I have been drinking in this pub for many years & have to take issue with the review posted by Lexi!
Firstly she has obviously not been in for quite some time.It is certainly not a "student hang-out" at any time of day, least of all in the afternoon!
With regard to the accusation of "chavvy" regulars, I think this is the review of somebody who is more than a little pretentious! The people who drink there come from all walks of life & all ages.
This place is a rarity nowadays, a traditional English pub that has never pretended to be anything else. The people who drink in the Railway know that they can go in at any time of the day or night & not feel out of place whether they are "designer-clad" or just popping in for a few beers after work, everybody receives the same warm welcome from the staff & licencees alike.
For anybody wanting to visit a traditional,un-pretentious English pub & have some good quality, honest food then you'd be hard pushed to find anywhere better than The Railway!! read more
