| The Railway is a lovely; good; old fashioned 'local'... in the very best sense of the term. Not many of them left; sadly! Good beer kept in an excellent, clean cellar. The staff are wonderfully warm and helpful (with one notable exception, but happy to forgive him and buy him a razor for Christmas!). Clientelle are largely locals or visiting workers. Lovely atmosphere and very welcoming. Facilities (eg Sports TV; pool tables etc) are great. Happy 'atmosphere' enhanced by very welcoming staff and typical, friendly customers. And dogs welcome! Only recently moved to the village; but have no hesitation in recommending the pub and would like to wish the retiring licencee (Anne Brew!) all the best for the future. If visiting Parbold; then don't miss the Railway.... a 'proper' pub! rogerandbex - 6 Sep 2010 01:34 |
| Former Burtonwood pub that, as you would expect, is next to the station. It's mostly opened out and generally appeals to the younger generation, with two pool tables and sky sports. However, an area towards the front of the pub retains two snug-like rooms that are filled with railwayana- maps, old station signs, and pictures and are quite traditional and pleasant. The Burtonwood estate having passed into Marstons' hands, the beers available are Banks', Pedigree and Jennings Cumberland- not exactly inspiring but kept well enough. Apart from the front rooms, which I like there's little reason to visit here as it's a standard circuit pub- certainly nothing special but there are much worse. Carlurmston - 13 May 2010 17:30 |
| Seems to have a resident kn*bhead - look out for the big guy with the shaved head and Rugby shirt who thinks that he's the life and soul of the pub and side-splittingly funny, but isn't.... Still a good pub worth going in as long as you can control the natural and understandable urge to plant him one. Redwing - 29 Jul 2007 19:58 |
| You're right about the chippy, though the Indian takeaway next door is first rate. Will try to add The Stocks and The Windmill as both appear to be absent. All pubs in Parbold are different and worth visiting, really. Redwing - 15 May 2007 20:34 |
