The Railway, Maidstone

Fairly basic music pub (owned by Admiral by the look of the beermats) located, as you would expect, opposite the entrance to Wateringbury's station. Opened out at some stage to leave a staple-shaped bar, with a pool table and some booth seating in one branch and a mostly clear space for the regular gigs in the other. Small patio beer garden to the rear. Two of three handpumps in operation, offering Pride and the local Musket Muzzleloader (£3.50).

Reopened after a refurbishment and now includes an Indian restaurant which takes up one side of the pub although it is a seperate business.

A warm & friendly welcome by Jackie the landlady. A variety of ales & lagers, also good food on the menu. regular entertainment, especially on halloween, where everyone dressed up & made the effort , a good fun night was had by all, a real must to try.
