This Pub is Closed Long Term

Didn't reopen as a pub after lockdown, but hotel room upstairs were (and maybe still are) available after that. Has a to let sign outside saying that it is under offer.

After a period in the doldrums, the Station Hotel re-opened in October 2017 with new owners and a vibrant new look. Real ale has been re-instated, along with a large range of gins & craft ales (both key keg draught, keg draught, plus a vast range of bottles & cans).

Have a look at the Facebook page for the current offering. The front lounge area has a splendid view of the victorian railway station and the castle. The central bar area is pretty much where it always has been. Originally, the pub spanned the whole building, with a back bar and second entrance on the Chester Street side. However, under the previous owners this was partitioned off to create a food takeaway facility (currently unoccupied). The smoking room in between the bar and the toilets turns out to be an external space right in the heart of the building.

Historic Interest

The Station has had two spells in the Good Beer Guide - firstly in the mid 1970s and then again in the early 1990s. It actually appeared in the second ever edition of the Good Beer Guide in 1975. Entries were brief in those days but here's what it said - "A pre war pub with a pool table" Apparently, Bass Worthington Bitter and M&B Mild were served.
