A nice roadside pub with a strong local feel. Decor is fairly traditional - perhaps a few too many fairy lights - and it has darts in the main area and pool in the conservatory extension. Very friendly and with a well-run feel, despite a slight altercation with a locked door trying to get in! The beer range varies - majoring on a well-kept Bass for this visit but apparently often including some (other) local brews. A good solid pub.

At the time of my visit, the Railway Tavern, as it was then named, had just been taken over by a new licensee, who was friendly and welcoming. My notes made at the time tell me that the place was due to be refurbished and a change of name to just The Tavern was being mooted (possibly because of confusion with the Railway Inn less than a mile away). My notes, recently discovered in a notebook that I had misplaced, don't mention what beers were on when I was here - I think maybe just the one - but it's a Marstons pub and Pedigree is always on, and in very good condition for my visit. Maybe it's due a revisit.

An interesting build with a front gable making it a bit like a doll's house along with older and modern extensions. There is a patio. The main room has been opened out and is in various colours. It has a dart board, a TV (not on) and soft background music. There are some weird fairy lights as well. Various photos dot the walls, many choo-choo related. The conservatory has a pool table. Beer has the usual tap stuff with the ubiquitous Pedigree in these parts and an OK Brakky Oxford Gold. Happy for one.
