The Railway Hotel, West Horndon

From the station you can`t see anything that would make you want to check this area out. But take a chance and just to the right of the station carpark`s exit you`ll be pleasantly surprised with this pub/restaurant. Nicely light and airy decorated,friendly staff and publican very helpful. Food is freshly cooked (the leg of lamb roast is superb!) and keenly priced. A nice collection of railway memorabilia inside and some outside made this pub feel like a real idealic village local. Full marks to the new owners for turning this pub around. With the rumoured 1500 new homes planned in place of the industrial site opposite, this will certainly be a lot busier. Enjoy it`s modern rustic village pub charm before then.
