The Railway Inn and Railway Pétanque Club

If you’ve been out on the trails nearby and need somewhere to decompress with a pint, this is exactly the kind of place you’d hope to stumble across. The garden is genuinely spacious, there’s a little play area to keep toddlers occupied, and the staff are the sort who actually seem pleased you showed up. The Thai food gets talked about a lot around here — and rightly so, it’s decent and won’t cost you a fortune. Parking’s easy, loos are on-site, and the whole setup makes it a solid call for families doing a country walk who need a proper sit-down at the end of it.
