Westerfield Railway
formerly Station, Railway Hotel
Real Ale is sold here.
Main Rd, IP6 9AA
grid reference TM 169 471
bar / diner, opened 1890s approx.
A popular split level pub and restaurant, with a real log fire (built by the landlord) that burns on most evenings in the colder months. Real ales are served directly from the cask.
The pub has offered B&B since 2017.
The Bus stop is located just after the nearby crossroads (about 2 minute walk from the pub).
It's believed that the pub pre-dates the railway line and was a coaching inn on the old turnpike. Presumably it had a different name then?

Historical interest
The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1903 (interactive map)
It's understood to have been originally known as the Station. Subsequently it was called the Railway Hotel, with the "Hotel" part of the name dropped in January 1970.
Interestingly, the present building doesn't appear on the 1882 OS map or the 1889-91 OS map, so it appears that the original inn must have been elsewhere?
