A brave attempt at proving you can have a good pub in a railway station, this one has professional service, well-kept Fullers beers and a comfortable, if perhaps fairly bulk-standard, wood-panelled interior. With the pub being located in the Gods of the refurbished part of the station, it's also not as close to the platforms as you might expect so can feel like a bit of an oasis from the swarms of commuters. It's a safe enough option but if you're after some atmosphere, there are a number of better pubs nearby.
