Pub within spitting distance of Chelmsford rail station, a wide selection of ales at both ends of the bar, the lounge areas are decorated loosely in the style of old railway carriages, with historic insignia. There is a pleasant outside area, running the length of the pub buildings.
Great pub, we love coming here. But was in Saturday evening and the usual service we get was lacking. Twice we came to the bar and twice was greeted by the two barmen and young glass collector on their phones. This led to us being served after two sets of gentlemen being served before us even though we was next to be served which is very frustrating as you can imagine. We put it down to there being quite a few new staff working here lately,We hope this was just a one off though as we love this pub and always tell our friends how good it is and how lovely the staff are. We will be back this weekend and are hoping this was just a one off and get the usual warm welcome that the railway tavern usually offers
Friendly pub, clean and had a community feel to it. No stouts or porters at the moment, but that's just a temporary thing the staff member said, but there was a decent mild. Comfortable and welcoming, would recommend.
Great boozer. Very well run & they know how to look after their beers. We will definitely return when next in Chelmsford.
Great pub, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and a good choice of ales. Beer garden to the rear. Didn't try any food but would definitely go again.
Visited after watching Essex cricket lovely friendly little pub a good selection of real ales 👍

Great selection of ales served at the proper temperature near the train and bus station. Paved beer garden with flowers and a good atmosphere. Lovely on a sunny day! No wifi and a curt sign on the door about using the toilets only if you're a customer prevents a 5 star
My first visit for a while and I liked the refurbished rear room, now much more cost. Real ale choice and quality good. A pleasant place to have a conversation.
Friendly staff, good beer, chatty locals. What was the definition of a perfect pub again?
