Bessemer Arms, Uckfield

Strongers . left this review about Bessemer Arms

Named after a steel production process that revolutionised production times that drove the industrial age, including the expansion of rail, the Bessemer Arms is found on one of the platforms at Bluebell Railway’s Sheffield Park Station. The entrance isn’t obvious, so I walked around for a bit before slipping through the ticket office, but I later learnt that access is also possible through the shop and information office. This is a basic place that feels like a canteen, but there is a proper bar along the rear wall that faces open plan seating on a laminate floor. There are four premium keg options alongside Harvey’s Pelles Pale and two hand pumps that were drawing Harvey’s Best and Halt. To the right of the counter is a food serving station with things like cottage pie, chips and lasagne being available. Nobody is coming here just for the Bessemer Arms experience, but it’s an acceptable watering stop while appreciating the station and trains.
