The Railway, Solihull

Excellent traditional roadside pub on the fringe of the village (actually not very near any railway, despite the name!). Fairly snug bar at the front, and a larger lounge at the rear, with a good range of home-cooked proper pub food available. The main draw would seem to be the beer however - at time of visit 6 excellent and varied ales plus 2 ciders - which no doubt explains the various CAMRA awards. Seems disabled-friendly, and also appears to have large garden area, but closed up for the winter. Note is only a few minutes from the M42, if you can find your way through the back lanes, but get someone else to drive. Recommended.
