Reopened from a free house to a J D Wetherspoon outlet on 1st October 2019 after a long period of closure, massive refurbishment and increase in floor space. Usual JDW range of staple beers plus guests.

Tastefully refurbished and a lot larger than the previous Railway pub that had closed in 2012. Long single bar with two banks of handpumps, each of 6. Open to view kitchen.

Couple of fruit machines and TVs (on mute sound).

Alcohol is served from 9am each day.

Upstairs toilets.

To assist a last-minute departure for your train there is a live station train departures screen at the end of the bar counter.

Historic Interest

Originally opened round about the turn of the 20th century and variously owned by Style & Winch and then Courage brewery. Closed 2012.
