A TARDIS-like corner pub right outside Chelmsford station, more visible now due to nearby development. Unsurprisingly, a railway theme dominates. This is a long narrow pub with banks of hand pumps at opposite ends of the central bar counter. There is a small enclosed garden where you can listen to the station announcements. May stay open later on summer Sundays. This traditional pub also sells craft beers and over 60 different gins. CME branch POTY 2018.
