Steamhouse

The pub is located in the original (1872) railway station building, rebuilt after years of neglect by Network Rail and the Railway Heritage Trust. Inside there’s no hint of its former use – it is now a much more open building, and just as well on a Friday night when there are crowds round the bar. The ceilings have been opened up to give a very airy feel to the main bar, and separate side rooms have been created out of what used to be store rooms and the stationmaster’s house. Monday night – darts. Tuesday and Wednesday nights – poker. Thursday night – Open Mike night. Sunday night – live bands, usually local.
