Welcome

If you love the British pub, you will like this blog. Here I will review the pubs I drop into in my wanderings around my home region - urban, rural, posh, homely, fun pubs, restaurant pubs, and local backstreet pubs. I hope to encourage people to appreciate them.
I will score each pub out of five points each (30 points maximum) on its ambience, decor, service, whether it serves real ales, state of the toilets (but I can't vouch for the state of the gents because I don't use them!) and what extras it has - games, beer garden, newspapers, serves food, karaoke, quizzes, live music.
If after reading one of my reviews you decide to check out a pub, I hope you enjoy the experience. But bear in mind that I have only visited some of them once, and pubs and pub managers change. If the review needs updating, please leave a comment.
Ups and downs? Well, people drink when they're down. And they drink to celebrate, when they're feeling 'up'. Besides that, this is hill country. It's full of ups and downs.

The Railway, Bromley Cross

 




The Railway
37 Chapeltown Road, Bromley Cross, BL7 9LY
TEL: 01204 324601

This reopened in 2018 after being closed and derelict for some time. It closed again in 2022 but reopened late in 2023. It is directly across the road from the railway station and an easy walk from Jumbles Reservoir..

decor - 3
ambience - 3
service - 3
real ales - 1

features - 3
serves food
TV screens
big pub garden

toilets - 3

Score 16 out of 30

Unusual feature: in the pub garden at the back it has an ancient horse chestnut tree with a massive trunk that I estimate at 12 feet in diameter. There are a few younger ones which might be the offspring of this ancient tree.
