proper spit and sawdust pub! quite scary but funny in a strange kind of way.

A fine example of an old traditional locals boozer. Very welcoming, good prices, one or two real ales, good conversation and an old school guv’nor. Although it’s on the main London Road it hasn’t got the best location being opposite a petrol station and right next door to a large old cinema building that has been boarded up for years and looks ripe for development. Hopefully the Great Northern will be around for a good few years yet.

Last time I was in here there was still a table top space invaders machine! You can usually get on the pool table, cheapest pint round these parts, watch out for the locals though they look rougher than a badgers botty

rather typical of a pub with railway in its name,

Have been back to this pub a couple of times. Later in the evening it can attract some rough-looking customers who negate the pub's few attractions. Both times I've scarpered to safer havens nearby.
