Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Railway
No need to guess where this one is, although (curiously) Station Road doesn't actually lead from the town centre. Anyway, the modestly attractive exterior belies the unsympathetically modernised two-part interior that has a limited amount of furniture and very little in the way of decoration. Neither of the handpumps were working either (although one did have a reversed Doom Bar clip), so had a John Smith's (£1.80, half) before moving swiftly on.

A good solid locals' pub with 3 rooms. The main front bar has tables at one end and sofas at the other, with a few TV screens. Behind this is a rather dark bar with a pool table, while round the side is a large and well-equipped function room, used for the regular live music sessions. Outside there is a patio area. Draught ales are Doom Bar and a changing guest, which on this visit was Black Sheep Monty Python's Flying Circus.

A very simple and basic locals boozer, living the railway pub cliche. Take away the tat and strip it back, it could be a destination. Three pumps with two on; Banks Hit the Bar and Adnams Ghost Ship, which obviously hadn’t seen life for a fair while, warm and listless. A live band was on the go out the back and the website pushes live music and TV sports as the pub’s forte. 4.5
