Back to the station and the beer festival marquee was a little too crowded, so I made use of this excellant station refreshment room and current gbg entry for 2011. 7 ales and 2 ciders on. It has been in the gbg over 30 times, between 1978-88/91-2009/10. Very impressive. I must return to Bridgnorth again and stay over to do more exploring. Recommended.

Hobsons - Best Bitter3.80ExceptionalThis LocAle was found all over and, was excellant.
Worfield - Coalport Dodger Mild4.20ExceptionalA five star mild. Superb. It was put on as I was about to depart, so, I had a swift half to end this great day in Bridgnorth. And to cap it all, I caught "Slug 6" (37906) back to Kidderminster for a truly noisy ride! Fantastic.

GBG entry 2011. A licensed refreshment room since 1861 owned by the Severn Valley Railway, this is an exceptionally busy drinking spot, attracting beer drinkers and steam buffs from around the country. The platform drinking area is perfect for soaking up the atmosphere of the steam era, with plenty of fine railway memorabilia on display. A freehouse, the three guest beers tend to be from smaller, often local brewers, plus one changing Belgian beer. A large selection of local and European bottled beers is also available. Sandwiches and pies are occasionally on offer. A CAMRA beer festival is hosted in the car park every September.

We have visited this pub once, seen 7 different beers and tried 3 of them.
