A traditional Victorian two bar pub restored by owners Malc and Hannah Evans. Its name derives from being opposite where the railway station used to be. The railway was once the main line west from Southampton but was gradually by-passed from 1885 and eventually succumbed to the Beeching cuts in 1964.

The pub, popular with the friendly locals, families and local businesses, has a public bar on the right, with walls covered with pump clips, old photographs of the railway and a dartboard (the pub has 2 teams). The lounge on the left offers further seating and behind this is a recently created snug room mainly used for eating or playing board games. The two rooms share a modern log burner located in a hole in the wall.

The pub has a surprisingly large walled beer garden, accessed from the public bar, with ample seating both on the substantial fully covered patio area and the grassed area with children’s play area. During the summer there is an outside bar.

The bar specialises in a varying range of beers, with three on cask (to supplement the one core beer) and three on keg. Food consists of a range of gourmet burgers and American inspired food. It also has a varied cocktail menu.

Level access is available via the rear door which is accessed from the side of the pub.

Historic Interest

The hotel was built to serve Ringwood station on the original Southampton-Weymouth LSWR main line, and later the Somerset and Dorset lines - which went from Brockenhurst to Templecombe and Bath. Station and lines closed in the 1960's.
