The Railway Tavern, Hungerford, Berkshire

I love a Railway Tavern and this was a pretty good one with London Pride on tap, pleasant enough rock on the speakers, and a bunch of tabloid papers on the table where I sat.  The barmaid was friendly and most of the other customers appeared to be regulars.  The house still looks like a 19th- or early 20th-century hotel and they have live music several times a week.  The only down side is the rail line doesn’t run to Swindon (you would have to change in Reading).
