  • Historic Interior

A roadside pub close to the railway with an extensive collection of railway memorabilia. A popular local's pub on the outskirts of the town with a railway theme literally running throughout, with a display of classic '00' gauge locomotives behind the bar with a railway running above the servery. With three rooms, the front bar has armchairs, sofas for a relaxing ambiance. The rear half wood-panelled games area is adorned with railway photos, station signs, and wagon plates and features bar billiards, darts and Northants skittles. A third area has been opened out and features the log burning fire. Limited car parking to the rear, although Plumbco across the road allow visitors to park in their car park.
