Been there. Lovely pub. Don't know if it's still around as this was a fair number of years ago - double digits. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was close to a railway station I would enjoy a trip there for a meal. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was responsible for it it was a lovely traditional pub doing food, would have been late 80’s and through the 90’s. The last time I drove past, ten odd years ago it was called The Gurka (I think). No idea now! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the current GWR livery is wrong... now imagine an 800 in chocolate and cream with a proper WR green liveried power car... 1 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
