| Okay this pub used to be all right, I went there a few times for the live music and to meet quite a nice crowd. However the new owner has got some problem he has to deal with, and that is his wife/fiancée. Me and a few friends decided to visit the railway on Sunday only to receive a drunken and offensive reception from the landlady. She was off her face grabbing and pushing customers around with the defence of "I'm the landlady of this pub". She than later proceeded to stumble around the garden area pulling on peoples clothing and whispering abuse in peoples ears, before going and cosying upto the landlord in the corner. This pub has now gone from somewhat all right to awful in one night. Will now spend most my time at the swan & mitre/o'neils, at least there the owners have themselves under control.

| Just a quick update. The useless mug that bought the Railway has gone and took his useless business partner with him. There are now new people running, two women and one fella. They were really nice when I went in there last Friday. They have even given the pub a makeover so it looks much better. A lot of the old staff have now gone as well. The groups are still being booked and you can actually get a bottle of beer all night! If I were you Detritus, i'd try it again now the idiot you mentioned has left. pikeyfish - 25 Jul 2011 14:46 |
| I used to frequent this pub in the early 90's and it was always a pretty decent crowd, with reasonable beer and decor. Although the same biker types and drunken labourers still drink here now, the beer selection was very poor, Fosters or Kronenbourg (the worst pint of kronies i've ever had), the bar gantries and original windows are now gone to give the place a spit and sawdust look. The landlord also thought it a good idea to shout F**k off in the face of one of my colleagues because he complained about being short changed by him (he should know he's an accountant). I have fond memories of old times in this pub but I will be going elsewhere in future. detritus - 11 Jun 2011 09:08 |
| Over the last couple of months I've gone into the Railway to have a beer and listen to the groups as usual. As you know from my previous write-up I really love this pub and the people in it. This leads me neatly on to how it is now. Every time I've gone in there the new owner has got absolutely no bottled beers of any sort and a very limited range of anything else. I know lots of people that also cannot use it any more because they no longer stock what they drink. Why the hell do you take over a pub and then decide to piss everyone off by not stocking up properly. From the feedback I'm getting the new owner was in no position to take this on. He clearly is having an issue with the brewery or simply a lack of money to do it properly. He is driving away scores of loyal regulars. O'neill's just up the road is now doing live music as well most weekends, when is he going to wake up and smell the coffee? They must be rubbing their hands when they see the railways regulars starting to drift in. I know it's not the same sort of music but at least you can get something other than a pint of lager. Please sell it and piss off if you can't do it properly. I'm going in there this weekend to listen to the SKA'd for life set because the DJ is great and well worth a listen. How long I last with a shitty pint of lager as my only choice remains to be seen. pikeyfish - 25 Mar 2011 12:11 |
