Golden Bud and Mild. So far so good, but the chap serving wasn't at all welcoming and the place was quiet, leaving a rather depressing impression.
