Railway bar offering up to six real ales, basket meals, cobs and bar food in an atmospheric recreation of a refreshment room on a GWR terminus station. It was modelled on a design for Ross-on-Wye, and is the gateway to the Severn Valley Railway, located next to the main line station. In winter, a warming fire adds to the ambiance.

Beers include regular ones from Hobsons, Bewdley, and Bathams along with an ever-changing selection of guest beers. Paddles of three thirds are available and the next beers are displayed at the back of the bar. The bar can get busy when trains arrive but the rush soon subsides. 0% Hobsons IPA is available in bottles for those not wishing to consume alcohol.

Basket meals are served every day during the day along with a full menu on Thursday to Saturday, and on train running days. Sunday lunches are served, and cobs and rolls are always available.

Bottled beers from Bewdley Brewery are available on trains and real ale pubs near stations along the line and at Bridgnorth are an attraction. The Railwayman's Arms on Bridgnorth Station is a watering hole after a trip up the line and serves Station Porter from Bewdley Brewery (William Mucklow's Dark Mild).

Cycles can be locked to nearby railings at the front of the pub.
