The stylish red-brick Railway Hotel has been given a new lease of life as a privately owned free house – The Goods Yard. With its traditional atmosphere, top-notch food and service and dog-friendly bar, this charming venue has become the hub of the local community and consistently receives good ratings on TripAdvisor. The pub is popular with visitors as well as locals, particularly with cyclists, walkers and golfers, as it is very close to the popular Castleman Trailway and near the Broadstone Golf Club.
The menu showcases fresh produce, and changes regularly with the seasons. Pub classics such as sausage and mash, homemade pies, steaks, and handmade burgers with triple-cooked chips are rightly popular choices, though more unusual options are a cut above standard pub fare. Tapas-style starters could include halloumi fries with aioli, Thai fishcakes, or glazed pork belly with pickled apple purée. Main courses might feature rump of Wessex lamb with spring greens, and Sri Lankan curry with aromatic rice. A specials board showcases fresh local fish and there are delicious desserts on offer, such as lemon baked Alaska, and milk chocolate mousse. The Goods Yard is Cask Marqueaccredited and the bar offers four real ales, a great range of draught and craft lagers, and a selection of fine wine, all available by the glass, including Champagne and Prosecco.
Visit for a family lunch, a romantic meal or the lively party atmosphere at the weekend – whatever you come for, you’re sure to enjoy The Goods Yard.
