Railway Inn, Billingshurstback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The Railway is situated (unsurprisingly) right next to the level crossing and railway station in Billingshurst. It has a nice cosy bar area at the front and a quieter dining area to the rear where one solitary person was enjoying Sunday lunch. Locals congregate around the bar itself making it difficult to get served. Beyond that is a small garden and car park. Ales were Harveys Sussex Best Bitter, Shepherd Neame Spitfire, Sharps Doom Bar, Fullers London Pride & Firebird Paleface American Pale Ale. There was a cask at the end of the bar. But I couldn't tell if it contained anything different. The nearby Billingshurst Carnival was fairly enjoyable. That had a beer tent. But real ale drinkers were nipping into the Railway for their refreshment.

Ah the dear old Railway....atmosphere hasn't changed since I first started popping in after youth club - 40 years ago! Recommend the bar billiards and the Stella Artois on draught.

Easily the best pub in Billingshurst. No, really. It's the only one you'll get a decent pint in, at any rate.

Nice relaxed atmosphere and a few ales on tap in this pub which is, yes, right by the railway station at Billingshurst. Better than the vast majority of 'station' pubs though.

Great atmosphere, very friendly, the BEST Sunday lunch for miles around! Great Ale, Plenty of Oddballs.

The guvnor in here was the inspiration for Harry Enfield's dopey pub landlord - no lie. Go in there and enjoy him...."here Stella, have you seen my pills, it's driving me NUTS!!!"
