Rex Rattus left this review about The Great Northern Railway Tavern
No real ale on, nor any handpumps offering the possibility of something decent to drink on some future occasion. There are some original features in this Victorian ex-gin palace, but there are no other redeeming features as far as I can see. But, because I needed something to eat I decided to have a half of Stella and a Thai lunch. Got the Stella OK but there didn't seem to be a way to get something to eat other than trying to snag the chef as he hurtled to and from the kitchen with other people's meals. It seems the bar staff play absolutely no part in the food process – it's like having two businesses on the same premises. I suppose that's the way it is now, but losing business because a hungry punter can't get something to eat in a pretty empty pub can't be good for business. I won't be coming back.
