| Went in yesterday for a couple of halves. Tried the 'Broken Piston' (Outstanding Brewery) and a seasonal ale 'Christmas Carol' (cannot recall which brewery). Both very good, place was busy and service excellent. My first visit to the much heralded Trackside and well worth the build up! mch1907 - 28 Dec 2011 22:49 |
| Probably the best "real ale" establishment in Bury, always a good selection. On my visit (29/5/11 - 40's weekend) the pub was very busy! There is usually ample room on the station platform but rain had forced people inside. I agree with the earlier comments, this is a soulless place & the layout does nothing to help, a single room, narrow with old church pews. It does the job, but it lacks warmth & character. That all said, considering the crush the staff coped well under pressure & managed to keep there sense of humour. Food is pretty basic, but fast, OK and cheap enough if you need a quick snack. Beer of the day was the house bitter, "Piston Broke" produced locally by Outstanding of Bury, followed closely by "Mad Monk" a premium stout from Allgates of Wigan. All in all a good pub/bar...OK, cramped, noisy and impersonal, but the beers make it well worth a visit. LW Pub/Beer critic (BeerNorthWestUK) - Twitter lwalker101 - 30 May 2011 07:56 |
| Beer is usually good with a fair choice, and it's one of the rare pubs that you can watch steam engines from, if that's your bag. However I have to agree with the word 'soulless' in other reviews. That's what it is. TheGuiltyOne - 26 Jan 2011 12:53 |

| Pub on the platform of The East Lancs Railway. Good selection of ales and ciders at reasonable prices. The place is a bit souless and the service can be slow at busy times - partly as the bar area is quite small and near to the door from the platform so it does get busy. Beers were running out fairly fast yesterday afternoon and didn't seem to be being replaced. cheshirecat - 3 Jul 2010 10:24 |
