More lies from the 'Spoiltbastard', click his tag and see for yourself. There is only one pub he approves of? Why would that be? And why make up lies about other pubs? The Landlord at the railway is an ex convicted DD himself, would absolutely not drop people 'in it'. You cannot rely on any reviews from this individual 'Spoiltbastard', he obviously has hidden bad intentions directed at many other local pubs that are not the badger. He uses this normally useful review site as his tool of vitriol-ism. Why derail a good site with utter lies? Be a fan of the badger by all means, but don't slag off everyone else's business and tell blatant lies about them.

Another strange review for this lovely village pub. The reason I say strange are for the reasons I list below. My advice would be to visit for yourself and make your own mind up to the validity of this very strange post. Send that bloke to 'Specsavers'
The chap says the pub is cleaner than his last visit. Now there is a worry in understatement and his powers of observation. The fact is, the pub has been completely refurbished to the outside with new signs, fresh paint to all walls, windows and frames, new fencing, new smoking canopy, new exterior lighting, fresh new hanging baskets and window boxes. Yes, I agree, it would look cleaner now, it is vastly better than it has been for years, well done to the new Landlord.
The guy then says the staff were less than good. I do not know who served him but from what I have seen, all of the staff at the Railway seem to be very nice people who cannot do enough for you. The only thing I can think is that he may have been served by Sarah who the locals affectionately call Doris, she never pulls any punches and tells it as it is, if the guy was acting as a twat I have no doubt whatsoever that Doris would have made him less than welcome, he may well have brought that upon himself.
He then says he had cloudy beer that tasted of vinegar. I would suggest that is poppycock, unless he was unfortunate enough to get the last of a barrel (which can happen) in which case, he should have told the staff who will always change any beer that is not up to standard, and would have definitely changed his had he chosen to say something rather than being a burk and walking out, fool on him.
The pub has achieved Cask Marque, the beers are always crisp and clear (unless the end of a barrel) and come up at the perfect temperature. The prices seem just a tad cheaper than all the pubs in the area at £3.10 and £3.40 and in my opinion are great value. I know this pub has recently had all new pump equipment fitted and the lines are cleaned all the time. Even the Landlord seems to drink his own bitter, now that's a good sign if ever you see it.
On Thursday nights they are doing a 'Real Ale Night', they say this is to keep the turnover up and make way for fresh ales that they get delivered on Fridays, I don't disbelieve that. On the 'Real Ale Night' you can buy Youngs or Courage for just £2.50 a pint or beers like Old Peculiar, Rev James, Adnams Broadside, Autumn Gold for Just £2.70 a pint. Give it a try is my advice.
Well worth a visit.

I note the post below by the 'SBOILT.PASTARD' about this pub,so I looked up his previous comments. It seems he used 11 pubs in one day and disliked every one of them. All of his posts are malicious and designed to mislead people.
I use this pub almost every evening now, since the new owners took over, got great real ales back on and got rid of the nasty juke box and the trash that went with it.
There have been no fights in this pub since the new owners took over. The 'fighting types' simply do not use this venue anymore.
I don't think any person should be allowed to single out any other section of the community, as in,, SBOILT.PASTARD refers to 'travelers' using this venue. All I can inform any readers is as follows:
The Railway is now a family run pub with lovely real ales on (this week 'Old Sea Dog, Youngs & Courage Best), the venue attracts local villagers of all ages in a friendly disarming atmosphere. There have been no fights in this pub since the new owners took over.
PLEASE DISREGARD ANY AND ALL POSTS MADE BY THE IDIOT SBOILT.PASTARD. He reviews 11 pubs, and all bad, and all in the same day. This is abuse in my book. There should be laws against it.

Good Lord, I see the post from the 'rambler' below and wonder if he likes to ramble with both his feet and his tongue.
I visited this pub and found it to be very clean and welcoming, the staff were all very friendly and most helpful, no room for complaints whatsoever.
I had a ham sandwich that was packed with good tasty fresh ham and served with complimentary chips and garnish. I had a pint of Spitfire, it was crystal clear and the temperature was just right. No complaints with either the food or beer.
The pub itself is warm, friendly and inviting. Good decor, clean toilets, interesting artifacts and signs, good background music and comfortable seating, outside is a huge beer garden with plenty of seating and a children's play area. I see they do live music most Saturday nights.
Please ignore the previous most vicious post. This is a good pub that you can visit with confidence. I'm sure you will enjoy it there if you go.

The pub has new owners, they advised me they took over in November 2012. They have repainted, cleaned the place, brought in some new furniture and made the atmosphere altogether much more friendly. This pub hasn't had real ale for over 2 years, but the new people have brought them in. Real ales on tap are Young's Bitter, Courage best and London Pride. I had a pride, it was crystal clear and perfect temperature, served up by a delightful happy smiling young lady. very nice indeed. The log fire was on, most welcome in this cold weather. I noticed they do live entertainment like blues and classic rock bands every Saturday night. This pub is definitely worth a visit now, it has obviously improved markedly under the new management.

Railway Tavern, Longfield
oh dear, oh dear oh dear!
More worthless stupidity from an absolutely and obviously childish moron with little better to do than to set themselves out to derail someone else's business and hard work. Some on big man. It is very obvious that all these vitriolic, bile ridden, moronic meaningless posts are the work of just one simple minded idiotic freak. Reveal yourself big man. If you are so bent on the destruction of this local pub it is your civic duty to tell all the regulars and town folk who enjoy this venue exactly who you are and where you can be contacted. I'm sure you will find a good few people who would love to discuss your opposing views and who would be only too delighted to help you understand how moronic stupid childish, misinformed and idiotic you are.
p.s. Did you know that in order to be the licensee of a public house you MUST have a completely clean criminal record that is CRB (police) checked and audited by the council? NO? .. you fool!
